Choosing the appropriate size antler chews

Choosing the perfect Antler Chews

As with ANY dog chew or 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.

Sometimes the spirit of the dog will also help guide you in choosing the right antler chews. Aggressive chewers will go through an antler bone much faster, larger sizes will last longer.


Small Antler Dog Bones are recommended “Toy” breeds, <10 lbs, such as: Shih Tzu, Miniature Dachshund, Toy Poodle, Maltese, Pomeranian, Pub, Chihuahua, Yorkie (Yorkshire Terrier), Bichon Frise or similar sized breeds. order small now  (7 week old Boston Terrier Puppies with a small antler)

Large Antler Chews are recommended breeds for such as: Labradors Retriever, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Boxer, Bulldog, Standard Poodle, Pointer (German Shorthaired), Collie or Husky to name a few. These breeds may also enjoy the extra large bone depending on overall size, temperament or personal preference of the owner. order Large now

Extra Large XL Antler Chews are 2 inches longer and thinker in diameter than the large. Determining the best choice between the two may overlap depending on size and temperament of the dog, or preference by the owner. Extra large bones are recommended for breeds such as: Labradors Retriever, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, or Husky. They are especially good for Mastiff, Rottweiler, Great Dane, Irish Wolfhound, Bernese Mountain Dog, or  similar sized. order Extra Large now  ("Shadow", a full size Labrador Retriever with an XL antler)
