Why Antlers? Antlers are a solid bone tissue with a honeycombed structure, the fastest growing bone in the world. The outer-antler hardens protecting the delicious, calcium-rich inner honeycomb marrow.  The animals’ natural diet provides organic nutrients for the development of these antlers.  Dogs gnaw through the outer bone, cleaning their teeth and gums to get to the marrow. The marrow is packed with nutrients promoting overall health.

Every year male deer, elk, and moose throughout North America grow and shed their antlers. The shredding process is a prelude to the re-growth of larger, fuller antlers the following year. The entire shedding process takes a mere two to three weeks to complete, between January and April, after the autumn mating season draws to a close. The re-growth phase is two to four months and takes place over the summer. Antlers are used to attract and impress females, and to fight with male competitors for the females' affections.  In successive years, as the deer matures, his antlers lengthen and he acquires additional branches. One can actually determine the age of the deer from the number of branches on his antlers, as their number increases with his age.

These naturally-shed antlers are collected from farms and woods by a variety of antler collectors. Many of our Antler Dog Chews were collected in Yellowstone National Park by the Boy Scouts of America. Boy Scouts collect them to raise money for their troops and are the only people authorized for antler collection inside the park. They sell them to one of our suppliers and we subsequently acquire them. We have several suppliers other than the Yellowstone connection but all of our antlers are collected in the USA and all are naturally shed.

When brought to the marketplace, antlers are graded 1 through 4. Number 1's are the freshest and number 4's are the antlers that have spent years on the ground losing most of their nutritional value. Our Antler Dog Chews are made exclusively from number 1's and 2's. This quality means more nutritional value and no splintering.

Deer, elk, and moose's diets consist of all natural vegetation ensuring healthy, organic antler growth. These Antler Dog Chews are cleaned with a very mild USDA approved food cleaner as needed and the sharp edges are sanded to avoid injuring the dogs or the package. That is all the processing needed.  We keep our antlers as natural and organic as possible. They are not exposed to hormones, steroids, or artificial flavoring. A healthy and natural alternative to other dog chews, American-Sourced Antler Dog Chews are a long-lasting, durable dog chew you can give your dog and watch as your pet enjoys this natural treat. As with all dog chews, we recommend that your dog is supervised when given this treat.
