When puppies go through their teething and chewing stage, they find relief by working on a bone. As they get older, the practice of working a bone in their jawline doesn’t go away. The act is beneficial for their dental health as it helps remove plaque from their teeth. As an added benefit, chewing on a bone inadvertently increases a dog’s calcium intake. And just like we often head to the fridge to rummage for a snack when we’re bored or stressed, dogs turn to chewing on a bone for the same reasons.
If you have a dog that likes to chew on your slippers or more expensive items around the home, a good, sturdy dog bone will be a great substitute for both you and Bowser. Here are our picks of bones for your top dog.
No guilt
This marrow filled bone is nutrient rich and all natural. Each bone is made from grass-fed, American-raised cattle and contains a minimum of 30 percent protein, which will help keep your friend strong and lean. Made for medium-to-large dogs who are aggressive chewers.
For all breeds
Made in the American Midwest, these knee cap chews are made in prime facilities that adhere to the strictest of quality assurance requirements. Free of rawhide and great for all breeds, these naturally baked bones are slow-roasted and full of flavor that your dog will love.

Wild sourced
Not all dog bones come from cows. This product is made of premium, grade-A whole antler from an elk. This split elk antler chew is long lasting and perfect for both aggressive and non-aggressive chewers. Unlike common chews such as pig ears or rawhide that tend to get messy and give off a pungent smell over time, these antlers chews are clean and odorless. They are wild sourced from the Rocky Mountain region, never from elk farms or hunters. Antler chews are an excellent source of essential nutrients for your furry friend. They’re all natural, not machine produced, which means each piece is unique in size, shape, weight, density and hue. Plus they are socially conscious – you can have the satisfaction of knowing a percentage of each sale goes to canine rescue programs.
