FurReal creates interactive robotic plush pets that move, sound, and respond to touch, engaging children in lifelike nurturing play.
FurReal (often stylized as furReal) is a brand of robotic pets originally created by Hasbro and known for its lifelike interactive plush toys. The brand simulates the behavior of real animals through advanced sensors, animatronics, and sound effects. From domestic pets like puppies and kittens to exotic creatures such as tigers, unicorns, and dinosaurs, FurReal pets are designed to engage children in immersive, nurturing role-play.
These electronic companions respond to touch, motion, and voice commands, offering blinking eyes, moving heads, and realistic vocalizations. Many models feature specific play modes, including feeding, grooming, and walking, encouraging emotional bonding and responsibility in young owners. The product line ranges from small, portable pets to large, intricate animatronics like Roarin' Tyler the Tiger and StarLily the Magical Unicorn.

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Most FurReal pets are surface clean only. Gently brush the fur with a clean cloth or soft brush, and wipe off dirt immediately with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use detergent, stain removers, or submerge the toy in water.
Ensure the power switch is set to 'ON' rather than 'TRY ME' or 'DEMO'. If the toy is still unresponsive, it may be in sleep mode (try petting or feeding it) or requires fresh batteries.
The battery compartment is typically hidden under a Velcro flap on the pet's belly, back, or underside. You will usually need a Phillips/cross-head screwdriver to open it.
Battery requirements vary by model (commonly 4 AA or C alkaline batteries). Always refer to your specific user guide or the markings inside the battery compartment.
If the pet malfunctions or acts erratically, turn the switch to OFF for a few seconds, then back to ON. For a full reset, remove the batteries for several minutes before reinserting them.
