"Bene" is the Latin word for "good", and bone means bone, which is why the brand was named Benebone. Benebone uses real flavors of chicken, bacon, fish, peanut and maple wood. It is a very durable chew toy made from super strong nylon and is designed for a paw friendly grip.
What is Benebone? Dogs love the taste, push the shelf life to the limit and can lie down for hours chewing. That's why Benebone uses real flavors of chicken, bacon, fish, peanut and maple wood. It is a very durable chew toy made from super strong nylon, all made in the USA and designed for a paw friendly grip that can entertain the dog for hours. Benebone is a chew toy and is not edible. As any chew toy or bone wears down, it is possible that some of it may be eaten, so keep an eye on your dog. Depending on the size, quantity and time of consumption, non-edible products can cause gastrointestinal problems. Be careful - if you think any of the Benebone may be eaten, remove it immediately. Is your dog an aggressive chewer? Benebone is made of nylon, which is a hard material. Aggressive chewing can cause chips or cracks in the teeth and possibly result in the loss/removal of teeth. Not all dogs have the teeth to withstand aggressive chewing on hard materials like nylon. Tooth damage is an inevitable risk when using chew toys of this hardness and durability, such as nylon, bone and antler. Consider softer products to avoid this risk if the dog is an aggressive chewer. But don't forget the puppy product line, which is a bit softer. Benebones is also not suitable for or older dogs who may have reduced tooth strength. See more about safety here https://www.benebone.com/safety/ Which size should you choose? On each Benebone there is an approximate guideline for which size to choose. Benebones is not suitable for dogs that weigh more than our recommended guidelines, or for dogs that are very strong or very aggressive chewers. Therefore, always choose the largest product your dog can handle, even if you have a dog rated for a smaller size. The Small and Puppy variants are very small, these must not be given to larger dogs. ATTENTION! All Benebone are marked in pounds and not kilos. 1 pound equals approximately 0.5 kg. When should I replace the dog's Benebone? Benebone are durable and designed to last and retain flavor longer than most chew toys. Anywhere from a few days to a few weeks or more, but we recommend replacing it monthly if wear indicates it. Generally, if pieces the size of rice or smaller fall off the Benebone, these generally do not cause a problem. However, if there is a risk that larger pieces may fall off, the bone must be discarded and replaced with a new one. See instructions for replacement here: https://www.benebone.com/when-to-replace/
