What Are Felt Pet Toys?

Felt pet toys are made from wool felt, which is created by matting or pressing natural wool fibers together. This can be done using hot water and friction or by using special needles, a method known as needle felting. The result is a durable yet soft material that can be shaped into various fun designs.

Felt toys are especially popular because they are:

  • Made from 100% natural wool

  • Handcrafted by skilled artisans

  • Free from harmful chemicals or synthetic materials

  • Biodegradable and eco-friendly

  • Gentle on teeth and paws

Felt toys are often shaped like animals, balls, bones, or abstract designs. They are light and easy to carry, making them suitable for pets of all sizes and ages.
