Using your Baby Paws Cocker Spaniel is super easy. You can carry it around in the cute swaddle bag wherever you go. When you want to have some fun, take it out of the blanket and remove the dummy to see it 'wake up'. For sleep time, just give the dummy back, and it'll 'fall asleep'. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid damaging its soft and fluffy body. If it gets dirty, you can gently spot - clean it with a mild detergent. Remember, this toy is for kids 18 months and up, so make sure to supervise younger children to prevent any choking hazards.
