In life, generally the real thing is better than the imitation. But every once in a while, something comes along that's better than the real thing. Our new Maplestick is made with nothing but maple wood and nylon, for a durable fetch toy which will have dogs ditching regular sticks.The Maplestick is a nylon/wood mix and it has a bit more “give” than our other flavored nylon chew toys.Made Sourced in the USAMeet Alyssa.

We are proud to offer quality products made by fellow Americans and are committed to supporting US businesses.Patented Ergonomic DesignThe last time we checked, dogs don't have thumbs. That's why Benebone's Maplestick features a patented design with ridges and curves to help your pup get a good grip, for hours of chewing enjoyment.Benebone Maplesticks come in SMALL, MEDIUM, and LARGE and just one flavor - maple wood. Weight is only a rough guide to sizing, and cannot replace the monitoring of a dog's chewing habits. When in doubt, choose the larger size chew toy for safety's sake.
