As pet parents ourselves, we know just how much joy dogs add to our lives! We also understand that chewing is their natural way to cope with stress, separation anxiety, and boredom. That’s why it’s our mission to promote healthy, non-destructive behavior so dogs can safely satisfy their urge to chew—and avoid destroying your belongings!

Nylabone Cares donates high-quality, durable chew toys to shelter dogs, service animals, and other canines preparing for a new life and family. We’re also committed to educating pet parents on why dogs chew and how to encourage healthy chewing habits…because every pup deserves a loving forever home!

Our Partnerships

Nylabone Cares proudly partners with regional humane societies, SPCAs, dog shelters and rescues, K9 law enforcement groups, and more. These are just a few of the wonderful organizations we support:

We stand behind Best Friends Animal Society's mission to end killing in shelters and give every shelter dog and cat a second chance. Through our CHEWS for Good™ promo, we're proud to partner with Best Friends to distribute our donated chew toys to their shelters and rescues nationwide.

WeRescue is an app that helps people find the love of their lives at a local pet shelter. Over 3,000 shelters list their adoptable animals in WeRescue and updates are instantly seen in the app. We encourage app users to share the pet information with others even if they have enough animals in their home already because ultimately we'd like to see every animal adopted. Find more information at WeRescue.pet. WeRescue participates in NBCUniversal Clear the Shelters™ every year.

Our chew toys offer relief to shelter dogs and those training as service animals through American Humane and their Pups4Patriots™ program. These life-changing dogs support veterans suffering from invisible wounds of war such as post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.

We proudly support dogs as they train and serve as assistance animals through the Guide Dog Foundation and America's VetDogs®. Our chew toy donations ease these hard-working pups' stress as they prepare to help individuals with disabilities.

Our chew toy donations comfort and entertain guide dogs in training through the Leader Dogs for the Blind program. When these pups are not preparing to assist people who are deaf, blind, or visually impaired, they enjoy our chew toys during playtime while they strengthen their bond with their handler.
