What does Baby Paws actually do?

It is a plush puppy that makes sounds and reacts when your child touches or pets it. It does not walk, fetch or follow commands.

Does it need batteries?

Yes. The sound features run on batteries, so keep spares on hand for long play sessions.

It suits toddlers and preschoolers because it is soft and simple to use. Supervise very young children around the battery compartment.

Robotic pets walk, react to gestures and cost more. Baby Paws is a cuddly plush with sound responses, aimed at younger children.

The electronics inside mean it should be spot cleaned rather than machine washed. Check the care label before cleaning.

The plush puppy itself, with batteries typically included for demo use. A leash or brush is not part of the set.
