Desmond the Duck is made from four layers of jute twin stitched over recycled cotton and jute rope, a toy (and a friend) for you and your dog. A great toy for throwing, dogs can have hours of fun with Desmond. The toy is made from 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. Jute is 100% biodegradable. The suede is a by-product and ensures this material is not wasted.
