Why dogs love Paul
Dogs adore toys that smell and feel real. The buffalo leather carries a subtle, natural aroma that excites their senses, while the coconut fibre adds texture for satisfying chewing. This unique combination keeps your pup engaged, reduces boredom, and supports dental health by gently polishing teeth with every bite.
Eco credentials that matter
Every Paul the Platypus helps cut down on synthetic waste. The buffalo leather and coconut fibre used in his construction are entirely biodegradable and sustainably sourced. Once Paul’s play days are over, you can place him in your garden compost – he’ll safely return to the earth within a few decades. Even the fibre inside can be mixed into soil or used as mulch for houseplants.
How to use and care for Paul
- Introduce slowly: Show Paul to your dog and let them sniff the natural leather scent to build interest.
- Play together: Use Paul for gentle fetch or tug games in a safe space to strengthen your bond.
- Allow independent chewing: Let your dog chew under supervision – the texture cleans teeth while reducing boredom.
- Clean naturally: Wipe with a damp cloth and air-dry in the shade. Avoid soaking to preserve the leather.
