Why Coconut Husk Beats Hemp and Cotton for Your Pet’s Playtime

At Freya & Dax, we believe in raising the standard for what our pets play with — and what we leave behind for the planet. While hemp and cotton are often labeled as “natural,” our coconut husk toys go a step further in sustainability, durability, and safety.

Here’s why coconut husk comes out on top:

🌴 1. Waste-Reducing & Truly Sustainable

Coconut husk is an agricultural byproduct — meaning we repurpose what would otherwise be discarded. Hemp and cotton, while natural, require large-scale farming, water, and land resources. Coconut husk turns waste into something wonderful.

🐾 2. Naturally Tidy, With a Bit of Shedding

Coconut fiber is coarse and satisfying for chewing — but because it’s untreated and all-natural, some fraying is normal. Unlike over-processed cotton or stiff hemp, our toys don’t hide behind synthetic blends. They’re honest, wholesome, and fun — even if they don’t last forever.

🌿 3. 100% Plastic-Free 

Our toys contain zero synthetic additives, or plastics. Coconut husk is safe to gnaw and gentle on teeth. With Freya & Dax, what you see is what you get: pure, natural fun.

🧼 4. Easy to Shake Off, Not Soak Up

Coconut husk dries faster and doesn't absorb drool or dirt like cotton. That means less mess in your home and a fresher play experience for your pet.

❤️ 5. Every Toy Handcrafted with Love

Each Freya & Dax toy is artisan-made, not mass-produced. We care deeply about quality, function, and environmental impact — so your pet can play guilt-free.

Choose the toy that’s as kind to the earth as it is fun for your furry friend.
