One Each vs. One for the House
| Feature | One antler per dog | One for the house |
|---|---|---|
| Who has it | Each dog has its own, in its own spot | Whoever gets there first |
| Size | Matched to each dog's weight band | One size for every dog |
| Wear | You can see how each one is wearing | Hard to tell how much each dog has chewed |
| Cost per order | One antler per dog, from $18.49 each | One antler, so less up front |
Some multi-dog homes share chews without trouble. Every dog is different.
Each Dog Gets Its Own, in Its Own Spot
A chew is something dogs may guard, and one antler on the floor gives them a reason to. Hand each dog an antler of its own, put the dogs in different spots, and stay in the room while they chew. If your dogs have never shared a chew without trouble, an antler is not the place to test it.
Watch for the warning signs. Stiffening, growling, or one dog hovering over another dog's antler. If you see any of them, pick the antlers up and separate the dogs.
Size Each Antler for the Dog It's For, Then Pick It Up
Small is for dogs 5 to 25 lb, Medium 25 to 45, Large 45 to 65, Extra Large 65 to 85, and Giant 85 and over. Size each antler for the dog that will chew it, and check that it is too big to fit entirely in that dog's mouth.
The tricky case in a mixed house is a big dog that ends up with a small dog's antler. It can fit entirely in a big mouth. So pick antlers up when the session ends instead of leaving them on the floor. The opposite swap isn't a fit either: the weight band is chosen for the dog doing the chewing.
Two small dogs? Small antlers come as a 2-pack.
Which antler fits each dog?
Pick a type and sizePick the Type for Each Dog, Not for the House
Deer is generally harder and denser than elk. Whole elk keeps the dense outer shell around the marrow. Split elk is cut open, which makes it the easier introduction for a dog that ignores a whole antler. Mixing types in one house is normal: a patient gnawer and a dog that loses interest quickly may suit different ones.
Don't reach for a harder type because a dog chews fast. If one of your dogs is a hard biter, ask your vet first. See reason six.
Two Antlers in the Same Size Won't Match
Antler is natural, so thickness and shape vary from piece to piece, even within one size. When your order arrives, set the antlers side by side and hand each dog its own. If one is thinner, expect it to wear sooner and check it more often. This is the most common complaint in a two-antler order, and it is in our reviews.
“I like the antlers but there is a Size disparity, I ordered two antlers because I have two dogs. The thin one is going to be gone long before the other one.”

One Dog in the House May Need to Skip It
Antlers are very hard. They can fracture teeth, and swallowed pieces can cause choking or a blockage. In a multi-dog home, the question comes up for each dog separately, and the answer can differ. If one dog should skip antlers, keep antlers out of that dog's reach. Ask your vet whether a hard chew suits each dog.
Skip antlers for
- Puppies still losing baby teeth
- Senior dogs with worn or brittle teeth
- Dogs with dental damage or a past tooth fracture
- Dogs that bite down hard with the back teeth
Retire the antler when
- It's small enough to fit entirely in your dog's mouth
- It has a sharp edge or a split that catches a fingernail
- Your dog is swallowing pieces instead of shaving the surface
Supervise every session, one dog at a time if you can. Start with 10 to 15 minutes. Take the antler away if a dog is biting down hard instead of gnawing.

Questions Owners Ask
Can my dogs share one antler?
We'd give each dog its own and supervise. Sharing is where guarding and squabbles can start. If your dogs have never shared a chew well, don't start with an antler.
Do all my dogs need the same size?
No. Pick the weight band for each dog: Small 5 to 25 lb, Medium 25 to 45, Large 45 to 65, Extra Large 65 to 85, Giant 85 and over. It should be too big to fit entirely in that dog's mouth.
What if my small dog takes the big dog's antler?
Pick up antlers between sessions so swaps don't happen. The weight band is chosen for the dog doing the chewing, so a much bigger antler than your small dog's band is not the goal, and a big dog with a small antler is the bigger concern. Supervise and separate the dogs.
Can I mix deer, whole elk and split elk?
Yes. Deer is generally harder and denser than elk. Whole elk keeps the dense outer shell. Split elk is the easier introduction if a dog ignores a whole antler at first.
What are the risks of an antler?
Antlers can fracture teeth, and swallowed pieces can cause choking or a blockage. Supervise, size correctly, and retire the antler when it gets small or sharp. Ask your vet whether a hard chew suits each of your dogs.
