20 Best Dogs For Kids With Autism (2023 Updated)

What my daughter and I first noticed was how soft this puppy was! She feels so cuddly and snuggly! There is a switch at the bottom to make the puppy happy or sad, which I thought was very clever. My daughter loves switching it back and forth.

The puppy’s tail wags, it nods it’s head and make various sounds, such as whimpering and panting. It came with a collar and tag you can write on and you can decorate and keep the box as a dog house! This is a well made, fun toy for little animal lovers!.

This is one of the cutest toys ever! The Little Tikes Company Rescue Tales pets are so adorable!! I love the way it arrives in the box. It comes with some fun and interactive add ons like the adoption certificate and chart!!! So sweet! Such a clever toy! Great for kids who love animals but aren’t quite ready for a real pet! A great gift too! It actually had me feeling nostalgic when I opened the box and saw it!.

When I first saw the poodle I couldn’t get over how cute it was and the package it came in. I love that the box can be colored and entertain my kids. The Poodle is very soft and very cuddly. At first I had the sad option on and was confused why the puppy was only crying, even when we were petting it.

We then found an option to change that and my kids were happy the puppy wasn’t sad anymore. It’s a cute simple toy for the young ones- not too interactive. I honestly think for the price, it’s boring.

I bought this pup for a dear friend who has Alzheimer’s. I don’t live near her and didn’t know how she would react. Alzheimer’s patients can be unpredictable about what calms them or makes them less frustrated.

She LOVED it from the very moment she saw it. We don’t know if she realizes it’s not real but she treats it as if it is. She talks to it and it responds to her voice. It’s very sweet to watch. For privacy reasons, I’m not allowed to post photos of her with the dog.

But just picture in your mind a loving woman holding the pup and talking puppy talk to it and never letting it out of her sight (except at night, when the nurses take it for safe keeping).

My Mom is really enjoying the company this little guy offers. She has wanted a dog so bad but since she is in memory care it was not feasible. I was afraid that she might be hurt with the almost a dog gift but she talks about it all the time.

She says he’s a little bossy and wanted a brush to groom him.

I lost my own dog. When I saw that this dog would react to me it was perfect. My dog used to sit with me and I would just pet his soft fur and talk to him! I could get him to give me a little bark and look up at me! I can’t take care of a real dog but I can still feel comfort as best I can! His name is Buddy!.

Faust is a beautiful dragon! His silver colour is gorgeous! The gold on his wings, crest, & claws are marvelous! His photo really doesn’t due justice to this high quality dragon. He’s very durable, soft and cuddly as well! He looks great on a shelf or guarding your bed! He will be greatly loved in any home! If you have a dragon lover in your life of any age, ‘adopt ‘ Faust ‘ the silver dragon for them today! You won’t be disappointed!.

I bought this for my parents (in their early nineties) who had to give up their pet dog when they moved into Assisted Living and now Memory Care. They missed him more than I could believe. I hoped this JOY FOR ALL puppy would help, but I knew there was a chance it would never make a connection and end up just sitting in the corner.

Instead, it has been a huge hit! They both took to it immediately. My dad said it was an answer to prayer. The variety of motions, the responsiveness to touch and sound, the volume of it’s various barks and sounds (clearly audible but pleasantly soft) — all of it has been perfect.

And despite their tech challenges and memory issues, they have had no trouble remembering how to turn it on and off. They are in love with it, and I am totally pleased.

It’s just TOO CUTE! Very well made and interactive. Wags its tail, turns its head when hears your voice or stroke it, barks(can be muted), even sounds sad if you don’t respond. After a while it “takes a nap” until you “wake it”.

My daughter adores it! She’s named it,Roger. We were going to wait till Christmas to give it to her, but couldn’t hold off until then, so we gave it to her early(now we need a new Christmas present!).

We lost our longtime friend earlier this year and of course it’s been hard on everyone. She has been asking to get a new puppy, so this will definitely fill the void. Even I can’t resist giving him a scratch behind the ear.

Well worth every cent! Five stars * * * * * and two thumbs up!.

Very well made interactive puppy that makes various noises & actions. My Mum loves Cheeky, as do the other residents in her care home. Cheeky creates interest wherever she goes, she is spoken to so much and she obliges by woofing back.

My Mum kindly lends Cheeky to her friend Ethel when shes feeling very distressed & needs to leave to go home to look after her parents. Cheeky will sit on Ethels knee & have such long & happy conversations with a smiling Ethel.

