BetterBone HARD Dog Chew

Dog toys aren’t regulated for safety or quality, with many of them made from low-grade plastics, synthetic dyes, and chemical additives that are harmful to our pets and the planet. Unsurprisingly, many dog toys fall apart after a few chews and, even worse, expose our dogs to harmful chemicals linked to allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, and more. After all, dogs chew, gnaw, and mouth their toys repeatedly, and as poorly designed toys break down quickly, our dogs ingest small parts, increasing health risks.

Research shows that common chemicals found in dog toys include phthalates, BPA, lead, and more. Because of their size and chronic exposure, dogs are more contaminated by these chemicals than humans. They also develop health problems more rapidly than us due to their shorter lifespans.

That’s why The Hearty Paw takes a different approach by prioritizing higher-quality materials, safer manufacturing practices, and sustainable sourcing. Every toy we carry is selected with long-term safety, durability, and your dog’s wellbeing in mind.

At The Hearty Paw, every toy we carry is one we’d confidently give our own dogs. We rigorously evaluate each toy for quality, construction, and sustainability. We prioritize thoughtfully designed toys made with safer materials and higher-quality, ethical manufacturing processes. Our toys support meaningful play, encouraging mental stimulation that helps prevent boredom and destructive behavior.

Unsurprisingly, most toys don’t make The Hearty Paw cut. Our selection includes responsibly sourced products, natural or thoughtfully engineered materials, and toys that meet or exceed recognized safety standards and certifications, including certified non-toxic. The result is a curated assortment of well-made toys designed for durability, enrichment, and planet-friendly play.
