Shop All Antler Chews for Dogs

Naturally shed antlers are dropped by deer and elk as part of their annual growth cycle. Heartland sources shed antlers in the USA. This describes origin; it does not establish dental safety.

Use body weight as the starting point: Small for 5-25 lb, Medium for 25-45 lb, Large for 45-65 lb, Extra Large for 65-85 lb, and Giant for 85+ lb. Check mouth fit and choose a piece too large to swallow. A larger antler does not remove tooth-fracture risk.

Antlers are very hard and can fracture teeth. Swallowed pieces can also cause choking or gastrointestinal obstruction. Heartland does not recommend antlers for puppies with developing teeth, senior dogs with worn teeth, dogs with existing dental damage or a prior tooth fracture, or dogs that bite down forcefully with their back teeth.

There is no guaranteed lifespan. Wear varies with the antler, its size, and your dog's chewing style. Retire it when it becomes small enough to fit fully in the mouth, develops a crack or sharp edge, becomes loose, or sheds pieces your dog is swallowing.

Breed alone does not determine whether an antler is suitable. Heartland does not recommend antlers for puppies with developing teeth, senior dogs with worn teeth, dogs with existing dental damage or a prior tooth fracture, or dogs that bite down forcefully with their back teeth. Ask your veterinarian if you are unsure.
