Moose Toys' Scruff-a-Luv Cutie Cuts are interactive plush pet animals that can be given complete salon makeovers with kid-safe tools that look and work like real clippers. The plush toys start out with messy, matted coats that need a lot of love and attention but kids can take on the role of a dog groomer and transform their plush companion into a brand-new pet by shampooing, drying and grooming, as well as adding the finishing touches with accessories.
Like many toys for kids that offer an element of surprise, these ones give kids the chance to discover what breed a dog is underneath a tangle of fur. The products are packaged in boxes that turn into pop-up salons, so that kids can complete the salon makeover experience with the right setting.
