FurReal Friends Get Up & GoGo My Walkin’ Pup Pet #FMEGifts14
As a little girl I always wanted a puppy. “Puppy” was always right at the top of my Christmas List but my parents didn’t want to deal with a pet on top of 3 young children. Something I completely understand at this point! Like most children, Keira loves animals and goes crazy when she sees people out walking their dogs.
My parents solution to this was of course to give me the next best thing – a GoGo My Walkin’ Pup and boy did I ever love that puppy!
Fast forward back to my own parenthood – over 20 years later – faced with a similar challenge and a FurReal Friends Get Up & GoGo My Walkin’ Pup Pet is my solution. Of course over the past 20+ years there have been big changes and improvements to this super cute animatronic toy!
You can take your Get Up & GoGo My Walkin’ Pup Pet for a walk by pressing and holding the button on her leash controller. She is also happy to sit for you when you pet her head. She barks back at you when you talk to her, her tail wags and she can even tilt her head in a sweet display of personality.
Keira literally squealed with delight when she first saw the puppy. I am almost certain she thought it was real at first but If that is the case she showed no disappointment in discovering that the Get Up & GoGo My Walkin’ Pup Pet is a toy. Keira is 2 months shy of her 3rd birthday so while the toy is rated for 4-6 years, she has no issues operating the Get Up & GoGo My Walkin’ Pup Pet. It’s adorable watching her pet, play and walk her new puppy, she really does love it and a month later still plays with her!
I love how soft and cuddly Get Up & GoGo My Walkin’ Pup Pet is. Her tilted head and little sounds make her absolutely adorable. As a parent I like that while she does bark and yip it is fairly quiet, especially compared to a real dog.
My only dislikes as a parent is that you can only control the puppy to walk straight and forward. This means that Keira has to stop and pick her up to go in the direction she wants. This isn’t a problem for her in the least, but it could make playing inside hard unless you have the space, such as a hallway.
There is also a free app you can you to interact with the Get Up & GoGo My Walkin’ Pup that really makes this toy extra fun.
Sit her beside you, face the mobile device toward her, and watch her interact with the app activities you play! Get Up & GoGo, My Walkin’ Pup pet will respond to the bubbles and hair dryer in one of the app activities. In the feeding app activity, she’ll let you know what treats she likes and doesn’t like. There are many app activities to play with her in a variety of ways! The FurReal Friends app is also a great way to meet other FurReal Friends pets, including Cuddles, My Giggly Monkey, Pom Pom, My Baby Panda, and Butterscotch, My Walkin’ Pony. The seven featured pet friends will even perform for you in their FurReal Friends app band!
The app is fun and very interactive. I love that it is completely free, and free of ads. There is no in-app purchases she can make which is kind of important if I am going to let Keira play with the app alone.
The FurReal Friends Get Up & GoGo My Walkin’ Pup Pet is like a real pet in many ways and Keira sure treats her like one too! She loves taking her for walks up and down our main hallway through the house, she loves feeding her through the app. It makes for a great “real pet” substitute and definitely recommend it for any children who just need to have a puppy!

What a cute little toy for a cute little girl, this is definitely on my list for one of the grandkids
How adorable. If you can’t have a real dog, this is a very close second.
That is adorable! My boys would love one of those.
This is totally on my Little One’s wish list. They saw it on the shelf and went crazy for it. It is the cutest thing ever…
I can recall having a similar toy when i was little and loving it. Might be a good gift for this christmas.
My daughters really want one of these. I think they’re so cute! I hope to get them both one this year for Christmas.
Apparently FurReal pets can interact with each other, so that would be a lot of fun!
My daughter has been asking for this toy after she saw it on a t.v. commercial. Maybe for Christmas.
We should have looked into this kind of pet before buying a real dog 🙂 What a fun and interactive toy!
That is so adorable! I bet my daughter would love it. I’ll have to keep this in mind for Christmas this year.
Cute! Your daughter obviously loves her puppy. ♥ My 2.5 year old would, too, but her daddy’s nixed noisy toys this year. But that’s okay – she talks for all of her stuffed animals and dolls, anyway! #lol
My sister just got one of these for her granddaughter. They’re really cute. Do they work well on carpet?
Yes! It works well on both the low pile area rug in our sitting room as well as the medium pile rug in the basement rec room. I don’t notice a difference between how well it walks on carpet and hard floor.
Awwww….What a cutie! She is really enjoying her furreal pup! My little niece would love this! I had a similar one when I was younger, but it wasn’t as cute as this one.
What an adorable toy puppy! Perfect for any young puppy lover :))
Aw, how cute! I had the same wishlist when I was dating my husband. I wanted a dog so bad! So he got me a toy dog, but all it did was walk and pee. This is much cooler!
I love this idea! My kids always wanted a puppy as well and I think this is a great way to have a “puppy” 🙂
Aweee what a cute puppy! I know a certain little girl who would love this for Christmas this year 😉
This is such a great gift for someone that has been wanting a pet. I know my son wants a puppy so desperately so we might get him this to start first.
My kids LOVE these! They are so cute and fun, love the little leash!
My daughter just pointed this in the Walmart Mailer this am when we talking about her birthday. I think I am going to have to make trip to the store.
My toddler twins are really into dogs right now. They would have a hayday with this!
Gotta love puppies that don’t need to be fed OR to go outside for the potty! How cute is this doggy too!
That’s such a cute toy!
This is really cute, and my 7 year old is begging for one for Christmas. It seems a little pricey to me, I just wonder if she would really play with it. Cheaper than a real puppy I guess 🙂
Not gonna lie….never was a fan of toys like this, but I have a feeling all bets are off when my girl starts talking and asks for one lol.
I should stock up on batteries now.
What a cute toy! I am sure it will be on a few Christmas lists this year. Keira looks so happy playing with her puppy!
This would be perfect for my one granddaughter
What a cute little toy,seen them in the Walmart flyer,good price
My grandson would love one of those.
too funny 3 of my granddaughters have this on their Santa list
I picked up one at walmart today they are so cute
I saw this at Toys R Us and almost got this for my niece! It looks like a lot of fun!
