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.

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!
