the life of a Benebone

when to replace

Diamonds may last forever, but unfortunately Benebones don’t. Our durable chew toys are built to handle tough play, but they naturally wear down over time. Most last a few weeks, or even a month, depending on your dog’s chewing style.

Use our visual guide to help decide when it’s time to retire your pup’s chew. We recommend replacing or recycling after about a month — or sooner if it’s showing significant wear. Not sure? Snap a few photos and send them our way. We’re happy to help you figure it out.

OK TO CHEW!

This one is a bit obvious, but we couldn’t resist showing the beautiful, gleaming starting point. Looks great, don’t you agree?

TIME TO TOSS
OR RECYCLE

Things are starting to get a little gnarly here. The product has become deformed as a decent bit of the material is gone. If more than a sugar-cube’s worth of product is missing, it’s time to go.

remember!

Like many things in life, there can be too much of a good thing. If more than a sugar-cube’s worth of the product is missing, and the integrity of the product no longer instills confidence, it’s time to say goodbye!
