BetterBone Soft Density is perfect for light chewers, teething puppies, and elder dogs, who have a softer chew strength. Made from two natural ingredients, our bones are healthier, safer, and delicious. The best part is, that there is NO NYLON in any BetterBone. This is our Mini size which is recommended for tiny breeds (under 15 lbs). The Classic flavor is hypoallergenic and really great for dogs with sensitive stomachs and has no added flavors. Flaking is to be expected, BetterBone's are splinter resistant. Our material flakes to better protect teeth and could be a little messy but this is to protect teeth! Our unique teeth-cleaning ends reach tricky hard-to-clean areas. Pair this with our natural, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and splinter-resistant composition, BetterBone SOFT is the perfect chew toy for your teething puppy, or older dog and light to moderate chewers—the perfect replacement for nylon or rawhide. SOFT will not last as long as nylon but will be safer on teeth.
