Highlighted Reviews

β€” Mike

"He loves it but it makes a mess! Tiny pieces all over his bed and floor. Makes me feel better that it’s food grade because he did ingest some of the small pieces."

β€” Feliciti

"I was specifically searching for a softer chew bone for my 13 yo Chiweenie. This was the only one I could find. Unfortunately it is just as hard as a Benebone or Nylabone. I believe this is simply a marketing tactic by the Betterbone company. I had to throw it away :( "

Bottom Line
