Happy Human and Pup!

"I absolutely love this product and so does my dog! My Doberman tends to eat her meaty bones so fast so when I’m not there to supervise I don’t feel comfortable letting anyone else feeding her bones. This supplement has been an amazing alternative for those occasions. Also it has made meals way easier to prepare when travelling. I can just add better bones to her meals and rest assured she’s getting proper amounts of calcium and minerals essential for healthy puppy growth!"

Jessy C.

Real Powdered Bones

Dogs need the right amount of calcium, phosphorus and other minerals. Joint and skeletal problems can begin to develop if minerals are out of balance. But raw bones can splinter or might not be digested by your dog, leaving his meals unbalanced. And cooked meals use unnatural sources of calcium like eggshells that aren't properly balanced.

Better Bones makes raw or cooked diets naturally easy. It's carefully dried bone with the natural ratio of calcium and phosphorus and it's rich in amino acids and growth factors, which are lacking in other sources of calcium.

  • Supports bone and joint health: Contains amino acids and growth factors which are often lacking in other sources of calcium.
  • Easy to use: Easy directions for your own food or use our recipes.
  • Trusted by dog owners: Backed by hundreds of positive reviews, Better Bones is a trusted choice among pet owners who are looking for a natural way to improve their dog's health and wellbeing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Better Bones help safely balance homemade or raw meals?
How does Better Bones help safely balance homemade or raw meals?

Better Bones provides a clean, measured source of naturally occurring calcium and minerals to help you balance your dog’s meals with confidence — without worrying about whole bones, sharp fragments, or inconsistent mineral levels.

Why choose a bone-based feed supplement instead of feeding whole bones?
Why choose a bone-based feed supplement instead of feeding whole bones?

Whole bones can vary widely in density and mineral content — and they come with choking risks and potential dental damage. Better Bones gives you the benefits of real bones in a finely ground, consistent, safe-to-measure form.

What makes Better Bones safer than other sources of calcium?
What makes Better Bones safer than other sources of calcium?

Unlike eggshell powders and other calcium supplements, Better Bones comes from real, air-dried bones and contains naturally balanced calcium and phosphorus in the ratios dogs need for proper meal formulation.

Why does calcium-to-phosphorus balance matter when feeding dogs?
Why does calcium-to-phosphorus balance matter when feeding dogs?

Because too much of either can throw off the mineral profile of a homemade diet. Better Bones provides the natural bone-based balance dogs are adapted to — making meal formulation easier and more reliable.

Why use bones from grass-fed, pasture-raised animals?

Who We Are

In Memory of Simon & Aaron

The story of Four Leaf Rover started as a tragedy. Our founder Dana Scott lost two dogs from toxic sprays they were exposed to in the fields surrounding her home. In a frantic effort to save her dogs and protect her remaining dog family, Dana connected with most of the leading holistic veterinarians around the world about the most effective natural remedies. As Dana researched remedies, she found nearly all contained hidden or harmful ingredients. Four Leaf Rover began as a promise to Dana's lost dogs that all dogs deserve super premium products with natural ingredients that are thoroughly tested to be low in harmful pesticides and heavy metals. With a mission of quality, transparency and sustainability, Four Leaf Rover is making the world a better place for dogs and the people who love them.
