Why Antlers for dogs?

all natural antler dog bone fawn and dog

Antler dog bones 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! 

Frequently asked questions:

Do you treat the antlers with anything?

  • They are 100% all natural, just as if your pup were 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. Then remove any dirt or 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)

Our Story - Aussie

ThePeak Antler Company's All Natural Antler Dog Bone products were started by the family dog Aussie, an Australian Shepard/Dingo mix rescue from a shelter. 
Aussie sharing her bones with neighbor friend Gunny
 Our main work involves Antler Chandeliers, Antler Lamps and Antler Furniture using all types of Elk, Moose, Fallow Deer, White Tail Deer and Mule Deer. Aussie would sneak into the shop and steal good antlers out of the pile. She would run off into the yard, chew on them for hours and bury them to save for later. She wouldn't give them back even when I caught her stealing "red-pawed". 
We came home one day to find she had discovered the antlers in the coffee table as well, that wasn't so cute. It became obvious she loved antler more than any other bone or puppy chews we gave her. I cut up a few pieces of scrap antler for her in hopes of preventing more theft and save our furniture. It worked! Everyone was happy and the furniture was saved! Soon after, a friend with an adorably large black Labrador retriever puppy who also discovered antler accent furniture in their home told us their story. We shared a scrap piece of antler which again successfully saved their antler furniture and entertained the puppy for hours. They began asking for more antler pieces for their friends dogs and the news spread fast. It grew organically into a business by demand, just the way nature intended!
