Product Information

Here, we look at a variety of antler dog treats and explore whether they’re a safe fit for your dog and your family’s lifestyle. Are Antlers Safe for Dogs? When it comes to whole antlers, you have the options of elk or deer antlers. Deer antlers are harder than elk antlers and recommended for super chewers. We do not recommend deer antlers for puppies or senior dogs who have sensitive teeth. Instead, we recommend starting with split elk antlers for puppies.

Dog chewing—so long as it isn’t destructive chewing—is a perfectly normal behavior for both puppies and adults that helps keep their jaws strong, their teeth clean, and which can relieve boredom and other anxieties. When it comes to dog chewing, pet parents have a litany of options to choose from, including traditional dog bones, chew toys, and animal rawhides. If your puppy is teething, or you just want to find something for your puppy to chew on, there are plenty of great toys specifically designed for this. Veterinary OpinionsAntlers for dogs are an excellent source of protein and amino acids, which are vital for the body function of canines. These dog chews are also loaded with various minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. Although there are potential benefits associated with antlers for dogs, there are also significant health risks associated with these chews. Your safest bet is to avoid antler chews and use an alternative chew product. Reindeer antlers (also known as caribou in North America) are effectively the same as deer or elk antlers…with the exception that your antler treats may come from females as well as males. Split Antlers for Dogs

In addition to their small teeth, puppies also have growing bones that are not yet fully mature. In some cases, a puppy’s jaw may not tolerate the force of chewing on an antler. This can lead to a jaw fracture. For similar reasons, small breed dogs are also more susceptible to damage to their teeth and jaws, so choosing an appropriately sized antler or avoiding them altogether is essential. At what age can puppies have split antlers?These are great for puppies, seniors, and dogs that are not chew-motivated. It is easier for them to chew and makes them access the bone marrow without much effort. Unlike nylon, rawhide or beef bones, elk antler dog chews are 100% natural, won't splinter or create a smelly mess on your carpet or furniture. Dogs find elk antler chews irresistible and they are full of essential minerals such as calcium, zinc, magnesium and glucosamine that will keep your pet happy and healthy. Antler chews are also a terrific way to keep your pups teeth clean and shiny by scraping the tartar buildup from their teeth. Not sure which antler size is best for your pup?
