🛡️ Antler Safety Tips: How to Choose and Use Chews the Right Way

Antlers are one of the safest and longest-lasting natural dog chews — when used properly. Here’s how to make sure your dog stays happy, safe, and healthy:

🐾 1. Pick the Right Size

Always choose an antler that’s larger than your dog’s mouth. If it’s small enough to swallow or wedge in their throat, it’s too small.

Got Antler Tip: When in doubt, go up a size.

🦷 2. Monitor Chewing Time

Don’t leave your dog unattended for long stretches with any chew. Regularly inspect the antler for splinters or sharp edges.

📏 3. Know When to Toss It

Once the antler gets worn down to a sharp point or small stub, it’s time to toss and replace it.

🧪 4. Avoid Cheap or Imported Antlers

Not all antlers are the same. Low-grade antlers can crack easily and cause damage. Got Antler only carries Grade A & B USA-Sourced antlers for maximum safety and quality.

✅ 5. Split vs Whole

  • Split Antlers: Great for beginners or soft chewers (more marrow exposed)
  • Whole Antlers: Best for seasoned or powerful chewers
