Its key benefit is providing durable, eco-friendly entertainment through its multi-layered jute construction. A potential caveat is that while tough, it is not indestructible and may not be suitable for extremely aggressive chewers. This toy is crafted from four layers of jute, reinforced with twin stitching, and stuffed with recycled cotton and jute rope, making it a sustainable and biodegradable option that offers hours of fun for both throwing and chewing.

How do I clean the Desmond the Duck toy?

What are the dimensions of the toy?
