The SPARROW Pet throw ball is made from 100% natural, high-quality hemp. Unlike cotton or synthetic toys, hemp fibers decompose completely. This makes the toys much safer for all dogs.
The toss ball is ideal for fetch, tug-of-war, or simply for chewing. The toy promotes health, cleans teeth, and supports mental development.
Hemp is very eco-friendly
Unlike cotton, hemp is extremely eco-friendly and sustainable. Hemp can grow healthily without the use of any pesticides. In addition, hemp requires only about half the amount of water compared to cotton. Here are a few facts:
Cotton: 9.7 liters of water! That’s how much it takes to produce one kilogram of cotton fibers. That’s a lot! The countries that are the main producers of cotton are losing their freshwater reserves and are heading toward desertification. Furthermore, the use of pesticides is essential for producing uncontaminated cotton fibers, which in turn can pose a danger to our dogs, as these chemicals may also be present in their toys. Cotton is therefore a complete failure when it comes to environmental sustainability.
Hemp: Hemp requires just under a quarter of the water (2.7 liters) to produce one kilogram of hemp fibers. Hemp grows quickly and is ready for fiber production in a much shorter time than cotton. Furthermore, hemp produces 200–250% more fiber than cotton grown on the same area of land. And since hemp is a self-sustaining plant, no pesticides are required, making it an absolutely eco-friendly alternative to cotton—and, in our case, to dog toys.
IMPORTANT: Hemp toys are a natural and safe alternative to dog toys made from synthetic materials. Synthetic toys can seriously injure your dog if swallowed. Our hemp toys break down naturally, and in most cases, the hemp fibers even dissolve completely. This does not mean they should be eaten like a treat or left with a dog unsupervised. They are intended for anyone looking for a safer alternative to synthetic dog toys. Safer does not mean a dog cannot be allergic to the material.
