Simply Fido makes super cute dog toys from organic cotton and natural dyes.
Their website lists some of the reasons to choose their unbleached, untreated organic pet toys:
“Organic dye process
We use only natural extracts from plants and minerals, such as gardenia seed, clove and chestnut bur, to dye our fibers.
Tactile
The fabric is naturally softer than regular cotton, due to improved soil fertility and harvesting methods.
Health
With SimplyFido™ toys, your pet’s toxicity and allergy levels are greatly reduced. Other products use pesticides and herbicides during cotton production, and chemical dyes during coloring, which can lead to allergies and sickness in pets.
Environmentally friendly
The production of organic products does not contribute to environmental pollutants and hazardous waste. Non-organic production process may cause damage to natural ecosystems including contamination in the water due to pesticide residue and chemicals.”

Unfortunately someone’s dog is going to end up seriously hurt from the lamb fido plush toy. I brought one home for my dog and she immediately found the velcro closure in the back and pulled out the squeek apparatus. I have had other (ring) fido toys in the past and they were great. Not very durable for a chewer but did not cause a threat. I was shocked to see that the closure was velcro and easy to open. Thankfully I pulled the squeek mechanism from her mouth before she choked. I’m going to do my best to alert the stores that sell these toys and the manufacturer. There are no cautions labeled on the tag either.
