Meet Starsky the Collie – a hard-working sheep dog that still loves snuggles and cuddles – a sensory and tactile 1.8kg weighted plush toy.
After a hard day on the farm, a tired out Starsky loves to snuggle on the lounge or bed with her Owner, enjoying lots of cuddles, tickles and belly rubs.

Therapeutic benefits of weighted toys include:
- aiding the development of self-soothing techniques
- aiding in anxiety management
- can support in calming and settling
