Warm Buddy Testimonials - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |
Over the last year, I have given a “Warm Buddy” as a gift of comfort and care to numerous patients undergoing cancer treatment. These beautifully made Warm Buddy’s have given a sense of calm to so many adults who also have that ‘child’ within that is often forgotten in challenging times – such as a serious illness. One is going out today to a 80year old man who is finishing his last round of radiation treatments. I am so happy to give this large puppy, not only celebrate the last of his treatments, but to say I care. Your company creates beautiful items. I often think of Mother Theresa’s comment: Perhaps we can do no great things, only small things with great love. Giving a Warm Buddy for me has made it possible to give a small, beautifully made item to someone with great love.

Our 3 year old daughter Chloe has a Warm Buddy that she calls Sheepy. It has become an integral part of her life! She received it as a gift when she was only days old. We don't go on overnight trips without Sheepy. Sheepy has been well loved and it shows. He has been everywhere. Our son loves him too, so we thought it was time to get him his own...
Thanks for the help and for creating these wonderful kids plush toys. Bedtimes have been so easy since she fell in love with her baby sheep!

I received a Warm Buddy Co. neck wrap as a gift about five years ago. I didn't use it much at first, except when I had headaches. I had 2 similar car accidents in 2.5 years which resulted in wide spread soft-tissue injuries that included whiplash, headaches, muscle spasm, shoulder tendonitis, arm pain, TMJ syndrome, a slipped rib, spinal sprain to all levels, ligament damage to the SI joints, bi-lateral hip pain, pelvic pain and severe left leg spasm in the adductors and hamstrings, ringing and pain in my ears, and knee pain. I now have a chronic pain syndrome, am unable to work and have difficulty sitting, standing and walking without increasing pain. I've seen many specialists and therapists, tried different medications and have exhausted most treatment options and stumped my Dr.'s. I have naturally hyper-mobile joints and the accidents have made them more so, which has resulted in my SI joints and back going out on me frequently.
I was told to use ice to manage my pain, but I didn't find much relief with it. My massage therapist suggested I try heat instead. I've tried many types of heat treatments that have cost as much as $2800.00 and the best, long-lasting heat therapy I have is provided by my Warm Buddy wrap. I've used an infra-red jade acupressure massage bed, an infra-red heating pad, hot water bottles, a standard heating pad, as well as two other types of heat wraps: a neck wrap from Beauti-Control and a Magic Bag Neck to Back Wrap. All of these products do not measure up to my Warm Buddy wrap. The Beauti-Control and Magic Bag neck wraps seemed to provide moist heat at first, but didn't retain the heat very long and, after awhile, they required longer amounts of time to heat up in the microwave, lost the moistness that I found helpful and started to smell like the seeds inside were burning. After years of extensive daily use, my Warm Buddy wrap still takes the same amount of time to heat as it did when I first received it, it still provides moist, long-lasting heat and doesn't smell like it's burning. Also, the weight of it is comfortable enough that I can tolerate it on areas that are hyper-sensitive to touch. It helps with severe pain and spasm, but it also provides headache relief and when the ringing and pressure in my ear gets really bad, I hold it against my ears and the heat takes some of the pressure away and then the ringing subsides. I use it throughout the day, I sleep with it, I take it with me if I am going out somewhere I can access a microwave (including camping), and I heat it up to take with me if I have to go for a long drive. It is by far the most useful (and well-used) piece of therapeutic equipment I own and for the price that my mother-in-law paid for it, the most economical as well. Though I still require anti-inflammatory and pain medication to manage my pain, having my Warm Buddy wrap has meant that I can usually take less of that medication than I would normally need to in order to manage my pain. Thank you for providing such a worthwhile product!

| I bought my 2 daughters Warm Buddies 2 years ago and they have not spent a night without them when they are home. My neighbor bought them for her children this past Christmas and I bought 3 for my nieces and nephews. This year the list is expanding. Flu season and cold season was the best. Kids needed them even more then. I wash the covers, occasionally scent the packs, even put the packs in the freezer in the summer for a cool buddy!!! It works just as well!!!

| I have no idea if you want to know this or not, but I thought if it were me, I think it would be a fun thing to hear. My daughter has one of the small puppies in black and white. It goes everywhere (canoe trips, day care, groceries, etc) and we used to have 2 just in case one was lost and they sort of got even wear. One ended up out the window on the highway (long story) and so we are down to 1 which is getting worn out. We got her one of the chocolate and cream puppies as a gift when she got toilet trained which she likes ok, but it doesn't measure up to her well worn "Buddy". I don't think it's the colour, just the amount of love it's received... Anyway, I thought you would want to know how happy you've made our little girl, it would be impossible to explain to you how much she loves it. I'd be more than happy to send a picture of it if you were interested.

My son received a warm buddy bear as a birthday present and it became a fast favorite. It was the one thing that got him to sleep through the night on his very own. We had tried everything and were getting very desperate to find the one thing that would work for him. The first night he was fussy, we warmed up the little pouch, placed the bear in the bassinet with him and he snuggled right up to the bear and settled down to sleep. The bear is now his most favorite item and we can't go anywhere to sleep over without it.

