Kelvin Koala is a koala-shaped eco leather dog toy from Miro & Makauri — made for interactive play with a genuine leather outer, natural coconut-fibre filling, and vegetable dyes. No squeaker, no synthetic stuffing, no plastic components. At 26 × 13cm it's a more compact toy than the Miro & Makauri Scottie Squid — better suited to smaller dogs, indoor play, or dogs who prefer a toy they can carry rather than a long tug format.

Made by Miro & Makauri. Natural materials throughout. Interactive tug, toss, and carry toy.

  • Genuine leather outer: Durable, natural, and resistant to the pulling and twisting of tug play. Leather has a satisfying texture dogs engage with and a natural scent that holds interest over time. The leather outer also means the toy holds its shape better under play than fabric alternatives.
  • 100% natural coconut-fibre filling: No synthetic wadding — when the toy eventually gets opened, what comes out is natural coconut husk fibre rather than polyester stuffing. The fibre itself is natural and non-toxic if ingested in small quantities during normal play, though this toy isn't designed to be eaten.
  • Vegetable dyes: Colour applied using vegetable-based dyes rather than industrial chemical dyes — relevant for dogs that mouth their toys regularly and therefore ingest small amounts of whatever is on the surface.
  • No squeaker: Deliberately excluded. Squeakers fail and can be swallowed; they also create a level of auditory excitement that isn't always desirable. Kelvin Koala's appeal comes from its shape, texture, and the interaction with the owner — not a noise component.
  • Compact 26 × 13cm size: More practical than longer tug formats for indoor play, smaller dogs, or dogs that prefer to carry and shake a toy rather than engage in extended two-person tug. Also a practical size for a treat bag or walking pack as a portable reward toy.
  • Natural material variation: As a genuine leather product coloured with vegetable dyes, colour and texture will vary slightly between batches — a characteristic of natural materials rather than a defect.

Play suggestions

Tug, toss and retrieve, carry games, or as a high-value reward toy during training breaks. The compact size makes it easy to keep in a pocket or bag for use as an occasional play reward on walks.

Care and safety

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry away from direct heat — do not machine wash, tumble dry, or soak. Always supervise play and remove the toy if damaged or if parts become loose. Not designed for dogs that systematically destroy toys; rotate with more durable options if needed.

Common questions

How does this compare to the Miro & Makauri Scottie Squid?
Same brand, same natural materials approach, different character and format. Scottie Squid is a longer toy at 40cm with jute rope detailing alongside the leather — designed as a tug toy with multiple grip points. Kelvin Koala is more compact at 26 × 13cm with a koala character shape — better for dogs that prefer to carry and shake, smaller dogs, or indoor play. Both use genuine leather, coconut-fibre filling, and vegetable dyes with no squeaker. If your dog loves tug games with plenty of length to work with, Scottie Squid. If they prefer a toy they can carry and toss, Kelvin Koala.
Is this suitable for puppies?
Yes for supervised play. The natural materials and vegetable dyes are a safer choice than synthetic toys for dogs that mouth everything, and the compact size suits medium and smaller breeds well from puppyhood. The absence of a squeaker means there's no noise part to work free and swallow. As with all toys, supervise and replace when significantly worn.
Can my dog chew it as well as play with it?
Light chewing is fine — leather withstands moderate mouthing well. This isn't an indestructible chew toy and isn't designed for dogs that systematically work through toys; it's built for interactive play and moderate independent mouthing. Dogs that destroy toys quickly should have shorter supervised sessions. For dedicated power chewers, a natural rubber or thick nylon chew would be a better choice alongside this toy.
Where is it made?
Kelvin Koala is manufactured in China. The materials — genuine leather, natural coconut fibre, vegetable dyes — are specified and sourced by Miro & Makauri as part of their eco-conscious product range. Manufacturing location and material sourcing are separate considerations; Miro & Makauri's positioning around natural, responsibly sourced materials applies to the specification regardless of where the toy is assembled.
