Elk Antlers - 100% Natural

Each spring, male elk shed their antlers so a fresh set can grow. The antlers are collected and shipped to Urban Dog where they are cleaned, sterilized, cut into specific sizes and sharp edges sanded. All Elk are raised on government-inspected Canadian farms. No animals are harmed to create this product. ONLY AVAILABLE TO CANADIAN CUSTOMERS

As with any dog treat or chew toy, ALWAYS monitor your dog when giving antler chews. Discard when they get short, before any pieces can be swallowed.

Q: What can I do if my dog isn’t interested in the chew?

A: The first thing to try is to just wet the exposed cut ends. This brings out the smell that most dogs find irresistible. Some people will add flavor to the chews by soaking them in meat juices or smearing them with peanut butter. Once the dog begins to chew, the flavor emerges. Two of our dogs will only chew the split antlers; they have absolutely no interest in the whole ones. Our youngster chews on both: a whole one will last a month, the split a day.
