Natural Composition & Nutritional Benefits

Elk antlers are naturally rich in essential minerals that support your dog's overall health:

• Calcium: Supports strong bones and teeth
• Phosphorus: Aids in energy production and cellular function
• Glucosamine: Promotes joint health and cartilage maintenance
• Manganese & Zinc: Support immune system function and skin health
• Protein & Collagen: Found in the marrow, supports muscle and connective tissue health

Usage Guidelines & Safety

Supervision Recommended: Always supervise your dog during chew sessions, especially when introducing antlers for the first time. Remove the antler if it becomes small enough to be a choking hazard or if sharp edges develop.

Introduction Tips: Some dogs take to antlers immediately, while others need encouragement. Try rubbing a small amount of peanut butter on the marrow to entice reluctant chewers.

Chew Time: Limit initial chew sessions to 15-20 minutes to allow your dog's jaw muscles to adjust, then gradually increase duration as they become accustomed to the hardness.

Care & Maintenance

Elk antlers require minimal maintenance. Simply rinse with water if needed and allow to air dry. Store in a dry location when not in use. The antler will naturally wear down over time as your dog chews, exposing fresh layers of marrow.