A brilliant interactive puppy for those with dementia.

Hi This review might surprise you. I am a retired professor of Anthropology living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I live alone and have been in quarantine since March. Last month I stopped by a pet supply store and saw a life-size white tiger for sale.

And I thought, hmmm. At home I read, remotely talk to friends, neighbors and relatives, cook, and quite often, talk to the walls of my adobe house. What I need is a not so invisible but cuddly friend.

So I bought the tiger, named her Miriah, and was pleased that I did not need a large cat box or a tiger-sized supply of kitty kibbles. She listens to everything i say and sits in my lap watching television.

Sooo, I bought another tiger from your website for my grandson who lives in Philadelphia, figuring that an 11 year old only child might value a masculine friend to tell secrets to but I was leery that he might think his grandmother was a bit looney.

To my delight, the video sent to me from my daughter showed him opening the box, pulling off the plastic and exclaiming “This is very cool”. My son-in-law contemplated placing a small listening device in the tiger.

Later, I was explaining this scenario (my and my grandson’s tigers) to my cousin who lives in Oaxaca, Mexico and while online with me, she went onto your website and bought a Llama/Alpaca for a friend of hers who is spending the first holiday season without her husband and grieving badly.

Her M & D creature is now a crying comfort without having to curtail the tears. So you see, with this pandemic, everyone needs a tiger or a giraffe or an elephant in their life. While Miriah doesn’t say much, she is a great listener.

Did I want to buy my five year old daughter a GIANT giraffe for Christmas? No. Not particularly. Was it just an idea blurted out to Santa after twin sister asked very specifically for a different stuffed animal? Yes, yes it was.

But oh man does she love this thing. It gets put to bed at night, eats breakfast with her in the morning, has a spot in her room to stay during the day – she LOVES it. Melissa & Doug makes a great product and not only is this durable, it is easy to love.

Lovely toy with its bright colours and fuzzy fur texture. Cute little puppy. A lot of care and attention has been given Down to the small detail of a little doughnut in pumpkin’s eye. Lovely little interactive toy which works brilliantly.

The packaging its colourful and very attractive to a young child. I like that there is more to collect and the packaging shows you who else there is. Good size toy roughly the size of a adult hand. With the little doughnut candy being large too.

I gave this toy to my niece and she absolutely loved it. The colors are nice a nd vibrant they really attract the childs attention. The quality is very good. Sturdy wont break easily. The toy is fun to play with.

It kept her busy the entire time I was visiting a few hours at least. It was so cute she really had fun playing with the pupkin puppy and showing it off to everyone. I am very happy overall and she has actually brought it over to my house a few times to play with it.

I am glad it still has her attention.

I got the Kindi Kids Pets Pupkin Puppy for my 6 year old daughter. She loves it! She was so excited to get it and has played with the Pupkin Puppy for hours with her Kindi Doll. The Pupkin Puppy is made of great quality.

It moves its eyes and head when you are playing with it. A great way for kiddos to use there imaginations. I highly recommend the Kindi Kids Pupkin Puppy for all kiddos to play with.

My 6 and 8 year old children actually worked together for once. They both enjoyed working to get their play set put together. It is perfect for these cold indoor activities. Yes, they were frustrated at times.

I would tell them to just come back to it. Eventually they have gotten it all together all by themselves and they felt so good about it. They have taken pride in their work and they love playing with it afterwards.

It provides hours of fun. I like the craftsmanship put into this set. I would buy more along this line.

My daughter is really into Lego’s right now, and one of her favorites is the friends set! This is an adorable fun set, that is fun for hours. It comes with so many accessories, and so much to play with.

Has 2 little dolls, and 2 puppies to play with. You can give them a bath, play fetch, and ring up customers. So many things to do with this set. It is a great brand, very durable, and pretty easy to build.

With an imagination, this will bring lots of joy and fun!!! Just can’t go wrong with the Lego brand!!!.

The Lego Doggy Day care building set is easy enough for a 10 year old to put together and still have fun with as it is a little work for a 6 year old that can still advantage from it. The directions are easily followed and it took less than 15 minutes from start to finish for my children to start playing with it complete.

The pieces can be too small for younger children as this is not a big block duplo set. The characters and their pets are very cute and the accessories are a nice addition to this set. You can easily add other pieces from other sets or integrate this set into another.

Great plush toy Yorkie dog. Very soft and cuddly and life-like features. Fast delivery and price was right. My friend’s real poodle loves sleeping on it!

