Emotional security designed for littlies. Charlie is a soft, and weighted puppy dog that is perfect for all children including our sensory and anxious friends. Backed by evidence-based research, Charlie helps with reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality.
Backed by evidence-based research, Charlie the weighted puppy dog focuses on Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS), which is a firm tactile sensory input that provides a Proprioceptive* response to the body. It simulates firm hugs and compression and motivates the release of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. This helps children to regulate their emotions when going to sleep or when they are feeling emotionally overwhelmed.
Beautifully designed and super soft, Charlie is infused with dried French lavender flowers for relaxation and medical stone which is a natural silicate mineral, making him perfect for all our gluten free friends! Charlie is the perfect toy for our littlies to snuggle with.
Please note that while Charlie the Weighted Puppy Dog is soft and cuddly, he is also a special toy that requires gentle care. To ensure his longevity and safety, we recommend that children handle Charlie with care and that he is not subjected to rough play or washing (spot clean only). While we strive to create toys that are both durable and lovable, we cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur due to improper use. Thank you for your understanding and for giving Charlie the love and attention he deserves.

Great Quality!
We have been searching for a weighted toy and came across Mindful & Co. My daughter is obsessed with Elephants so she was so happy to receive this as a gift. She is highly anxious and Eleanor has been such a support and calming influence. Great company and customer service. Highly recommend.

Ollie octopus
Ollie the Octopus has been a great addition to the family! He is super cute and keeps both myself and my cat calm! She loves to snuggle next to him while she sleeps (which is a lot).

Very Happy!
Our young one loves his Charlie! He recently moved into his own room away from his big brother and had been lonely. Charlie is his new best friend, helps him sleep and enjoys movie nights and lots of cuddles. 100% worth every dollar.

Frankl is wonderful
Frankl is wonderful. So soft and comforting. Frankl is providing me support after the recent loss of a beloved Fur Friend. The Team at Mindful & Co were very prompt and the description was very accurate. I happily recommend Frankl and Mindful and Co.

These are amazing!!!
These are amazing, such beautiful designs and the quality is superb. I got 2 - Charlie and Ollie - for my two boys and they are by far the favourite things in the house now. My eldest AuDHD boy gets so much comfort and calming from Ollie. Thank you!!

We love Pickles!
My daughter loves this new friend, and I love the effects it has on her nervous system! She will sit with Pickles on her lap and tell her stories and the weight of Pickles helps to calm her down and bring her back to her body. We call Pickles “the wise old cat,” haha. I haven’t tried microwaving or freezing it yet, although I’m curious to know if my daughter would like either.
We’re both very pleased with this new regulation tool and it’s proven to be a favorite already!

Eleanor Elephant
I saw all the weighted buddies in person. And, this one was absolutely my favourite. Beautiful build quality, good size, very soft plush. Leg and arm joins were sewn around in circular seam. Not sewn flat. Doesn't have weights in legs or arms, but honestly I dont think it needs it. It's perfect as is. Love it! Keep up the great work 🧡
And, I like what you've written on the packaging in regards, to the senses for each of the animals in the weighted designs!

My 4 year old loves her cat! It smells divine!
My 4 year old loves her cat! It smells divine! I actually want one for myself. The only reason I’ve given it one less star is because I’d love the insert to be removable so I could easily put Pickles in the wash.

I love cats
I like the weighted part of this cat. I was pleased with the size of it for holding. I would like to warm it up but it is a bit large for my Microwave . I very happy with my purchase. I appreciated the gift bag it came in.

Beautifully Crafted
I purchased Ollie the Octopus and Francesca the Flamingo for my two sons (8 & 4) who are stage 4 clingers, especially at night. We love how soft they are and the lavender smell is lovely. We like to microwave them before bed and they care for their "babies". The material is so soft and the weight is just right - both children can carry them easily.

cute, soft and real
My autistic 9 year old grandson says it's very cute and soft. At first the weight felt strange to him but he likes it now, makes it feel more "real".

Best for sleep & anxiety relief
My 9 year daughter was suffering from a lot of anxiety, stress, worrying about anything and everything and having trouble sleeping at night - she is obsessed with Charlie and has been sleeping soundly and through the night since he arrived. She also loves a cuddle whenever she starts to feel a bit stressed during the day or night.

Game-changer for bedtime routines
AMAZING!! My daughter would always want me to lay with her until she fell asleep. Since she's had Charlie she has fallen asleep by herself.

Perfect for kids with sensory needs
The weighted feature is ingenious – it provides a sensory experience that my child adores (he has autism). The quality and attention to detail in this puppy are exceptional. Watching my child snuggle up with Charlie is a heartwarming sight.
Produits magnifiques ! De qualité !
L’odeur est relaxante et fraîche. J’adore leur produits!
Le flamingo est doux! Sent bon ! La qualité est vraiment supérieure à tout les autres toutou lourd que j’ai déjà vu !
Je suis super satisfaite !
Amazing, non-sticky, and works wonders for bedtime!
I've been looking everywhere for a clean, safe magnesium oil for my kid, and this completely delivered. It's super lightweight, leaves zero sticky residue, and actually helps my little one calm down and wind down so fast. Absolutely love it, total game-changer!
