The Pet Owner’s Guide to Dog Friendly wrapping paper - Gift Wrap

If you’re a pet lover who also cares about the planet, you’ve probably found yourself asking: Is wrapping paper safe for dogs? Whether it’s your curious pup sniffing presents or a cat diving head-first into the gift pile, not all wrapping paper is created equal.

At Party Fox, we believe your gift wrap should be as thoughtful as the present inside — safe for pets, kind to the Earth, and beautiful to unwrap. That’s where dog friendly wrapping paper comes in.



Meet Monty: Our Eco-Inspired Pup


Monty the Dog is our companion, sustainability mascot, and accidental quality control assistant. Like many dogs, he’s curious, enthusiastic, and more than happy to explore whatever’s left on the floor — especially gift wrap.

So when one of our lovely customers let us know their dog loved playing with our eco wrapping paper (and that it was easy for their arthritic hands to tear), it confirmed what Monty had already figured out: recyclable wrapping paper can be functional, feel-good, and full of joy — for pets and humans alike.

What Makes Wrapping Paper Dog Friendly?


Not all wrapping paper is safe. Traditional rolls often include plastic coatings, foil, glitter, or chemical dyes — none of which are ideal for paws or the planet.

Pair It with Biodegradable Parcel Tape


It’s not just the paper that matters. Finishing your gift with traditional sticky tape defeats the point — it can make otherwise recyclable paper end up in landfill.

Instead, pair your wrap with our best-selling Eco Fox Biodegradable Parcel Tape. It’s:

  • 100% plastic free

  • Compostable

  • Brown kraft paper finish – blends beautifully with our prints

  • Made with natural rubber adhesive

  • Less waste in landfill

  • Safer surfaces for pets and kids

  • A cleaner conscience during birthdays, holidays and celebrations

  • Support for small UK businesses and independent artists

Bonus: It’s Good for Pets & People Alike


That customer review? It truly stuck with us. Not only did their dog adore our wrapping paper, but they shared that the soft, tearable finish was gentle on their hands — a big plus for those with arthritis.




While we can’t offer medical advice, it’s just another reminder of how thoughtful design has more than one benefit. Who knew eco wrapping could be this versatile?



A Quick but important Note from Monty


Every dog is different, so it’s always a good idea to check with your vet before introducing new materials. Our eco wrapping paper is designed to be plastic free and recyclable — but like any packaging, it’s not made for chewing or eating.


Please avoid using string or twine, and keep pets supervised when unwrapping gifts. That way, everyone stays safe — and the tails keep wagging!
