Meet the Maker
Hi, I’m Debbie — the founder and maker behind Dogtastic Toys.
What started as Dogtastic Bandanas, gradually evolved into something I became truly passionate about: creating handmade enrichment toys that genuinely benefit pets.
Over time, I found myself drawn more and more towards products that did more than just look good. I wanted to create toys that help reduce boredom, ease stress and encourage natural behaviours like sniffing, foraging and interactive play.
Every snuffle mat, snuffle ball and fleece tug toy is handmade by me in the UK in small batches using dog-safe materials. I take pride in creating products that are colourful, durable and designed for safe, supervised enrichment.
One of my proudest moments so far has been having our handmade snuffle mats featured on ITV’s This Morning — a huge milestone for a small business and a reminder of how much interest there is in enrichment-based play.
At the heart of Dogtastic Toys is a simple belief — pets deserve more than just toys. They deserve engagement, stimulation and products made with real care.
