Dogs have a natural instinct to chew, but many traditional chew toys are made from extremely hard synthetic materials like nylon that can be tough on teeth and rely on petroleum-based plastics.

BetterBone offers a different approach by using plant-derived materials to create a durable chew that satisfies dogs’ natural chewing instincts while avoiding many of the synthetic ingredients commonly found in conventional dog chew toys.

The material is made using PEFC-certified sustainably forested wood flour and renewable sugarcane oil, creating a plant-based chew designed to gradually wear down instead of splintering during chewing. The textured surface also helps stimulate gums and support dental health.

The Light BetterBone is designed specifically for puppies, senior dogs, and gentle chewers who still enjoy chewing but need a material that’s easier on their teeth.

Maple loves her new Better Bone

Maple loves her new Better Bone. She lives in Silverthorne Colorado and will be training to become the next search and rescue dog at Keystone Resort. I am her grandma. At 10 weeks old, your Better Bone has been amazing since she needs to chew and eat anything she can find. Puppy love. Thank you. I have pictures to share and her Instagram is @mapleoutofbounds.

Much better than nylon

I ordered the Better Bone for our adopted Westie last year and she loves her bone. She chews on it almost every day but I think it will last her for quite some time. I’m happy that she can no longer injure her gums as she did with the nylon bones.

Hi Ilona - Thank you so much for sharing this with us! We’re thrilled to hear your Westie is loving her BetterBone. It’s wonderful knowing she can chew happily (and safely!) every day without any worry about sore gums.

Both my dogs live it

My puppy was ingesting parts of her nylon teething toy so I went looking for a safer alternative. I got one for her and one for my senior dog and they both love them. I especially like that I am able to easily hold it while my puppy chews on it which keeps her more engaged. This is now one of her favorite toys. It helps transition her to bedtime really well. I also feel much better knowing the materials are safe given that she is teething and does unfortunately swallow tiny bits occasionally (although not entire chunks like what was happening with the nylon chew toy)

Hi Stephanie - What a fun, soothing way to transition to bed time - chewing on a natural, non toxic, plastic free toy. We love that! And we're so happy to hear the bones are a favorite for your two sweet dogs!

Puppy Loves It!

After watching my puppy chip bits of plastic off his chews I knew I wanted to find something more sustainable for him to gnaw on. He LOVES his better bone and while it also chips, I know whatever he's ingesting is much better for him than shards of plastic.

Hi Sarah -

Yeah to no more microplastics in our sweet little pups' bellies! I'm so glad to hear that your little one loves the bones like we do :)

The best puppy chew toy ever!!

I got this for my 5 month old chihuahua mix who is an aggressive chewer. He absolutely destroys any kind of chew toy we give him and I wanted to find a safer option that wouldn’t harm him if he happened to ingest any of it and this was the best answer. He loves it. He’s absolutely obsessed with it. Please never stop making these!

Hi Alison! Thank you for leaving such a great review for our BetterBone SOFT chew toy. We're so glad to hear that it's been a hit with your aggressive chewer and that you feel confident in its safety. Thanks for choosing our product!

FAQ

BetterBone is made from plant-derived ingredients, including PEFC sustainably forested wood flour and renewable sugarcane oil. These ingredients are used to create a durable chew toy while avoiding synthetic materials like nylon that are commonly used in traditional dog chews.

Many pet parents prefer BetterBone because it avoids synthetic nylon materials. The plant-based material is designed to gradually wear down and flake during chewing rather than splintering into sharp pieces.

The flaking is intentional. The material is designed to wear down gradually during chewing rather than breaking into hard splinters. This helps reduce the risk of tooth damage compared with harder synthetic chew toys.

BetterBone chew toys are safe to ingest (not a meal replacement or a treat, remember this is a chew). The bones flake off into digestible pieces of cellulose, making it safe for your pet's digestion and easy on their teeth.

Yes. The textured surface and chewing action can help stimulate gums and scrape plaque from teeth during chewing, supporting everyday dental health.
