Charlie the Puppy Dog (1.5 kg): Weighted, Hot/Cold Therapy & Aromatherapy 🐶💜
Meet Charlie, your child’s new best friend! Backed by evidence-based research, Charlie the Puppy Dog is a beautifully designed, super-soft companion that utilizes Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS) to provide comforting proprioceptive feedback to the body.
Simulating the feeling of a firm hug, Charlie's gentle 1.5 kg weight helps motivate the release of serotonin and dopamine in the brain, aiding children in regulating their emotions when feeling overwhelmed or preparing for sleep. Better yet, Charlie is infused with natural dried French lavender and can be heated or cooled to provide immediate, soothing thermal therapy!
