BetterBone makes safe bones for dogs that are 100% nylon-free: PEFC sustainably forested wood flour and renewable sugarcane oil. That's all.

Size:Small (Dogs 20-50 lbs)

Got a puppy or adult doggo who can't seem to stop his destructive chewing habits? You need a durable dog chew toy to keep your dogs busy and to chew safely. And we got ya.

The BetterBone HARD is a nylabone alternative chew toy made specifically for aggressive chewers and free from allergens and micro plastics. This is the perfect supplement for bully sticks as it won't splinter or cause a choking hazard. How does it work? The bones eventually flake into digestible pieces of cellulose to protect the teeth and it's enamel.

BetterBone makes safe bones for dogs that are 100% nylon-free and made with only two natural ingredients: PEFC sustainably forested cellulose and renewable sugarcane oil. That's all. This chew toy is 2-5% harder and also 5-10% more durable than typical nylon dog chews. It's also unflavored, making it a safe treat for dogs with allergies! We are in love with this natural, eco-friendly alternative to nylabone - you and your pup will be too!

Try it with this cool Treat Clincher for hours of fun!

For gentle chewers, check out BetterBone SOFT.

Great toy my dog loves it!

Kallie loves the better bone and has been chewing it for hours! It’s so much better than the plastic ones. Great sustainability practices. Thanks for the bone! My Facebook post got 18k views hope someone else found your toy as great as my dog does!

Hi James - Thank you for sharing this sweet photo of Kallie :) Love her blanket too! We're so happy to hear she loves her new BetterBone. And that was so kind of you for sharing on FB - thank you!

Great but need an even smaller size!

Our new rescue (a 12lb. Maltese mix - about 1 1/2 yrs. old) LOVES to chew and went through just about every toy we bought her. She also tried to eat any stuffing, plastic or anything else she found inside her toys - which really concerned me. I was excited to find the BetterBone - knowing whatever she swallowed wouldn’t harm her. She initially chewed on it and seemed to enjoy it but quickly lost interest. I realized it was just too big and too heavy for her (even though I ordered the small size) so I got out a hacksaw (seriously it’s that hard!) and cut it into 3 pieces. She now loves it and carries it all around the house. Would love to see it in a smaller size!

What a creative solution! We're so glad this worked for your rescue pup! Thanks for sharing this brilliant idea.

My 3 dogs love these. They are very small dogs but they are very aggressive chewers. These BetterBones are holding up well.
No mess, and no stink - two big advantages!

Aggressive Chewer Safely Satisfied

My 10-month-old rescue hound puppy is settling into his forever home. He is our first dog, so we're learning what he likes and what is safe. We tried a nylon bone when we realized he loves hard chews, but within 10 minutes his gums were bleeding. Better Bone is the perfect solution. Our power pup put some dents in it in the first 20 minutes, but the material "flakes", so there are no stiff or sharp edges to hurt his gums or teeth. He's been happily chomping for about three weeks now, and there's a long way to go.

Hi Jo - Yeah! This is what we love to hear! We're thrilled your rescue pup is having a good safe plastic free chew.

Feedback on the dog bones for hard chewers

The bones are very durable, and I think they are a lot safer for my dogs. That said, they don't chew on them as long and I think that may be because they are used to nylabones and bonabones that have chicken and beef flavors often times. They do like to play with them though and that is a good thing. Thanks so much- Gina W.

Hi Gina- We're happy that your pups like the BetterBones. This particular bone has zero flavor, as that is the most sustainable 'flavor' right now. We stay away from anything with beef or lamb flavors or meats because these are have the worst impact on the planet. We hope to carry some more eco friendly flavors in the future.

Each of our products is designed to ensure the least amount of waste possible by using organic materials like hemp, organic cotton, natural rubber, and more. Many are even compostable. We will never produce products with plastic or silicone that might be harmful to your pet's health.

We believe that leading the pathway towards a more sustainable future is possible not just for our pets, but for our world as well.
