Why I Use OEKO-TEX® Certified Materials in Wiggly Tails Products

When I started Wiggly Tails my goal was simple: to create handmade accessories and toys that I’d feel good giving to my own pets. As an owner of two sausage dogs and lifelong animal lover, I know how much love and care we put into choosing what’s best for our furry family members. That’s why I make Wiggly Tails products with OEKO-TEX® certified materials.

What’s So Special About OEKO-TEX®?

OEKO-TEX® certification means that every part of the fabric — from the threads to the dyes — has been tested for harmful substances. It goes beyond basic safety regulations and checks for over 100 toxic chemicals, including things like pesticides, heavy metals, and formaldehyde.

When you see STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® label, it means the material is non-toxic and safe — not just for us humans, but for our pets too.

When I create a new Wiggly Tails toy or accessory, I think about how it will be loved, played with, and maybe even dragged around the house. Knowing it’s made from safe, OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics and yarns gives me peace of mind — and I hope it gives you the same.

Better for the Planet, Too

It’s not just about safety; it’s about responsibility. Many OEKO-TEX® certified materials are made using eco-friendly practices that reduce water usage, limit emissions, and keep the planet a little happier. That means your pet’s favorite toy or bandana is also a kinder choice for the environment.

Handmade = Heartmade

Every Wiggly Tails piece is handmade by me, with real love and attention to detail. I’m not a factory — I’m a dog lover who cares deeply about what goes into the things our pets use every day. Choosing OEKO-TEX® certified materials is just one more way I make sure every item is crafted with care, inside and out.

Thanks for supporting Wiggly Tails and choosing products that are safe, stylish, and made with heart. Here’s to wagging tails, happy purrs!