My daughter asked for a puppy for Christmas so I wanted to get something as close as possible to the real thing. This guy is awesome! Super soft and he looks just like a little Yorkie. She loves him!

I needed the same puppy to replace the very used Yorkie for a 2 1/2 year old boy. Rufus will be getting a bath so I hope the little boy will go with that. For a used stuffed animal he was like new! Thanks for saving the day!!.

Fantastic book on many levels. To a degree it is a mystery, but it is also so much more than that. Beautifully and inventively told in the first person through the eyes of an autistic teenager. It gave me great insights into the life of a relative I have who is on the autism spectrum.

It was hard to put down and easy to read. Inspiring as well.

Not suitable for a traditional classroom that doesn’t’ allow profanity. I plan to keep it in class, however, I will be ‘whiting out’ the profanity. Very well written and engaging otherwise!

Haddon is a brilliant storyteller. Presenting the English town Swindon from the perspective of a problem child, an autistic savant and math genius who claims, “I see everything,” Haddon gives us an alternative view of the entire world and universe, strange yet valid.

It is fun to follow this child as he solves crimes and tackles life problems. The book is such a great read! No wonder it garnered so many prestigious awards! Recommend highly!.

Chinese junk ! Size specs are inaccurate. First one hasp broke 2 months dean and Tyler replaced. Second one weak springs in hasp. This one I bought used because medium is almost to large for my dog this one is way too small! They are supposed to cross fit.

Durable and dependable. Easy to clean and long lasting. Has held up well for a few years now. Good investment

One of the great Fur- Real pets and great quality! This dog is so cool. It is a awesome and beautiful gift for a child who loves stuff animals. Sleep mode is genius and wish all toys did it this well.

He is super cute and several family members had fun playing with him. Only issue is he kept falling over – off chair, table, etc. Had to put him on floor. He survived multiple falls, so seems pretty sturdy.

I think kids will enjoy playing with him and learning other things he can do.

We bought this for my son’s fifth birthday because he wanted a robotic dog. He loves this toy. He has been talking to it and bringing it everywhere with him for days. Definitely worth the money.

This scooter should be taken off shelves IMMEDIATELY!!!! It is too heavy in the front so it tips forward! Especially when the seat is on and my daughter is sitting on it riding it!!! This is the second TIME the scooter tipped forward and hit her head ! I thought the first time was a fluke! But after it happened again I took a close look at the scooter and it’s easy to tell the weight is unevenly distributed! This is a hazard! DO NOT BUY THIS FIR YOUR BABIES !!!!.

My grandson enjoyed riding this so much. He is 20-month-old and he practically stayed on this scooter the whole time he visited with me. He has 2 big dogs at home, so he loved the fact that it had a dog’s face on it.

He loved the musical button and he kept pressing it. He drove his Gigi a little crazy with it but none the less he loved it. Best toy I have ever bought him. And, I love that it grows with him. Perfect!!!!!.

I purchased this for my grandson’s first birthday and he absolutely loves it!!! He is currently using it in stage one mode as a walker/wagon, zooming around the family room and kitchen. It’s very easy for him to maneuver around obstacles, and he is obviously very proud of himself.

His confidence when walking independently has soared. We looked at various ride-on toys before buying and we couldn’t be happier with this purchase!.

This was, without a doubt, the best Christmas gift! My son loves him! He really has a calming effect as he is petted and held. He actually snores when no one plays with him. Very life-like. Better than a real dog.

he doesnt require walks or feeding, and doesnt chew the furniture! Excellent emotional support “animal” for people of all ages. Would be a great “companion” for elderly persons or children who may be ill or hospitalized.

Well worth the cost. There are “robotic” pets for sale that may cost hundreds of dollars, but this is a less expensive option, and just as good. Its “bark” is soft and calming, not loud or scary. This company also makes a cat that is extremely lifelike.

Bought this as a gift for my 86 y/o dad who lives alone in Independent living. In his words “I love this dog”, “She seems so real”, “I don’t feel so alone”, “This is the best gift I have ever gotten”.

This is perfect for anyone who has a parent who lives alone for companionship. The dog reacts to him coming home barking. Turns his head to his voice. Even has a heartbeat. Dog is so life like except for having to take them out or feed them.

Perfect for our seniors especially those alone not able to care for a live pet. Highly recommend and so very happy with purchase. My dad said it made him feel like a kid again.

