Why Antlers for Dogs? Most common questions about Antler Chews

Antler chews are set apart from traditional bones as they will not stain your carpet, splinter or turn into slimy goo, AND they last much longer than other dog chews. They are naturally shed deer or elk antler pieces, NO fillers, preservatives, added color or anything else!   
It’s just a bone the way nature intended! No animals are hurt in the collection of this bone! 

Do you treat the antlers with anything?

  • They are 100% all natural, just as if your pup went hiking in the forest to find a treat.  We basically sand blast any debris or residue off the antlers.

How do you prepare the antlers for pets?

  • We cut them to the desired size and sort them by diameter to get the proper size appropriate for pets (see below).  They are then processed, a sort of "sand blasted" method to remove any excess residue. 

What do I need to be concerned about before giving an antler to my dog?

  • As with ANY dog chew toy, to ensure safety, remove the antler bone when it becomes a choking hazard.  Choosing the appropriate size is most important to avoid possible hazards.  (see below)
