This product is amazing! It took me a little while to get used to the weight but am thrilled.
My daughter loves them and they fit nicely in her bag without it been bulky.
The therapy shop is absolutely awesome they have everything that I need. Quick ordering and fantastic service and communication on delivery. I give them five stars
Awesome just what we wanted, so difficult to find this product. Very happy with purchase and prompt delivery.
My therapist introduced me to weighted soft toys; they have the tan collie. My soft black & white collie sheepdog is providing comfort throughout day & night. I so desperately needed this! Ended up writing a song about collie and our real pups. As a 50 yo woman in recovery, really appreciate it. Thank you.
Tulip the weighted cat has given my daughter such joy and comfort. Her cute little face is cheeky in fun times and compassionate in sad times. She has been a great companion to my daughter during a hospital stay.
Hello TS,
How lovely to receive this email from you.
I was also thrilled to realise that you are an Australian company.
My daughter here on our grain property - -whose boys are at boarding school, both with weighted plush toys for comfort while away from home - sent me your details.
I was so happy to find that you had a lamb as I had been looking, but obviously not in the right place! 😊
As unusual as it might sound, this one is for me!! (Age 77) I wanted a reminder each day of how a lamb is cared for by the shepherd, particularly in countries where this is still the case. So thank you for being the “answer” to my personal quest.
Regards, Beth
Perfect for the plushie I made for my friend :)
We bought this to replace our animal happy hopper, which was getting too small. We love that it has handles. Great way to expend energy during TV time!
