Desmond the Duck is made from four layers of sustainable jute which is a natural plant fibre, stitched over recycled cotton and jute rope. A great toy for throwing, tugging and general chewing - dogs can have hours of fun with Desmond. The toy is made from 100% biodegradable, sustainable jute which is a natural plant fibre. It is tough and long lasting, and is produced without using any added compound that would harm or be released when chewed. The suede is a by-product and ensures this material is not wasted.
