Our Story

Our Mission: Better for your dog. Better for the planet.

BetterBone was founded with a clear purpose: to offer dogs a better, healthier, more eco-friendly chewing experience. We have developed an innovative, industry-changing material and chew bone that prioritizes your pup's well-being while being kind to the environment. Our commitment to using all-natural, food-grade, and sustainable ingredients sets us apart.

BetterBone: Safer, Healthier, and Planet-Friendly

Drawing on 25 years of sustainable manufacturing expertise, we have created BetterBone to be the epitome of safety, dental health, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and planet-friendly dog chews. Our proprietary material allows us to precisely control the density of our bones, resulting in the satiating and teeth-friendly BetterBone Classic. For the most aggressive chewers out there, we offer the BetterBone TOUGH, designed to withstand the most powerful and aggressive chewers.
