okay to use with puppies?

I haven't tried it on puppies. It seems to activate on loud noises. Sure is worth a try! I know it has quieted the barking dogs in my neighborhood substantially!

I would think it would be as great for a puppy as a child. The only thing that could be problematic is that puppies mught chew on the plastic.

I guess it all depends on how large your pup is and how big her mouth is. But I'd use a Cool Kong myself.

It probably is....... It provides comforts for puppies and helps with separation anxiety. If the puppy ate tore it up, I don't think it would cause any harm to the puppy. I have purchased 3 different ones and the puppies have never eaten them like a play toy.

With supervision, it should be fine for your lab pup. Unsupervised, I'd be surprised if it lasted a week, but that's just the nature of any pup, really. Should work fine in AZ. I actually use one myself and have found it to be a Godsend when the weather nears or surpasses triple digits.

The heat packs last a long time so you may want to get extras. My puppy is a lab mix and this worked wonderful until he got old enough to chew it up! :)

I wouldn't. They would be very cramped. I have two Shih Tzu puppies at 3.5 and 2.5 and I got a second one because they will not fit in it together much longer and be comfortable

I think that if your dog is a mellow one it would be fine, but if he is hyper for food, he might do some damage. You only use it under supervision.

could be - we use it with larger dogs like pointers or Deutsch Drahthaar. They dont love it in the beginning, trying to shake it off, but then get used to it. Would be worth trying

No they would not startle the puppy enough. You would perhaps consider "cowbells"

I can't say for sure. Our breeder put a snuggle puppy with each of the litter when she separated them from their mother. She crated two puppies together and allowed the mother access during the day so the snuggle puppy came home with his litter mate and mother's scent. We are now on our fourth as it is his crate mate and he won't go to bed without it. He also uses it during the day periodically as a nap mate. Getting him to give up the old soiled and tattered one when a new one arrives is a hoot. We have to eventually hide the old one and insist he "adopt" the new one. I doubt our miniature Goldendoodle will ever outgrow his. It'd be worth a try in your case. I can't say for sure.

It will work but you will have to keep the collar with the rope attached to the puppy at all times in your house. Personally, I think that will be creating a very DANGEROUS SITUATION for you new puppy, it could get caught on something and choked at anytime. My feelings is that you supervise the animals together and let them get familiar with each other, then begin to let the puppy know what is acceptable and what is not! Also, I hope that you have a crate for your puppy for down time and when it is not being watched. I hope this is helpful and good luck with your pets.

I would say yes, there is enough room for your small puppies, but just enough! There would be no extra room to move around,, so I wouldn't recommend it for long periods of time, but for quick trips it would likely work okay.

I don't know. You can give it a try. The heartbeat sound may sooth the puppy. FYI- he chew it .

Yes, 0. But since you have a small dog and as you say a puppy. Better to focus on training. If used improperly this item will not be as effective. I like this product but personally I would not like to use it on such a small dog as it is too easy to yank it. Better to focus on training your dog to be by your side.

I have had my dogs around children and there was not an issue, just make sure your pet is dry after spraying them and you should be good to go.
