Why Do Senior Dogs Need Special Chew Toys?
As dogs grow older, their teeth and gums become more delicate. Hard plastic or nylon chews, while long-lasting, can be too tough and cause dental fractures, bleeding gums, or discomfort. That’s why veterinarians and dog behaviorists recommend using softer, more forgiving dog chew toys for seniors.
Not only does chewing help with stress relief and boredom, it also promotes dental hygiene—but only if the toy is safe and suited to their age.
BetterBone: Natural, Non-Toxic Chew Toys for Older Dogs
Unlike traditional synthetic chews, BetterBone is made from cellulose and natural vegetable oils—two plant-based, food-grade, and hypoallergenic ingredients. These materials are not only safe for your dog to chew, but they’re also free from:
- Nylon
- BPA
- PFAS
- Artificial colors and flavors
- Petroleum-based plastics
This makes BetterBone one of the most if not potentially THE MOST, eco-friendly dog chew toys available today—and especially beneficial for senior dogs with sensitive teeth or allergies.
BetterBone SOFT: The Best Gentle Chew Toy for Older Dogs
BetterBone SOFT is engineered to be 40% softer than nylon, making it ideal for:
- Senior dogs with weakened or missing teeth
- Dogs recovering from dental procedures
- Puppies or gentle chewers
Its trident design features ridges, dental nubs, and smooth ends to support gum massage and tartar removal, promoting oral hygiene without harming their teeth.
BetterBone MEDIUM: For Senior Dogs Who Still Love to Chew
Not all older dogs need ultra-soft chews. If your dog still enjoys chewing but has moderate sensitivity, BetterBone MEDIUM is a perfect balance. It’s more durable than the SOFT version but still easier on and for aging teeth. It also features the same dental-cleaning trident shape and is ideal for:
- Dogs transitioning out of aggressive chewing
- Seniors with partial dental strength
