Description  

This is a much more common and widely therapeutic application of the term. A weighted Golden Retriever in this context is a realistic-looking, plush toy filled with a heavy material like pellets or beads. These are used as a form of sensory therapy for people.

  • Sensory and Emotional Support: The deep touch pressure from a weighted plush can be very calming and grounding. It works by stimulating the release of feel-good hormones like oxytocin and dopamine, which can help reduce feelings of anxiety, stress, and overstimulation.1

     

    Assistance for Specific Conditions: Weighted plush animals, including Golden Retrievers, are often used as therapeutic tools for individuals with:

    • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): The deep pressure can help with sensory regulation and provide a sense of security, which is beneficial for managing sensory overload and meltdowns.

    • Anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The calming effect can help in moments of high anxiety or during panic attacks.

    • Dementia and Aged Care: A weighted plush dog can serve as a comforting companion for elderly individuals, providing a sense of companionship and reducing loneliness and anxiety without the responsibility of a live pet.

  • Portable Comfort: Weighted plushies are a convenient and portable way to provide comfort and sensory input. They can be held on the lap, against the chest, or hugged, offering a source of relief at home, in the car, or in a new environment.
