First batch photo journey!
I used sweet potato baby food hoping for an orange color, but no luck. 

 My helper Brodie getting ready to start!

 We put our Antler Sprinkles in a jar for convenience.

The dough rolled out rather nicely to about 10" x 16" to start.

 We had fun with dog bone, pumpkin & leaf cookie cutters for the season.

 Ready for the oven!

 20 minutes @ 350 degrees was perfect.

Of course my helper decided to take a 20 minute puppy nap while they cooked.

 Done! A few of the larger cookies puffed up with an air bubble in the middle, but held together fine so no worries.
 

 Enough scraps for round 2

 Yield 3 large pumpkins, 6 dog bones and 15 smaller leaves & pumpkins.
I had ambitions of decorating the pumpkins with white chocolate, maybe next time.

 Brodie awakes to my rescue to try some out!  Sadly no photos, it would be a two person job.  He followed house rules and quickly took his treat outside to enjoy before I could take a picture.

 

I see craft fairs in the near future!

All natural ground elk & deer antler provide supplements for necessary minerals such as calcium, phosphorus & magnesium. (*see study below) The benefits of minerals found naturally in antlers will aid in faster recovery from physical exertion and injury as well as increased mobility. They are known to support and renew joints as well. 

As in all our antler dog products, the antlers used are naturally shed deer or elk antler. No fillers, preservatives, added color or anything else! It’s just ground up antler dust, a calcium bone supplement the way nature intended! No animals are hurt in the collection of our antler products!

 Another pet product inspired by our rescue pup Aussie, and now credit to her new little brother Brodie as well! How you ask? by loving to hang out in the shop and lick the floor after a day of cutting up dog bones!  Since we cannot invite all pups to the shop to clean our floor, we ground some up and packaged them for you! See Aussies business start up story HERE. & Brodies corner . . . a puppy's opinion HERE.

*“Growing antlers are comprised mostly of proteins (80% by weight); whereas, mature (hardened) antlers are comprised of roughly equal amounts of proteins and minerals. Studies have shown that calcium and phosphorus are by far the two most common minerals in deer antlers comprising nearly 30–35% of the mature antler by weight. However, they are not the only minerals present. A University of Georgia study (Miller et al. 1985) detected 11 different minerals in the whitetail’s antlers. In addition to calcium (19.01%) and phosphorous (10.13%), the next two most common elements reported in the study were magnesium (1.09%) and sodium (0.50%). Lesser amounts of other minerals were found including potassium, barium, iron, aluminum, zinc, strontium, and manganese.” - www.leapoutdoors.com

Brodies Corner - Antler Chew Preference

The Brodie & Antler Puppy Story

We have had our Blue Heeler rescue puppy, Brodie, for 2 months now and have discovered his preferences for our All Natural Antler Dog Bones.

When we brought him home at 8 weeks, I took him to our small sized bin of antlers and he choose one for himself.  He preferred split antlers, although I didn't feel they were safe as split antlers are not as structurally strong and I worried he could break a piece off.  As it turns out he is not an aggressive chewer even as a puppy, combined with the fact that his attention span doesn't last more than a minute with the antler at this age!  It was perfect in that he had full access to the marrow right away.  It is still in his bucket of toys he can pull out to entertain himself, I do not worry about it now.

 At 12 weeks I thought he could use a larger antler, so I took him to the medium sized antler chews.  He chose a very thick elk antler.  I think again because the marrow is more accessible and his attention span is now only about 2-3 minutes with the antler bone.  (I don't believe this is the case with other pups, I think it's his personality.)  He would still love this bone and it would have been size appropriate for months, but we lost it on a road trip to Kansas.  FYI - Antlers are GREAT for traveling as they do not have a foul smell when being chewed as other dog treats, especially in confined spaces, and especially traveling with motion sickness prone folks like myself sensitive to odors!

As puppies do, he would fall asleep at any moment, including antler bone time!

He is 4 1/2 months now and we took another trip to our antler bins to replace the lost one.  He choose a large antler bone this time just for fun.  Not surprisingly he again chose an elk antler with the marrow exposed a bit more than others.   
(REMEMBER he is NOT an aggressive chewer!  I always recommend deer base end antlers for very aggressive chewers as they are more dense!  He also chews on deer, just prefers elk when given a choice.)  
He likes to carry this one all over the house and yard, toss it around or lick it more than actually chewing on it.  I even caught him rolling around upside down on top of it.  Possibly due to a bit unique shape and heaviness compared to his size.  Regardless, it is a great toy, chewed on when he is in the mood, safe enough I do not feel the need to constantly monitor him, and quite entertaining for us to watch.  If we don't loose this one traveling it will be great to see how long it lasts!!!

 He is so stinkin' cute, I just LOVE him!

Brodie is rolling around with the antler barking at it and smiling . . . literally ROTFL!
I wish I had caught it on video!
