BetterBone is made from just two plant-based ingredients—no nylon, no rubber, no sketchy chemicals. BetterBone is not a meal substitute.
Your dog’s chewing is natural — let’s give them something that actually belongs in their mouth.
FREE Replacement Guarantee: If you pick the wrong durability, donate it to a shelter and we’ll send you the right one — completely free.
“ 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.”

BetterBone is designed for your dog’s chewing instincts — without the health risks that come with plastic toys or rawhide.
No nylon. No rubber. No mystery.
BetterBone is made from only two 100% natural, plant-based ingredients: cellulose + corn & plant derived ingredients. That’s it. Tough enough for your dog’s jaws.
We don’t do artificial colors, flavors, or fillers — because your dog deserves better than plastic pretending to be a chew toy.

BetterBones are made with cellulose + corn & plant derived ingredients. 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.
We sustainably source our material and manufacture the BetterBone in Europe. 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.
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.
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.
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. BetterBone is made with up to 95% Plant Derived Materials.
Our ingredients are plant-based 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
“She loves her BetterBone ”
“As a first-time dog mom, I was overwhelmed with all the chew options out there — most were full of chemicals or didn’t last a day. BetterBone changed everything. My golden retriever hasn’t looked at the furniture since, and I feel so much better knowing what he’s chewing on is actually safe.”
-Jules M.
“A very tough chew”
“My dog has been happily chewing on this for months. it gets left out in the sun, rain, and snow and still waits to be chewed on -- there's no deterioration from the elements that I can see. and out of all the chew toys the lab has tried, this one is the best. It's a good weight and is hard. he has to work to score it, and none of it has broken off. this is a great value and has been an excellent purchase for my dog.”
-Sasha T.
“Endless entertainment for my dog!”
“It’s safe and the only chew my dog can have that truly lasts. He demolishes anything else I’ve tried in which makes others unsafe because of choking or consumption. I highly recommend for strong chewers!”
-Jay C.
“Better than Nylon”
“So much better than nylon bones. For one, I bought two of these months ago for my two very chewy dogs and they hardly look used at all despite some serious gnawing. But I really like these over nylon because my dog picks off these tiny pieces of the nylon bones and they stick to eeeeverything and I also find pieces in their poop which worries me about safety. These do not do that. They hold up really well, they seem to be safer, and the dogs seem to like them just as much”
-Tamara H.
