Weighted Lying Pug 60cm Our lovely large lap-dog would love to come and keep you company! This big fella weighs around 2.5-3kgs (give or take a few 100 grams) and measures approx 60 cm. Weighted toys and blankets are used as part of occupational therapy forautistic people, stress, ADHD, anxiety, restless legs and other sensoryissuesand can also be great for older patients in nursing homes too. The therapeutic use of weight and deep pressure to the muscles and joints allows the central nervous system to interpret and integrate proprioceptive and tactile input.The main reasons for using weighted products are to calm, improve focus and attention, improve body awareness and to decrease sensory seeking behaviours. They have been invaluable in the treatment of children who do not properly process sensory stimuli. Spot clean with a damp cloth where necessary. DO NOT put in the dryer or the microwave. Please ensure you regularly inspect for any damage to the animal. Do not carry animal by tail, head or legs. Please consult with your therapist before starting any type of weighted therapy. Not suitable for children under three years old. Keep out of their reach.
