Benebone products are primarily composed of nylon and flavoring, often including real ingredients such as bacon, peanut butter, chicken, or maple wood. The specific composition can vary depending on the particular product, but nylon serves as the durable base material that provides the chew’s structural integrity. The flavoring is integrated throughout the nylon, rather than simply coated on the surface, aiming to provide a lasting taste experience for the dog.
The creation of durable chew toys like these addresses the inherent canine desire to chew, offering a safer alternative to furniture or other household items. The embedded flavorings are intended to maintain a dog’s interest, promoting prolonged engagement with the toy. The strength and density of the nylon are designed to withstand persistent chewing, reducing the risk of large pieces breaking off, which could pose a choking hazard. This durability differentiates it from many softer chew toys.
