“ Before BetterBone, it was a daily game of 'What did my dog destroy today?' Since switching, my shoes are safe, my sanity’s intact, and Max is obsessed. Bonus: it doesn’t smell like a barn died in my living room like those bully sticks do.”

Description
Chewing is how dogs explore the world, relieve stress, and care for their teeth. But most toys? Made from materials that don’t belong anywhere near their bodies.
BetterBone is made from just two food-grade ingredients—no nylon, no rubber, no sketchy chemicals. It's hypoallergenic, tough as antlers, and built to satisfy your dog’s chewing instincts without putting their health at risk.
BetterBone is not a meal substitute.
What's BetterBone?
BetterBone is the healthier alternative to nylon and rubber chew toys.Crafted from just two food-grade ingredients, it’s tough enough for serious chewers and safe enough for daily play. No toxins, no weird chemicals — just a natural chew that actually belongs in your dog’s mouth.

How do I choose the right BetterBone?
BetterBone provides three densities to allow you find the right bone for your pup. We try to keep it simple.
Click here to see exactly how hard the bones are!
BetterBone SOFT- Perfect for teething puppies, older dogs (10 to 11 and older) , and light chewers. Expect small flakes to come off (this is by design and to protect teeth).
BetterBone MEDIUM- Perfect for a more durable yet gentler on teeth alternative to nylon or our hard bones. A balanced alternative to our soft and hard bones. Try this if your soft is not lasting long enough or your pup is getting big chunks off a soft bone, or if the hard is simply too hard for your pup to enjoy.
BetterBone HARD- is super durable and is meant for tough, aggressive, and strong chewers. Get this for your super chewer.

What are BetterBones made from?
Two simple all natural and sustainable food-grade ingredients sourced directly from the food-industry in Europe:
These ingredients are Cellulose and vegetable oil. This is the same cellulose found in parmesan cheese, breads, dressing, and thousands of other foods in your refrigerator right now!
That is all that is in a BetterBone. No artificial colors, flavors, dyes, or harmful chemicals.
Where is the BetterBone manufactured?
We sustainably source our material and manufacture the BetterBone in Croatia. Being manufactured in Europe requires us to adhere to all REACH and EU standards, meaning you will never find any harmful chemicals, colors, dyes, or flavors, including mutagenic or carcinogenic compounds. These innovations allow us to produce a new industry standard in terms of health and safety for your dog.
Which BetterBone is right for my dog? SOFT, MEDIUM, OR HARD?
BetterBone provides three densities to allow you find the right bone for your pup. We try to keep it simple.
Click here to see exactly how hard the bones are!
BetterBone SOFT- Perfect for teething puppies, older dogs (10 to 11 and older) , and light chewers. Expect small flakes to come off (this is by design and to protect teeth).
BetterBone MEDIUM- Perfect for a more durable yet gentler on teeth alternative to nylon or our hard bones. A balanced alternative to our soft and hard bones. Try this if your soft is not lasting long enough or your pup is getting big chunks off a soft bone, or if the hard is simply too hard for your pup to enjoy.
BetterBone HARD- is super durable and is meant for tough, aggressive, and strong chewers. Get this for your super chewer.
My BetterBone is flaking, is that normal?
Yep! Flaking is entirely normal, and how the BetterBone is designed. We made three different densities to accommodate every chew strength, and style around and they all flake. We developed the BetterBone SOFT to be safe on and protect teeth by making it softer than industry standard materials. We reduce the chance of cracked teeth compared to nylon, rubber, and other highly processed chew products.
If you feel like your pup is plowing their way through the soft bone too quickly, check out the BetterBone Medium and Hard densities. These are designed for medium strength and super chewers. Please be sure your dog's teeth are healthy and strong before giving your pup any BetterBone.
Is it okay for my dog to ingest pieces of the BetterBone?
BetterBone IS NOT meant to be eaten or be a meal substitute. But, if your dog does happen to ingest pieces of the BetterBone while chewing it is perfectly safe for small pieces smaller than the size of oatmeal flakes or rice grains to pass through their digestive tract.
Our ingredients are food-grade ingredients sourced from the food industry. The BetterBone is effectively non-soluble fiber so even when ingested in small quantities will pass harmlessly in small quantities.
BetterBone is designed with an optimal density to flake off as your dog enjoys playtime. You will notice some tiny pieces left behind in the area they were playing, and sometimes those pieces are ingested. In small quantities, those should pass without any issue with its all-natural composition, but this is not a meal substitute product.
Please monitor your dog while playing with their new BetterBone. If your dog is ingesting too many shavings, or getting chunks larger than grains of rice or oatmeal off in in chew, please remove the BetterBone from their possession or reduce the time you allow the dog to chew on the BetterBone each day.
We recommend trying a higher density if your pup is getting too many or too large of pieces of their BetterBone off. Try BetterBone Medium & Hard Densities for more durable options.

Happy Customers
First time user and might give it another try. Bought the large bone for medium chewers and it didn't last long at all. It kind of crumbles apart, makes a mess in the house and the crumbles are very small and get swallowed by the dogs.
Neither of my dogs liked this chew. They sniffed it, even licked it but then walked away from it. When I posted that, all I got from company was 'these bones aren't for all dogs, sorry'. That was it, no refund or even a partial refund, no way to satisfy a customer, just basically too bad. Never again.
My pup loved to chew on the nylon bones but I just could not let her continue as she was swallowing particles off the chew. She loves her new BetterBone.
Happy Pup
I now bought the small / soft for my mini goldendoodle and it is PERFECT. We are giving the larger, harder one to her cousin. We love this item.
To be honest, I love the natural ingredients but my dog isn't as keen on the flavor. He will check Benebone for extended times but picks up the BetterBone and chews a minute or two then leaves it for us to step on.
