Other Dog Squishmallows 

If you like Barb the Dog, here are other dog Squishmallows you can add to your collection. 

Andres 

Andres is a brown sheltie from the Dog Squad. If you like silly jokes, you’ll definitely get along with him! He loves practical jokes and making people laugh. He doesn’t need to open his mouth to get you cracking, though — just seeing his triangular ears flop around is enough to make anyone giggle.

Mateo 

Here’s our second entry from the Dog Squad: Mateo the Black Rottweiler may look intimidating, but he’s anything but! He is famous for spreading hugs and smiles wherever he goes, which makes perfect sense if you’d like him as a Squishmallow cuddle buddy! 

Chloeyana 

Chloeyana the Dog hails from the Valentine Squad, which can also be seen with the heart patch over her chest. She’s full of loving energy and loves naps! If she had it her way, she would nap all day and only wake up when it was time to play. This makes her the perfect nighttime companion if you ask us.

Awards

Care Instructions 

According to the official Squishmallows website, gentle spot treatment is the best way to care for Barb the Dog. However, if you plan to bring her everywhere (which you probably will!), you will need something more powerful to ensure she’s clean. 

The quality materials the Squishmallows are made from make them machine-wash friendly. Put Barb inside a roomy pillowcase and set the cycle to cool and gentle. You can also run her alongside other beddings if you have them available. 

Once that’s done, tumble dry her on low and gentle (not hot), so she gets dry and ready for cuddling faster. You can also air-dry her if you find that more preferable. Fluff her with your fingers back to her original shape once she’s nice and dry. Learn the proper way to wash your Squishmallow here.
