That’s why we created Turbobo, your new best friend. Turbobo offers a simple, sweet, science backed solution that can offer real relief in a way that’s natural, safe, and MD approved.

The Secret Behind Turbobo

Turbobo works in many ways just like a weighted blanket…

Studies show that deep pressure (like hugs or gentle weight) activates the parasympathetic nervous system – the body’s “calm down” mode.

It helps lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and increases seratonin and dopamine – the feel-good chemicals that help us:

  • Relax and sleep better
  • Calm our heart rate and negative thoughts
  • Alleviate anxiety

Turbobo: Crushing anxiety one hug at a time.

Created With Love by Someone Who Gets It

“Our mission is to change the statistics surrounding anxiety– one pup at a time!.” – Ryan Miele, Founder

Turbobo was created by Ryan Miele, a 20-year-old who saw how anxiety impacted his friends and wanted to help.

Inspired by his own dog Turbo, Ryan wanted to create a pup you could hug when life felt overwhelming.

From hand-assembling each puppy in his garage to consulting with healthcare professionals, educators, and child psychologists, Ryan built Turbobo to be more than a toy — he built it to be a tool.

He spent months researching anxiety, interviewing families, and working closely with experts to understand what actually helps — and why. The result is a weighted companion designed to calm the nervous system, offer sensory relief, and provide comfort when it’s needed most.

Soft enough to hold onto. Heavy enough to ground you. Designed to make hard days a little more bearable.

Testimonials from real families

Turbobo has been a game-changer for bedtime. My son used to take over an hour to fall asleep – now he’s out in 15 minutes, cuddling his pup. Total lifesaver.
Amanda T.
We’ve tried therapy, fidgets, calming music… nothing helped like Turbobo. It’s like he knows when my daughter’s anxious. She doesn’t go anywhere without him now.
James R.
The moment my 6-year-old hugged Turbobo, I saw her shoulders drop. She said, “He makes my heart feel quiet.” That’s everything to me.
Melissa K.
Our morning routine used to be tears and panic. Now my son carries Turbobo in his backpack and tells me “he’s got backup.” It’s brought us peace we didn’t expect.
Laura S.
I was skeptical, but Turbobo has truly helped. My daughter says the weight makes her “feel safe like a big hug.” I’ve already ordered a second one for travel.
Brian D.
Turbobo isn’t just a toy – he’s become a part of our family. My anxious little guy finally has something that helps him feel calm and in control.
