Full details
The Big Squij Dachshund by Keycraft is an oversized, tactile squeeze toy designed for dog enthusiasts, fidgeters, and anyone seeking a calming sensory experience. Its defining benefit is the ultra-soft, slow-rise material that provides satisfying resistance and stress relief, though users should be aware that the material is a magnet for dust and lint, requiring occasional cleaning to maintain its texture.

FAQs
Is the material toxic?
The Big Squij Dachshund is made from safety-tested materials; however, it is not intended for ingestion.
Does it lose its squishiness over time?
With normal use, the slow-rise properties will remain consistent for a long period, though significant surface wear can occur with heavy, improper handling.
Can I use it as a pillow?
No, this is a handheld fidget toy and is not designed to support the weight of a head or provide ergonomic comfort.
What should I do if it gets sticky?
If the surface loses its smooth finish, a light dusting of cornstarch can help restore the matte, non-sticky feel.
Is this toy suitable for very young children?
It is recommended for older children and adults due to the risk of the material being bitten or torn into small pieces.
Troubleshooting
The surface has become sticky or dusty.
Wash the toy with water and a tiny amount of mild dish soap, then pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
The toy has developed a small tear.
Avoid further stretching in that area. The toy is designed for gentle squeezing; high-stress movements near tears will cause further damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This toy requires no assembly and is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To keep your Dachshund in peak condition, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV light may degrade the material over time. If the toy becomes soiled or picks up lint, gently wash it with lukewarm water and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these will damage the soft surface. Keep away from pets and small children who might attempt to bite or ingest the material.
