FAQ
Are antler chews safe for my dog?
Many dogs enjoy antler chews safely, but no chew is right for every dog. Antler is hard, and aggressive chewers can crack or chip a tooth on any very hard chew. Choose the right size, supervise every chew session, and ask your vet if your dog has dental issues, a sensitive stomach, or other health concerns. Split chews are a gentler option for many dogs.
Do I need to supervise my dog?
Yes, always. Stay nearby while your dog chews, and put the chew away when you're done. Check it regularly, and throw it out once it's small enough to swallow or has sharp edges or splinters.
When should I replace a chew?
Replace it once it's worn down enough to fit entirely in your dog's mouth, or if it cracks or splinters. A subscription keeps a fresh one on hand.
Where do your antlers come from?
Every antler is naturally shed and picked up on public land across Utah and the Mountain West, by our own crew and by fellow shed hunters we buy from. Deer and elk drop their antlers every year, so no antler is ever taken from an animal.
How are they processed?
Simply. Each antler is wiped down by hand to remove dirt, cut to size, and edge-rounded so there are no sharp cut edges. That's it. We don't add anything: no dyes, coatings, chemicals, or preservatives.
Whole or split? Deer or elk?
Whole chews last longer, and split chews are easier to start on. Deer is harder and denser, and elk is a bit softer at the core. For a hard chewer, start with whole deer. For a senior or a gentle chewer, start with split elk. For a young dog past the teething stage, split elk is the gentlest place to start, but check with your vet first.
Are they suitable for puppies?
As general guidance, antler chews aren't recommended for puppies who are still teething, usually those under about 6 months old, because their adult teeth are still coming in. Every dog is different, so check with your vet before giving an antler to a young dog, and always supervise.
Why does every chew look different?
They're natural. Size, color, and shape vary, but every chew we ship matches its listed size range.
