Are your antlers safe for all dog sizes?

Yes! Our antlers come in a variety of sizes and hardness levels to suit every dog’s needs—from puppies to power chewers.

How are the antlers collected?

We partner with local collectors who ethically gather naturally shed antlers in the Rocky Mountains. No animals are harmed, and the process supports local wildlife conservation.

How long do the antlers last?

With proper size selection, an antler chew can last anywhere from several weeks to a few months, depending on your dog’s chewing habits.

What's the difference between whole and split antlers?

Whole antlers are ideal for dogs who love a good challenge. Split antlers expose the inner marrow, making it easier for dogs with sensitive teeth or those new to antlers.

What does "naturally shed" mean?

"Naturally shed" means that the antlers we use are collected after deer, elk, or moose naturally shed them as part of their yearly growth cycle. No animals are harmed in the process—just nature doing its thing!

How do antlers help with boredom?

Antlers provide long-lasting chewing satisfaction, engaging your dog’s natural instincts and keeping their minds occupied. They’re perfect for combating boredom, reducing destructive behaviors, and giving your pup a safe outlet for their energy.

Are antlers good for my dog's nutrition?

Yes! Antlers are packed with natural nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, glucosamine, and iron. These minerals promote strong bones, healthy joints, and overall wellness, making antlers a nutritious treat as well as a fun chew.

How do I pick a size?

Choose an antler size based on your dog’s breed, weight, and chewing habits. Larger, tougher antlers are great for aggressive chewers, while smaller options work well for puppies or gentle chewers. Our size guide can help you find the perfect fit, and we’re always here to assist!
