The dog didn't take long and arrived in 4 days just like expected. The dog came in amazing quality and not used at all. The packaging was secure and the inside packaging was super cute. My dog came with a free collar which is super nice of ESSA UK to give. I would recommend getting a dog from ESSA UK and I love the sinclair australian shepherd, I would recommend it, it's really cute, but if you don't like dogs with wiry fur (which covers most of the dog's body) you shouldn't get it. The face and legs however are very soft !

I have not got my order yet I think it will be sooooo cuteee I love ESSAs I have a border collie from Amazon but it’s 22cm so this golden retriever will be very cuteee
I love my new DOUGLAS dog ESSA he is my first one i will definitely get more! I called him saber I love him so much thank you!
Jake the salty dog is a lovely plush. Love his accessories and his story. . So unique. Beautifully made as are all Douglas plush. Had to purchase him as we've nicknamed our Cockapoo Alfie salty dog as he loves canoeing with us in the sea. My 2nd purchase from ESSA now. Amazing customer care. Beautifully packaged and super fast postage. Love the free gift also. Totally appropriate for Jake. Will definitely be buying from ESSA UK again. Highly recommend ESSA and Jake. Thanks a million. 😊
Douglas Bella is so much better than I thought, my daughter absolutely loves her, she has made a special bed in her room for her. Thank you so much we are very pleased with her
After buying the similarly priced and similarly sized black Labrador from Essa when this German shepherd arrived my daughter was very disappointed. It feels like half the stuffing is missing and it’s very poor quality. I did email Essa to raise my displeasure but they haven’t replied.
i love my finn so much <3 he is very soft and i like his wobbly body. the only thing that bothers me a bit that his head is kinda turned sideaways. but he arrived within like 1 week??? i will definitely buy more doggos soon!
Lovely
Absolutely amazing! I highly recommend! Super fast and free shipping in England. Came beautifully packaged with a free collar for the puppy too!
My daughter is in love with her ESSA it’s wonderful quality and she said “absolutely perfect” she comes everywhere with us now. Even the beach..
It's a good size teddy. My daughter chose it and is very pleased with it. I however think it is shockingly overpriced for what is essentially just a teddy.
I’ve ordered from Essa UK three times already and would definitely order again! Every order has been packaged extremely well and arrived in excellent condition. I also received a lovely freebie, which was such a nice surprise. There were no problems at all with the condition of the plush—it was absolutely perfect.💚
Bought it for my son for his birthday next month,but decided to give him early. He so happy with his new friend, take it anywhere.
My daughter loved him , great quality and customer service
My Jake salty dog got delivered today and I'm so happy with him and he's super soft and cuddly and love the free gifts you put in , and this company ships your parcel really quickly and fast delivery time as got mine in few days and this is my second purchase so would definitely recommend
Bought the Douglas ferret and I'm so happy with him I called him Otto and he's so soft and cuddly and the free collar gift was so sweet and kind and this company ships your parcel really quickly and fast delivery time as I got mine within a few days and would definitely recommend
My ESSA Jake salted dog got delivered today and I'm so happy with him he is so soft and fluffy and cuddly and thankyou for the free gifts loved them and I would definitely recommend this company if you want to get an ESSA
Daughters love them
This specific douglas is so cute and the shipping was really fast only two weeks eaven tho it usually takes months for douglas dogs to arrive for me. He is so soft and I recommend him im happy to say he found a spot with my other essa's ,thank you essa uk!
I bought this cat as a gift to myself after having lost our beloved British blue shorthair cat. It is so beautiful, quite lifelike and feels so soft. She has such a sweet face and when I touch her it does remind me of when we used to stroke and scratch our cat. The little free cravat that was in my parcel is so cute too and was a lovely surprise. Many Thanks Essa.
Daughter loves him and has named him atlas he is the second Douglas dog we have bought and she has just picked and ordered gear for him and already has her next ones picked out absolutely fantastic and so soft
Great service. Quality product, tracked delivery. Was a bit unsure where to order but would order again from here every time.
Perfect service and product as always.
Beautiful dog, great service as always. Bought as a birthday present and so pleased could get from the UK. Would definitely recommend ESSA, honestly great service and super fast delivery.
Super fast dispatch and delivery. The German Shepherd is gorgeous. Lovely quality.
Im very happy that I got my first essa. Regarts Alexia Maria Boboiciov
Really happy with it! Fast delivery, and well packaged. My Daughter loves it!
I got the German pointer (Wolfgang) and it was sooo cute! Very good quality ˖°𓇼⋆ ˖°𓇼⋆ ˖°𓇼⋆
My granddaughter is so very happy with her new friend. Ze called her “ Joy” 😊
My daughter loves her she has named her eclipse we’ve actually bought another essa since they are fantastic and so worth the money alone from the happiness my daughter has from having them but also fantastic to help her when she gets overwhelmed already have plans to buy more for her birthday and Christmas
SUPERRRR SOFT AND ADORABLE.
Beautifully and us helping a lot
I LOVEE THE PLUSH AND SHE IS SUPER DUPER SOFT
The quality of the toy is excellent. The purchase was delivered quickly. My daughter is happy with this toy.
Beautifully wrapped lovely extras my daughter was over the moon x
I am really impressed how fast the package was sent . On top whenever I asked about status I was getting an answer immediately. The package was beautiful packed ( perfect for unboxing) and we got a free gift :) My daughter is more than happy.
Very very soft dog is my new main essa the accessories comes sewn on so I cut them off this is my 10th Douglas dog. He is stuffed to perfection like usual very floppy and the designs are wonderful. I would 100% recommend. Even though I’m in Australia, the shipping was very fast though a little pricey. Overall I paid $150 for him which is pretty good because on eBay it was $500
An absolutely stunning plush... adore him.. he's so soft and cuddly with an adorable face. Beautifully made like all the Douglas dogs. Love his free collar too. Thank you 😊
My daughter is very happy with her E.S.S.A. Thank you so much! xxx
I am 11 years old and I love essa uk but the Delivery was a bit disappointing because it says 2-4 day delivery but my order came 7 days later. I ordered The Yonkers Yorkie douglas plush for my collection and I loved it sooo much and it even came with a free collar and it was a perfect fit. I recommend The yonkers yorkie too.
My granddaughter is delighted with her husky pup! It’s well made and really does lie the way huskies do! We appreciate the attention to detail!
Lots of choice and delivery was so fast. Well made items of an excellent quality
Lovely quality, super soft and fluffy. My daughter loves it.

