I'm a lab breeder and highly recommend new puppy owners to have one of these Snuggle Safe Heat Pads ready for their first night at home with their new puppy. It offers comfort to a restless puppy missing the warmth of a puppy huddle. I own two of these warmers and use them for the puppies and for myself to soothe a sore back. This is a great product, it's durable and well worth the investment.
