What makes Funky Pup special
Materials & Construction
We craft every Needoh Funky Pup with a soft thermoplastic rubber exterior that feels smooth and pleasant to the touch. Inside, our proprietary non-toxic dough-like filling creates that signature satisfying squish you expect from the NeeDoh family.
The outer skin is engineered to withstand thousands of squeezes while maintaining its integrity. We rigorously test each design to ensure the seams hold strong during stretching and manipulation. The filling compound is hypoallergenic and completely safe for children ages three and older, meeting all U.S. safety standards for toys.
How to Use Your Funky Pup
Using your Needoh Funky Pup is simple and intuitive. Hold the pup in one or both hands and squeeze gently to feel the satisfying give of the dough-like filling. You can stretch the ears, compress the body, or roll it between your palms.
Many people find that rhythmic squeezing helps them focus during meetings, study sessions, or phone calls. Others prefer to keep their Funky Pup on their desk as a quick stress-relief tool throughout the day. There’s no wrong way to enjoy this tactile fidget companion—just follow what feels good to you.
Care & Cleaning Instructions
Keeping Your Pup Fresh
To clean your Needoh Funky Pup, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid submerging the toy in water or placing it in the washing machine, as excess moisture can compromise the filling over time.
If the surface picks up dust or lint, a quick rinse under running water followed by air drying works perfectly. Store your Funky Pup away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve the material’s flexibility and color vibrancy. With basic care, your squishy pup will provide months of stress-relieving squishes.
