Antler Dog Bones - FAQ

Why antlers for dogs?

all natural antler dog bone chew treatAntler 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! 

 

Whats the difference between “economy” & “premium”?

We offer 2 lines in four sizes to provide a good gnawing selection. Our dog bones are naturally shed antlers, gathered in the forest or on ranch lands at various times of the year, they are all weathered at different stages.

  • all natural antler dog bone chew treatall natural antler dog bone chew treatThe economy line is slightly more weathered which leads to discoloration and more hairline cracking. Some antlers never make it to market as 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 a short periods of time do not need to be concerned as much for the weathered effects of our economy line. In fact I highly recommend economy for these dogs as they can get the mineral benefit much easier. 

  • We recommend our premium line for very aggressive chewers as they are more dense which helps them last longer and have less chances of cracking.

Do you treat the antlers with anything?

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

How do you prepare the antlers for pets?

We cut them to the desired size and sort them by diameter to get the proper size appropriate for pets.  (see below)

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

As with ANY dog chew 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.  (see below)
