Perfect Petzzz Original Petzzz Huggable Pug Puppy, Realistic, Lifelike Stuffed Interactive Pet Toy, Companion Pet Dog with 100% Handcrafted Synthetic Fur

Bought this pug Perfect Petzz puppy for my mother-in-law, who lives in a nursing home. She suffers slight dementia, but her mind is mostly intact even if her memory and comprehension don't always keep up. I wanted a gift that would bring her happy thoughts and warm fuzzies. She has plenty of bathrobes, slippers & toiletries already. She can't hear at all, so that eliminates audio equipment. Visual electronics would be stolen or too complicated for her to operate. (I'm working on a photo album/scrapbook, but it's not ready to gift yet.) Clothing gets lost in the laundry, even if it's marked with her name. We keep her supplied, anyway, of course - but that's not a "warm fuzzy" Christmas gift. What to do????? I searched "Christmas gifts for nursing home patients" and this was the first thing that popped up. PERFECT. It is actually PERFECT for her. She was a bit confused when unwrapping it (a toy?!? seriously?!?) but when I activated the battery and placed it in front of her on its little bed, her expression changed. I had to place her hand on its back before she understood that it's "breathing". She looked up at me with an expression of wonder. After that, she sat there and petted and stroked it for several minutes. I don't know yet where it's been placed in her room, but I hope Dad thought to put it on the bed or in a place where she can see and touch it frequently. She used to have a Pug that she loved. That dog hated everyone else (feeling was mutual), but it never left her side until it died a few years ago. I hope it brings her happy memories of that d**n dog. The practical side: Body of the pet is hard, not squeezable or cuddly, but has very soft fur and you can feel and hear the 'breathing' movement. It is VERY lifelike in the facial appearance, eyes, nose, and even the parts of its feet that show. It's small - for this breed, appears to be the size of a pug puppy about 6 months old. Came in a pet carrier box, with a dog bed, small fur brush, and already included a "D" cell battery. It also had a laughable "Certificate of Adoption" with clearly mis-translated text: "Made of quality oranic [sic] virgin silicone vinyl, and […] raw materials." LOL right. But that's okay. She loves it, it works as advertised, arrived quickly, and that's all that matters to me.

It’s so cute!

I saw reviews written by other people who purchased these for loved ones with dementia so I thought I’d give it a try. My mom has always been an animal lover and had cats all her life before going into assisted living/memory care. But I have pugs which she also loves, and so when I saw there was a pug that’s what I had to get. She absolutely loves it, spent the longest time stroking it and crooning and baby-talking to it and saying how sweet and how soft it was. She was excited to show the staff members who came into her room. It was lovely to see how engaged she was. I don’t know if this level of engagement will continue, but day one was a big success.

Yesterday, my pug of seven years, Bosco passed away due to heart cancer, and my world shattered that little guy would sit on the arm chair of my recliner for hours and sleep, and today would’ve been the first day without him, and then this package arrived just in the nick of time. I highly recommend if you are grieving and miss your little pet. This is not a toy. It is not huggable and you can’t really cuddle it, but it does provide much comfort. Comes with battery and a little brush. It also has a little adoption certificate.

This stuffed dog is basically the perfect roommate. It never steals my snacks, doesn’t hog the blankets, and somehow looks incredibly judgmental while doing absolutely nothing. It’s soft, squishy, and survives everything—hugs, flinging across the room, even being used as a pillow for my cat. I’m pretty sure it secretly runs the household now, but at least it’s adorable while doing it. Highly recommend if you want a dog that’s all fluff, zero responsibility, and maximum attitude.

Keeps company to help avoid lonely feeling. Realistic breathing to the point that a couple of people have mistaken my pug for a real one! Good purchase. Brings a smile to my face. Breathing last a long time with first battery.

For my mom who has dementia and she loves it. She says it’s so cute and already trained. Lays on her lap and breathe.

Beautiful love it. Just while it breathing going up and down., it's noisy. Thats the only issue. I love it so much looks so real. I refuse to return. I've gotten use to the sound. Actually comforting now.

Vor ein paar Tagen ist mein Mops verstorben,er wurde 12 Jahre alt.Sein Tod hat mich sehr mitgenommen.Und dieser leere Platz,wo sein Körbchen stand ...mir fehlte der Anblick,die Geräusche...einfach alles!Für einen neuen Welpen bin ich noch nicht bereit.Aber dieser kleine Kerl hier hat mir das Lächeln zurück gebracht.Wie er da im Korb liegt...der Korb meines verstorbenen Lieblings...da ist endlich wieder Leben drin!Auch wenn es nur simuliertes Leben ist.Dieser kleine Schatz fühlt sich so echt an und sieht so echt aus!Und wie sich der Bauch leise hebt,diese süßen Atemgeräusche...hörbar,aber nicht nervig aufdringlich.Ich bin sehr sehr dankbar für diesen kleinen Racker!Und der Preis ist auch voll ok.❤️🥰

It is absolutely adorable from what I can see, through the window of the box. I purchased as a gift, so haven't been able to fully try try out the breathing function. However, I recieved it to my door in an amazing time frame. Contents included as promised.

Bought as a gift for my daughter as her pug had recently died.. She was absolutely thrilled with it and finds it very comforting…a breathing pug! Beautiful

Tuve dudas en comprarlo,aparte que se hace un poco caro...muchos de los comentarios tanto de este modelo(raza)como de otras de esta marca...eran muy malos! Lo que tenía claro es que lo quería en plan decoración,me daba igual si hacía algo o no,es más,No lo puse a funcionar!pero cuando llegó y lo saqué de la caja me encantó!es muy realista,como en las fotos del anuncio,está muy bien hecho y muy simétrico,reconozco que vi fotos de algún usuario y me echaba para atrás ya que en esas fotos no se veían bien hechos poco realistas...quizá yo tuve suerte porque el mío parece de verdad,y el tamaño perfecto,hay que contar que un cachorro de carlino real de unos 2 meses no iba a ser más grande!así que no entiendo las quejas de la gente...si fuera un gran danés pues lo entendería más,pero un perrito de raza pequeña,tiene la medida que tiene que tener. Lo dicho,es un poco caro,pero sin duda,si sé que es como el que me llegó lo volvería a comprar y quizá me anime con otra raza ...
