My little weighted warmable dog is so cuddly and cute. The weighting is really nice and the plushie is super cute. I like that it has a zipper rather than velcro, but it doesn't have much room for the heat pack.
My students were almost burned by the melting nose and eyes. My son is unhappy his dog isn't as soft as the same plush at his doctors office.
Still very squishable and welcome addition to the classroom. It sounds like this was the perfect for someone with that preference. All of them are well made and have lasted years.