I have a girlfriend that was involved in a terrible car accident. She almost didn't make it. She suffered extensive head injuries. I purchased your body pillow a few days later and it is the only thing that puts her at ease. Her headaches are 10 times worse than the average headache and she absolutely loves her warm buddy. Since then we have purchased most of the products for ourselves. It's a great and effective alternative to medicines. Thank you so much for you wonderful products.

| A very special thanks. There months ago I seriously injured my shoulder and am waiting for surgery. Your Body Pillow heat wrap has been my savior, helping to relax the muscle spasms so I can sleep at night. It holds a comfortable level of warmth for up to two hours in bed after just three minutes in the microwave. I can't thank you enough.

Hello,
I just bought a Warm Buddy Baby Beary for my grandchild. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate finding a toy made in Canada, and cute, cuddly and fun to boot! A great gift to give that I can feel both proud of and know it is perfectly safe, I can't thank you enough!

On behalf of myself, my wife and daughter, we are most appreciative of the caring support your firm provided with the recent sending of a pair of warm buddy slippers to me.
As an ALS patient, the one problem I do experience is with weakening of muscles in the lower limb area, and hence an associated coldness is occurring right now in my feet. Your slippers, and their unique design incorporating heat has been wonderful in helping me cope with this problem. I will be sharing this information with other patients at our upcoming monthly Victoria Chapter meeting and showing them your product and of course highly recommending it.
So again thanks so much for your true support for patients and their situations, and as my daughter said to you, "You just continue to make the world go around. "

I also just wanted to let you know that my son just loves this product. It is great for snuggling at night and when it is cold outside I just throw it in the carseat or stroller to give him some extra warmth.

We've been using Warm Buddy products in our esthetics Studio for about 8 years now. Our guests love the warm neck wrap with their pedicures and almost always want to purchase one to take home.
We use the spa mitts with all of our manicures and slide them on after the cuticle oils and lotions are massaged in. Not only does it feel wonderful, but the heat helps the lotions to penetrate better. The Body Pillow heat pack is placed on the bed to warm the sheets, then we let our guest place it on her chest and tummy so she is enveloped in cozy warmth. We've just added the robes for guests to wear between services, and the first day we brought them in guests already wanted to purchase them.
Using Warm Buddy Spa products for our services creates the feeling of luxury, and enhances the value of the service, not to mention the fabulous retail opportunities.

| I just have to e-mail and say that I absolutely love my Warm Buddy Teddy Bear (mine is brown)! While shopping with my mother I fell in love, and even thought she said I was "too old" (c'mon, I'm only 22) for another bear. She bought him for me for my birthday. It was so cozy and comforting to have a little Warm Buddy in bed with me at night and recently he helped me greatly when I had a bout of unexplainable arm pain (probably computer related). Hot water bottles are so awkward and heavy (and I've often awoke in a puddle) but your Warm Buddy line is the best! What a great product.

In 2004, I had stomach surgery that resulted in some complications. I was off work and in pain for a number of months. My dear mother in law bought me a Small Warm Puppy to comfort me and bring some much needed relief from my pain. I use it all the time, even now that I'm completely well. My puppy is a small warm reminder that I am loved, every time I hug him. Thank you for the service you provide. You have no idea how you truly touch hearts.

Warm Buddies are amazing! We received an Ultra Sports Therapy Wrap and a blanket in a gift basket and now I want to give them to everyone I know. Your products heat and cold therapy is great on aches and pains, or I use it to warm up the bed on a cold night. It stays hot for a long long time... and the blanket is the softest thing I've ever touched. I use it whenever I am laying down on the couch and 3 months later it is still as soft as day 1. Keep up the good work!

| Hello, My children each have an original Warm Buddy Bear. They have had them since they were infants and sleep with them every night. They are a great source of comfort to them. You make a wonderful product that is well loved. All my best,

I love the fragrance. The Body Wrap has a long heating ability for a minimum of 1 hour (no more running to the kitchen to heat up those cooled down hot water bottles after 10-15 minutes... plus this doesn't leak!). Follow the instructions and pop the hot pack into the microwave, snuggle into bed with a good book and warm away those aches and pains!
Whenever my girl has had a bump or a bad 'Owie' wrapping ice in a cloth has always been pushed away, the ice-cubes have melted onto her clothes and well, at the end of it all she's a cold, wet mess… with a big 'Owie' still on display!
Thankfully we've not had the opportunity or need to use the Warm Buddy Baby Bear she received yet but since 'Brownie' has already been welcomed with such love I know when she does need to use 'Brownie' to help rub down those unwelcome 'Owies', she'll do it without a fight.

My favorite product for patient use and recommendation is the Ultra Shoulder Wrap. It has the perfect consistency in coverage, weight and heat retention. It perfectly covers the major problem area that many patients suffer from: neck and shoulder tension. I like the fact that it sits right across the shoulders and does not feel like its going to slide off as I have experienced this with cheaper products.
I personally love the Sports Therapy Wrap. I took one home and it's just wonderful. I used it as a cold pack and the wrap stayed cool for a long time. I passed it off to my husband after 20 minutes of use and he continued to use it throughout the evening. I just love the weight of the packs. Absolutely perfect (and as a registered massage therapist) it is extremely important for me to have high quality products.
