Every dog chews differently—that's why there's a BetterBone for every pup.

Moderate
The ideal balance of toughness and flexibility for most dogs. Designed to stand up to everyday chewing while remaining comfortable and engaging for regular chewers.
Hard
Our toughest durability, made for aggressive chewers, power chompers, and dogs that make quick work of other chew toys. Built to provide the longest-lasting challenge for determined chewers.
All BetterBone flavors are hypoallergenic, vegetarian scent infusions made without animal byproducts.

BetterBone is a chew toy, not a treat. Our flavor infusions help keep dogs engaged, but this product is not intended for consumption and should not be eaten.
Your dog's safety is our top priority. BetterBone is a chew toy, not a dog treat, and is not intended to be consumed as food or used as a meal replacement. Always supervise your dog during chew sessions and choose the appropriate size and durability based on their weight, age, and chewing style.
As your dog chews, it is normal for BetterBone to wear down and release small rice-sized flakes or granules. This controlled flaking is designed to be safer than the sharp splinters or large chunks that can come from traditional bones, wood, antlers, or some synthetic chews. However, if your dog is breaking off larger pieces, discontinue use and switch to a larger size or harder durability.
Inspect your BetterBone regularly and replace it when it shows moderate signs of wear. Selecting the right size and density—and replacing worn chews as needed—helps keep your dog safe, comfortable, and happily chewing.
We believe it isn't truly good for your dog if it isn't good for the planet they call home. That's why we build every BetterBone from the ground up with sustainability in mind—helping protect the Earth for future generations of pups while creating a safer, healthier chew experience today.

Real Reviews from Happy Pet Parents
Impressed our vet
At our dog's most recent teeth cleaning with the vet (last week) she asked what we were doing because his teeth were cleaner than the last time he had them cleaned. I happened to have the bone, as it helps him stay calm in his car kennel. She approved! Definitely recommend.
Lives up to it's name!
I finally found a chew toy that actually lives up to it's promise. My dog has torn through everything from rubber bones to nylon chews in record time. I was skeptical that anything could stand up to his jaws… until we tried this BetterBone Hard chew. From the moment I handed it to him, his whole tail went into overdrive! 🐶
My dog is obsessed!
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 other bones!
Peace of Mind
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.

BetterBone satisfies your dog’s chewing instincts — without the risks of nylon, rawhide, or added chemicals.

FAQs
BetterBone is a plant-based dog chew toy made with Vernovo™ material by Blue Standard. Our proprietary formula combines GMO-free plant-derived cellulose and GMO-free plant extracts to create a durable, splinter-resistant chew bone that's designed to be safer for dogs and better for the planet.
Yes! BetterBone features dental-enrichment textures that help gently clean teeth, massage gums, and reduce plaque buildup as your dog chews. The textured surfaces keep dogs mentally engaged while supporting healthy chewing habits and better oral health.
For the safest chewing experience, always choose the durability level that matches your dog's age, size, and chew strength.
Yes. BetterBone is designed to wear down gradually through normal chewing, creating small rice-sized granules rather than sharp splinters or large chunks. This controlled flaking helps reduce the risk of injury to your dog's mouth, teeth, and digestive tract compared to traditional wood chews, antlers, rawhide, or some nylon chew toys that can break into harder, sharper pieces.
Because the material wears into small rounded granules instead of hard shards, any incidental ingestion is generally safer than swallowing larger chunks or sharp splinters that may cause irritation, choking hazards, or digestive issues. Small granules are a normal part of the chewing process and are typically passed naturally.
However, BetterBone is a chew toy—not a food product—and is not intended for consumption. Dogs should always be supervised during use. If your dog is tearing off large pieces or chunks, remove the chew immediately and consider sizing up or choosing a harder durability better suited to their chewing style.
Every dog has a unique chewing style, which is why BetterBone is available in three durability levels:
LIGHT is ideal for teething puppies, senior dogs, gentle chewers, and dogs who lose interest in overly hard chew toys. Its softer density helps soothe teething discomfort while remaining engaging and easy on teeth.
MODERATE is our most popular option and works well for most dogs. It offers the ideal balance of toughness and flexibility for everyday chewing and enrichment.
HARD is designed for aggressive chewers, power chompers, and dogs that quickly destroy traditional chew bones and dog toys.
Choosing the right size dog chew toy helps ensure a safer and more enjoyable chewing experience.
• MINI: Dogs under 20 lbs
• SMALL: Dogs 20–50 lbs
• LARGE: Dogs over 50 lbs
If your dog is between sizes or is an especially powerful chewer, we recommend sizing up.
BetterBone is designed to provide a safer chewing experience than many traditional dog chew options. Unlike wood chews and natural sticks, BetterBone is splinter-resistant and engineered to wear down gradually rather than breaking into sharp shards. Unlike antlers and extremely hard nylon chews, BetterBone is formulated to be gentler on teeth while still providing long-lasting enrichment for dogs who love to chew.
As with any dog chew toy, supervision is recommended, and selecting the correct size and durability for your dog is important for safe chewing.
