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.
