BetterBone Small Chew Toy

BetterBone Small Chew Toy — the better chew, sized for small dogs.

A plant-based, planet-friendly chew built for dogs from 20 to 50 lbs — Dachshunds, French Bulldogs, and other small and mid-size breeds. Powered by our proprietary Vernovo™ material, a blend of cellulose and plant extracts, BetterBone Small gives them something safer and more satisfying to chew on — without nylon, rawhide, or harmful chemicals. Pick your density, pick your flavor, and give your best friend a chew you can both feel good about.

Step 2: Pick Your Density

Density is how tough and thick the chew is — match it to your dog's chewing style.

• Light — gentlest on teeth and designed to flake gently, so it's ideal for teething puppies, senior dogs, and light or sensitive chewers. Comparable to rawhide in feel, without the risks. (By design, Light wears down faster than Moderate or Hard.)
• Moderate — just-right toughness for most everyday chewers. A natural alternative to nylon that's a little easier on teeth.
• Hard — our most durable option, for stronger and more determined chewers. Comparable to nylon in strength, without the petroleum.

If your dog wears the chew down quickly or breaks off larger pieces, move up to a higher density.

Step 3: Flavors

Every BetterBone is finished with a hypoallergenic scent infusion — no animal byproducts and no artificial additives. The scent keeps dogs curious and engaged, and it won't stain your floors or furniture or leave a lingering smell in your home.

• Veggie (plant-based scent infusion)
• Beef (plant-based scent infusion)
• Venison (plant-based scent infusion)

A Healthier Chew

BetterBone Small is built on Vernovo™, our proprietary blend of cellulose and plant extracts — food-grade, plant-based materials chosen for strength without compromise. You'll never find nylon, rawhide, or harmful chemicals in our chews, because your dog's health comes first. With BetterBone, it's as much about what's not in the chew as what is.

Built to Last, Designed to Be Safe

BetterBone Small is engineered for real chewing. Our trident-shaped ends feature dental nubs, ridges, and smooth ends that help clean teeth and massage gums as your dog chews, reaching the trickier spots and supporting everyday dental health. And because safety comes first, BetterBone is designed to wear down into soft flakes instead of breaking into sharp splinters — so chew time stays satisfying and safer. Always supervise your dog while chewing, and replace the chew once the ends are about 50% worn.

Better for Your Dog. Better for the Planet.

Sustainability isn't an afterthought — it's the whole point. Our packaging is FSC-certified and printed with non-toxic ink, with no new petroleum plastics. Compared to traditional chews, BetterBone is made with 85% less CO₂ and 97% less non-renewable resource use, and we're carbon neutral through our Tree Nation reforestation partnership. Less waste. More wag.

A Quick Note on Safe Chewing

BetterBone is a chew toy — not a treat, a meal, or food of any kind, and it provides no nutritional value. It's designed purely for chewing satisfaction. Small flakes may come off during chewing, so always supervise your dog at play. Chew — don't eat.

BetterBone Small: a better chew for your dog, and a better choice for the planet.
