Question 1

What is acceptable wear and tear? Mine's edges are all rough scratchy with shards hanging on after 1 day.

Accepted Answer

This benebone is the cause of my dog's death. Our beloved large breed dog that we thought we were helping by cleaning his teeth. Instead the ruff shards of nylon created large sores and cuts on his tongue and inside his cheek. This cost $1300.  Initialy At The vet + had to have him  euthanize and buried . They should not be sold. They are aware of this type of injury .

Question 2

Do the dogs ingest these bones and is that ok?  Safe?  I have a moderate chewer.

Accepted Answer

Our dog is big and an aggressive chewer. He does not actually "eat" the bones in bites or chunks, but over time as the bone wears down & disappears I would have to assume it's being injested. I throw them out when they become small enough to be a choking hazard, which takes him a couple of months to do. I do recall the packaging saying they are safe to ingest. He is on his 4th bone & has never been sick or had any problems. These bones last longer than any other for him & they are by far his favorite. I've also noticed they don't get super splintery like other brands will. I would highly recommend this product.

Question 3

Has the level of bacon been reduced in the latest production of Benebones? It's now lighter in color and bacon scent doesn't seem as strong.

Accepted Answer

Hi P. Shih, Benebone product varies in color given bacon is a natural ingredient.  They are consistent in the amount of ingredient used.  Feel free to reach out to them on their website for a replacement.

Question 4

Why criteria did Benebone use to decide on the 70 lb weight recommendation?My 80 pound dog's mouth is smaller than most her size and it seems ok.

Accepted Answer

Hi kang0r0o, thanks for your question.  The weight recommendation is only a rough guide, as weight is a highly imperfect estimator of a dog's chewing strength.   We have plenty of customers who have had good experience with dogs in excess of 70 lbs.  In the end, owner monitoring is the key to safety.  If you have a bad experience, please email us at info (at) benebone (dot) com and we will do what we can to make you a happy customer.  And yes, a larger bone is in the works.  Please keep an eye out for it!  Best regards, Peter at Benebone
