Why antler chews for dogs?

Antler dog bone 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. Antler chews for dogs are naturally shed deer or elk antler pieces, NO fillers, preservatives, added color or anything else!  They make great healthy dog treats!

It’s just a bone the way nature intended!

 No animals are hurt in the collection of this antler chew! 

Do you treat the antler chews with anything?

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

How do you prepare the antler chews for dogs?

• We cut them to the desired size and sort them by diameter to get the proper size appropriate for pets.  We use a sand tumbling process that removes any dirt or residue.

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

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

Why Antlers For Dogs?

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!

We do NOT offer brown "fresh" antlers from hunted/killed deer or farm raised animals.

Our dog bones are naturally shed antlers, gathered in the forest or on ranch lands at various times of the year around Colorado, Utah & New Mexico, they are all weathered at different stages. The slight weathering may lead to discoloration or outer hairline cracking. We will NOT package antlers that are rotted, have cracks penetrating the center of the bone, or we believe would be a hazard to any pet. Older dogs, mild chewers, or dogs who only get them for short periods of time do not need to be concerned as much for the weathered effects, in fact it allows these dogs to get the mineral benefit much easier. We have been selling these antler dog bones for pets successfully for over 7 years.

If you have concerns or have an aggressive chewer please request a “base end”, the part closest to the head of the deer at the bur. It is the most dense part of the antler and a lot more work to gnaw on. They are available in Large or Extra
Large size.

Feel free to make specific requests, we package each order individually.

Brodies Corner Update

ANTLER DOG BONE CHEW 2 YEAR UPDATE

Brodie is now 2 years old, he is even less of a chewer which has demoted him significantly as our antler dog chew mascot!!!
He prefers to join dad in the shop when he is cutting up antler dog chews and "helps" by licking up as much of the antler dust off the floor as possible.
(We sell the antler dust too, but NOT off the floor! Check out our Antler Sprinkles)

Brodie still has his elk antler "pipe" and may chew on it for a minute or two, again he licks it more than anything!

Brodie Licking His Antler Chew

Oh and when I say he is not an aggressive chewer, that does not apply to "Football Sunday" see below (the name of his toy is Football Sunday) or his other soft toys.

"Football Sunday" (yes that is the name of his football, the now 2 pieces of leather scraps) was a wonderful toy, many hours spent outside playing ball and even inside during the games.  He knew it by name and would go find it in the yard when asked.  He may not aggressively chew antlers, but he sure took Football Sunday for a whirlwind adventure.

 HERE IS THE ORIGINAL FULL STORY:

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 antler chews 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 dog bone 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 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!!!

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