Ever wondered how an Aurora Paws toy goes from a simple idea to your dog’s new favourite? Spoiler: it’s not as simple as it looks. Every toy we create is the result of months of thought, testing, and refinement — all to make sure it’s just right.
Step 1: The Idea
Every design starts the same way — with a sketch. Sometimes it’s inspired by:
British wildlife 🐝
Seasonal ideas 🎄
Customer suggestions 💡
Or just something that makes us smile
Because if it makes us smile, chances are it’ll make you smile too.
Step 2: Designing for Purpose
We don’t just design for looks — we design for:
Durability
Safety
Play style
This is where we decide:
Tough compacted cotton core?
Natural jute filling?
Rope for interactive play?
Every detail matters.
Step 3: Sampling & Testing
This is where the real work begins. We go through multiple samples — tweaking:
Shape
Size
Materials
Stitching
And of course… handing it over to our in-house testers 🐶. If they can’t destroy it (or absolutely love it), we know we’re onto something.

Step 4: Refining the Details
Before production, we fine-tune:
Colours
Features
Manufacturing practicality
Because eco toys need to be not just beautiful — but realistically manufacturable using natural materials.
Step 5: Bringing It to Life
After 3–6 months of development, the final design is ready. And that’s when your dog finally gets to enjoy the finished product.
More Than Just a Toy
Every Aurora Paws toy tells a story. From Terry the T-Rex, created in memory of Richard’s dad, to our British-inspired designs that celebrate the world around us, these aren’t just toys — they’re little pieces of our journey.