My young kiddo really wants a dog, but we can’t have one where we live. Kiddo has now accepted and made peace with our limitations, and I saw this as a possible substitute for the time being. While cute and has some realistic characteristics, wasn’t lifelike enough to interact with with regularity.

For what it’s actually intended for, I’m sure it’s fantastic.

Such an adorable and imaginative plush toy! It’s a teaching tool as well and makes a lovely gift for any child. The expression in this proud mama is priceless and the four puppies have nice color variations.

Great attention to detail!.

My 5 year old LOVES this toy. It was an early Christmas present and she has carried it around with her a ton since opening it. She took it to before school care to show her friends and they ALL loved it, even the boys.

Seems to be good quality and mama dog has very soft ears. Nursing puppies fasten to mama dog with pretty good magnets. Kiddo loves this so much I ordered the kitty one, too, again. Tried for mama kitty first but Walmart ran out so going for it again since they got a few more in stock.

They are a little pricey but since my child is actually playing with it it’s worth it.

Soft and cuddly toy with a difference, appealing to the nurturing child. Cute adorable Nana (Mummy) dog with 3 small puppies all of different colour, that attach to pink cricles (teats) via magnets, six teats in all.

Also fun to find out what else the puppies can magnetise to. The nana dog has limited range of movement, can only lie on her side but not really an issue. It came in a plastic bag no branded packaging.

Highly recommend.

This perfect pet is described as huggable but it’s flat as a board and I didn’t know that. In the picture it looks like it’s laying down but I thought you could hold it and it would be more like a stuffed animal instead of a completely flat bottom.

It’s more like a perfect pets for display not for hugging and the other things it’s describing.

I bought this item for a friend’s 7 yr old daughter. I have one myself & love it, because it reminds me of my Pug that passed away in December 2019. It has brought me comfort.

Got this as a gift for my niece and she loves it. Came exactly as described and within a week of ordering. The dog sheds a bit, and wish there was a turn off function but is completely adorable.

I really enjoyed the Wagadoodle Dogs toy from Woodzeez. What I like most about this product is how cute and detailed this little family of dogs is. The set includes the whole family. It comes with Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister and tripletts.

How cute!! Opon opening the set, I was excited on how SOFT these dogs are. They are little. The clothes are removable, they have velcro on them. and they are well made! They seem like they will last a long time.

Other sets can be bought seperately if you want to collect them all. My kids enjoyed the Wagadoodle Dogs. I will recommend this product to family and friends. Thank you!.

I got this for my 3 year old boy. Now if it was just up to him this would get 5 stars. He has named each member of his doggy family and just loves the set. Now let me start with the packaging. They were so in the package it was just too much way more secure then needed.

The babies the diapers are a pain won’t stay on. Other than that they are cute.

My four year old son absolutely loves the Woodzeez brand. This dog family has by far been his favorite of the characters. He has the Woodzeez grocery store and home as well. He engages in pretend play for hours at a time with these.

The characters are made with quality and have great detail.

My 5 week old grandson sometimes has tummy issues (trouble clearing his bowels)- which is why I purchased this – the warmth and gentle even pressure helps him immensely. An additional benefit is when he is in a growth spurt.

He can’t tell us his legs or such hurts- only cry. This was the case the day I got this- he had not slept much the night before- waking and crying when he moved in his sleep and being an unhappy fussy little man that day.

I warming it up, set it next to him- and he kept moving around with little fussing until we got his hint and set it over his tummy and legs. He held onto the snout and a front leg- smiled and fell into a deep snoring sleep.

Lenencanta!

Puppie Love products are amazing!!! I love all my shirts and stickers!!! I’m addicted! I love they give back to rescue organizations and offer quality products! I’ve gotten so many compliments on my shirts! Especially my Autism Acceptance Pup shirt! I’m a disabilities coordinator for preschoolers, and my staff and parents loved the shirt! Thank you Puppie Love! I’m a fan!!!.

Bought this shirt for my son who works with autistic young adults. A couple of his clients have service dogs. Loved how money from the shirts go to help this cause. Your products are always the best.

He received so many compliments on the shirt when he wore it. Totally enjoy supporting Puppie Love!.

I get so many compliments on this shirt. I love that the company did a shirt for autism acceptance as it brings an awareness to the community. The dark blue is a perfect choice as it makes the design on the back pop out.

I have worn this shirt several times and there’s no fading on the design – looks brand new each time I put it on.
