Our values as a company are to provide your dogs with the same high-quality healthy dog chew that we would give our own dogs. We strive for excellent customer service and every antler that ships from our facility have been visually checked by its founders to ensure quality and consistency. We buy only naturally shed antlers to make sure that no deer, moose or elk are harmed for the purpose of harvesting their antlers. We support local and national wildlife organizations with the mission of protecting animal populations and their habitat as well as shelters and pet adoption agencies.

Wholes will always last longer than splits, but most dogs prefer splits to whole antlers because it gets them right to the good stuff! So for the value, wholes are a better option but if your main objective is to provide your dog with a great tasting treat that will give them a great teeth cleaning splits are a great option!

This really depends on how hard of a chewer your pup is, but you can expect your antler chew to last as long as a nylon bone would last him/her. But unlike nylon, these antlers are 100% digestible and filled with calcium, glucosamine, and phosphorus. ​

Antlers are made of calcium and phosphorus. This makes the antlers easy on your dog's stomach and can even sooth pre-existing conditions. Additionally, they are naturally stock full of glucosamine and iron, making these chews excellent for your dog's joints and bones. Chewing these antlers also cleans your dog's teeth better than manufactured products. Lastly, because of the composition and density of the antler that differs from bone, these chews will not splinter making them a safer, longer-lasting alternative to other chew toys.

Summit Antler Chews sources only the highest quality naturally shed elk antlers from the USA. For more information on the nature of elk, deer, moose, and how they grow their antlers please see the About Antlers page.

The answer is- mostly! Antlers are incredibly long-lasting and durable and will stand up to the most enthusiastic chewers. Antlers are NOT recommended for dogs that like to 'snap' chews. Some dogs try to snap every chew they have and this is the exact kind of dog that we don't want to have something like an antler because they will not snap. This makes them safer as chews for most dogs but can cause problems for those dogs with that behavior in particular. If your dog snaps chews and you really want to try one anyway, send me a note in the checkout cart to give you a thicker one and I will make sure to provide the best chew for your dog! Bigger is always better for a dog like that!

Every year, the male elk grow and shed a set of antlers. We find the antlers after they have been shed by the wild animal. The alternative to this is some farmed elk have their antlers cut early to avoid injury to the other elk- this can result in a softer chew.

Our elk antler sizes correspond with dog sizes- so a petite elk will be best for a petite sized dog. Same for the other sizes, a large sized dog will need a large sized antler! To see the specific sizes we recommend for different sized dogs- please use our 'shop by dog size' feature! found: HERE
