Antlers vs. Rawhide

A good article summary comparing Antlers vs. Rawhide
If dogs are not provided with chew toys, they will likely find other items to chew on such as shoes, furniture, or even harmful objects. Antler Dog Chews offer a good alternative while providing dogs with necessary dietary minerals. They are naturally sturdy and available in several sizes to accommodate a wide variety of dog breeds.

Antlers vs. Rawhide
Deer antlers have many benefits over rawhides. Rawhides are much softer and in general do not last as long as antlers. Because they are soft, rawhides may also be torn into large chunks which, swallowed whole instead of being chewed, may cause intestinal blockage. Deer antlers also provide a higher percentage of protein for dogs over rawhide.
As with any dog chew, to ensure safety always remove antler bone when it is small enough to become a choking hazard.