Excellent my granddaughter loved it So soft and ergonomically perfect
So good like i named her willow you can namw it and its can be a boy or girl your choice!
Douglas is for my grandaughter bday so not received yet but I know she is going to absolutely love him , he's a lovely size , very soft , just what she described Thank you
A legit Douglas company that delivers to the UK and FREE! I cannot recommend this company highly enough. My daughter is obsessed with Douglas dogs yet they seem so hard to come by, sellers are never legit. ESSA UK is absolutely brilliant. Little gift which arrived with my daughter’s dog too. Im honestly so pleased we have now found a company we can order from. Although my bank balance may feel differently! Thank you so much. Super fast shipping too, and did I say FREE?
This plush is the best! She is not too small or too big, and she is a real Douglas dog.She has blue eyes, unlike the brown eyes most Douglas plush have.Her fur is really soft, but it feels kind of wiery but the white fur is softer.The fur and nose won't get damaged by pool water. 100000000000/10 plushie! she is 16 inches long and not a stiff Douglas dog, so she can be posed to sit and lie down.She is my new essa and i named her Tokyo!
I got this for my daughter for her birthday and she loves it she asked for an essa so I ordered this one as it’s the same type dog as the one her grandad has, she will be getting more at birthday and Christmas in the future
My daughter received her Douglas wispy sheltie today and its absolutely beautiful and the little bows and note were a wonderful surprise. I definitely recommend this company,very prompt delivery,easy ordering 10/10.
super easy to order of and very fast to ship out!
Amazing company I have bought many from them very fast delivery and very fast at getting them out and they are good prices and you get freebies also
essa uk is AMAZING I have bought from them 4 times!!! I WILL ALWAYS BUY FROM THEM! you may be wondering why? 1.fast delivery 2-5 days?!!! 2. Amazing packaging 3. And the cutest plushies!!
Amazing service, Douglas dog is perfect. Will be buying again from ESSA. Super fast. Great correspondence.

10/10 fast delivery beautifully packaged Nice soft fur and sold at affordable prices would definitely recommend
I bought chase the border collie, it was my dream essa from when i joined the essa community and after 2 years i made this dream of mine come true, i spend weeks if searching for a website that sells and shipps the plush to my country without charging over 80 euros, i live in switzerland so the shipping took 18 days, but it was defenetly worth the waiting and the price! Very good quality,the pacaging was litterally sooo cute! It came wrapped in blue silkpaper(idk if you say it like this in english), with a very cute thank you card and a FREE pink collar, i kept getting informed over where the package is over whatsapp/email, thank you so much essauk for this great service! Because of you i was able to make a dream come true!!!
