Shellby the Jute Turtle

Natural Jute Dog Toy

Meet Shellby, a slow-and-steady favourite made for happy, healthy playtime. This charming turtle toy is hand-crafted from natural jute fabric, with a sturdy denim patch shell that adds rugged texture and visual character. Soft polyfill stuffing gives Shellby a plush, huggable feel, while a natural jute lining keeps things gentle and breathable inside and out.

Why jute is a great choice for your dog:

• Gentle on gums and teeth: Jute's soft, natural fibres are kinder to your dog's mouth than plastic or synthetic materials, making Shellby comfortable for chewing and carrying alike.
• Naturally non-toxic: Free from harsh synthetic dyes and chemical treatments, jute is a safer option if your pup likes to nibble while they play.
• Eco-friendly and biodegradable: As a natural plant fibre, jute is kind to the planet as well as your pet, offering a more sustainable alternative to synthetic toy materials.
• Durable yet soft: Hand-cut jute panels combined with a denim shell give Shellby the strength to handle enthusiastic play while staying soft to the touch.
• Breathable comfort: The natural jute lining helps resist odour buildup, keeping playtime fresher for longer.

Every detail, from the hand-cut jute panels to the sturdy denim shell, is stitched with care for a chunky, well-loved feel. Shellby is handmade, pet-safe tested, and non-toxic, making him a wholesome, worry-free companion for tug, fetch, or cozy cuddles.

A Note on Safe Play

Our toys are handmade from natural materials, suede leather, jute coir, cotton rope, and felt, and are pet-safe tested and non-toxic. That said, no toy is indestructible, so we recommend:

• Supervising playtime, especially with new toys.
• Checking your toy regularly for wear and tear and retiring it once stitching loosens or filling becomes visible.
• Choosing toy size appropriately for your dog's breed and chew style, extra enthusiastic chewers may wear through natural materials faster than synthetic ones.
• Keeping toys away from very young puppies who may swallow small components (embroidered details, rope ends, etc.).

If your dog does ingest a piece of the toy, it's made from natural, biodegradable materials, but we'd still recommend checking in with your vet as a precaution.

Some of our dog toys are handmade. For these items, slight variations in size, shape, colour, and finish may occur between the product shown in images and the item you receive. These small differences are a natural result of the handmade process and are not considered defects.
