Wash, dry and reveal

The scruff rinses out in warm soapy water. A towel, a little warm air and the comb bring the fluff back.

Four ways to rescue

Rescue stories from families

Words from shoppers who have already had their bath day, quoted as written on our product listings.

Wholesome fun for the kids!

5 stars for the experience alone. My daughter loved it and now her sister wants one too. She has had it a couple weeks now and still carries it everywhere with her so I say its a win for sure! I do wish it was a little softer fur but the stuffy is good quality. 👍 we did not sit there and blow dry it because that would have taken forever but we put it in the dryer and they loved watching her dry through the dryer door!

Fun surprise factor, great reaction from my daughter

The mystery/reveal aspect made this way more exciting than a regular plush — she loved not knowing which pet she’d get until it “grew” out of the packaging. Plush quality is soft and well-made, not flimsy like some surprise toy lines can be. Good size for a kid to actually play with and carry around, not just display. The whole unboxing experience kept her entertained way longer than a standard toy would, and she’s continued playing with it well after the initial surprise wore off, which isn’t always the case with novelty toys. Great option for a birthday or just a fun surprise gift — the reveal moment alone made it worth it.

Fun

It was a little smaller than expected, but she absolutely loved it. It was nicely made, and my great granddaughter plays with it a lot. A nice toy for four year-old.

Cute gift

My niece loved it. I washed it with some dish soap. Put in the dryer until it was mostly dry and used the brush included to fluff it up. I’ll let it finish air drying and doing one more brush through. Overall, a cute present.

I don’t get it but…

My younger daughter loves these things! I don’t understand it but it makes her happy. They’re just a stuffed animal that was made to look unrecognizable (the animal type) and you have to “love it” bathe it wash it brush it to make it recognizable and know what you got. Cute idea I guess lol but as long as she’s happy that’s all that matters. She’s 9 and has loved these for years.

Different & fun

My daughter liked having to wash them and see which one she got. She got the puppy and was happy. Its a cool, different toy.

Things parents ask us

What is a ScruffaLuvs pet?

A ScruffaLuvs pet is a plush animal that we send out as a matted, scruffy ball of fur. Washing it rinses the scruff away and reveals which pet it is. After drying and brushing it becomes a soft, fluffy plush to keep.

Do you know which pet you will get?

Not exactly. The carrier shows the family, such as Pet Scruffs, Unicorn Scruffs or a Mom & Baby set, and sometimes the fur colour. Which animal is inside, or how many babies, stays a surprise until the wash.

How long does a ScruffaLuvs take to dry?

Thick fur holds a lot of water, so plan for drying time. Squeeze it well in a towel, use a hair dryer on a low setting with an adult, and let it air dry fully before bedtime cuddles.

Can you do the reveal more than once?

The reveal is a one-time moment, because the scruffy coating washes out for good. The grooming, styling and pretend pet care carry on for as long as the comb survives.

A parent's guide to ScruffaLuvs rescue pets

If a ScruffaLuvs carrier is on a wish list and you are wondering what is actually inside, this is the short version from us, the people who pack them.

What exactly is a ScruffaLuvs?

A ScruffaLuvs is a mystery plush pet that we send out looking its worst on purpose. The fur is matted into a tight, scruffy ball, so nobody can tell which animal it is. Your child rescues it with a bath, and the stuffed animal that appears is theirs to dry, brush, name and keep. It is a surprise reveal toy and a soft plush pet in one box.

How does the rescue work?

  1. Wash. Warm water, a little mild soap, and plenty of rubbing until the stiff coating rinses away and the water runs clear.
  2. Dry. Squeeze the fur in a towel, then use a hair dryer on a low setting with an adult, or leave the pet somewhere airy.
  3. Brush. Comb the coat in small sections until it stands up fluffy.
  4. Name. Add the collar, fill in the adoption certificate and welcome a Fluffy Friend Furever.

What is in the carrier?

Every pack holds one mystery plush (or a mom and her baby), a grooming comb, an adoption certificate and the deluxe pet carrier itself, which becomes the pet's bed afterwards. Pet Scruffs add a collar. Surprise Pets add a collar and a clip. Mom & Baby Scruffs add collars and a feeding bottle.

Mom & BabyA dachshund or retriever mom with one baby or twinsComb, collars, feeding bottleMom 8.3 in, baby 4.3 in$24.99
Unicorn ScruffsOne of four pastel unicornsFeather combAbout 7.5 in$19.97

How big are they, and what age are they for?

Single pets stand about 7.5 in (19 cm) tall once they are dry. In a family pack mom is about 8.3 in (21 cm) and each baby about 4.3 in (11 cm). Our Unicorn Scruffs listing suggests ages 6 to 8, and families in our reviews mention children from four to nine. Smaller kids can do the washing and brushing, with a grown-up at the sink and in charge of the hair dryer.

How do I keep the fur soft afterwards?

Dry the plush all the way through before it goes to bed, because thick fur holds water inside. Brush with the comb from the tips towards the body, a little at a time. If a patch still feels stiff, a second wash in warm soapy water usually clears it.

Where can I buy ScruffaLuvs?
