Dogs love to chew, and this healthy behavior helps strengthen jaw muscles and keep teeth clean. Antler chews offer an eco-friendly alternative to rawhides or bone treats.
Elk antlers from animals such as moose and deer naturally shed each year, providing safe chew treats for dogs to chew on. Unfortunately, antlers may shatter and cause tooth damage in some instances.

Health Benefits
Antler chews provide an odorless, long-lasting and chemical-free alternative to rawhide and bones for dogs looking for natural chew options that provide essential calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals to strengthen teeth and bones.
Our antler chews come from the naturally shed antlers of animals like elk, whitetail deer and moose that are harvested without harm to these species. Made up of 100% pure antler material without artificial additives or preservatives – no one could ask for more!
At Antler Chews we provide antler chews in different sizes so you can select the ideal one for your pup. Make sure it fits slightly larger than their mouth and monitor their chewing habits to remove antler chews before they get too small for their pet to consume safely. Also be sure to sterilize antler chews by boiling for one or two minutes to eliminate bacteria growth, prolong their longevity, and protect against potential health risks.
Safety Concerns
Antler chews are generally safe for dogs to chew under proper supervision; however, some veterinarians advise against them due to dental concerns, choking hazards and internal damage risks.
Dogs that chew antlers may fracture their teeth or consume splinters that cause internal damage to the stomach and intestines, and even puncture their mouth or throat, often necessitating immediate medical intervention – often life-threatening consequences!
Antlers are harvested sustainably from deer and elk without harm, making them an eco-friendly option. Packed with calcium, potassium, iron and zinc nutrients, antler chews should be regularly monitored by their owner to look out for sharp edges or cracks; any that become too small could pose choking hazards; any time there are signs that something is amiss it should be brought up with your vet right away.
Chewing Habits
Dogs enjoy chewing as a means of exploring their environment, relieving discomfort caused by new tooth growth and maintaining oral hygiene. Antler chews offer durable and long-term solutions with consistent textures for teeth without creating slimy choking hazards or foul smells like rawhide or bone chews do. Antlers also provide healthy sources of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium which contributes to dental hygiene and overall wellness in pets.
Select an antler chew that best meets the size and chewing habits of your pet. Whole antlers feature dense centers which can challenge harder chewers while split antlers are easier to chew and may last longer.
Monitor your dog closely when he or she is chewing antlers or other hard chew toys, to avoid breaking their teeth or choking on them. Also speak with your veterinarian regarding how long he or she should spend chewing antlers and hard toys to avoid over-chewing or choking hazards.
Choosing the Right Chew
There is an array of chew toys and bones for dogs available today. Chewing is an integral part of their health and wellbeing; it helps them keep their teeth clean, strengthen their jaw muscles and can even help relieve anxiety or boredom. When selecting chew toys for your pup it is crucial that they find something they enjoy chewing on – make sure that it fits them!
Elk antler chews offer your dog an all-natural, sustainable, cruelty-free chew solution. Derived from deer or elk that naturally shed their antlers each year and free from artificial additives, preservatives or colors, these natural chews are harvested.
Antlers can cause irreparable damage if your dog chews too aggressively on them, chipping teeth and damaging gums as a result. Therefore, it’s crucial that you observe them while they chew in order to ensure they do not swallow any antler pieces and choke on any. You should take away their chew when it becomes small enough to be considered choking hazards and ensure your pup receives their necessary chewing experience without risk. This way you ensure their enjoyment without risk to their safety.
