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.

2. Split vs. Whole- Which should I choose?

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!

3. How long do they last?

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. 

​

4. What are the benefits of antlers?

Antlers are made of calcium and phosphorus. This makes the antlers easy on your dogs stomach and can even sooth pre-existing conditions. Additionally, they are naturally stock full of glucosamine and iron, making these chews excellent for your dogs joints and bones. Chewing these antlers also cleans your dogs teeth better than manufactured products. Lastly, because of the compositon 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.
