The Six Checks at a Glance
| Check | What to look for on any listing | Heartland listing |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Pieces | Whether the price covers one antler or a pack | Small sizes are 2-packs. Medium to Giant are single antlers |
| 2 · Size | A dog-weight range, not only S, M or L | Five ranges, from 5 to 25 lb up to 85+ lb |
| 3 · Sourcing | "Naturally shed" and a country of origin, not only "natural" | Naturally shed, Grade A, sourced in the USA |
| 4 · Arrival | Surface, cracks and fit when the box opens | Checklist in reason 4 |
| 5 · Skip list | Which dogs should skip antlers, and a vet line | Reason 5, below |
| 6 · Returns | What the policy says about a chewed antler | Items in the condition received. A chewed antler can't be returned |
The middle column describes what to check on any listing from any seller. It makes no claim about a specific seller. We are not the lowest price and don't claim to be.
Divide the Price by the Number of Pieces
A price only means something once you know what it buys. Some listings sell one antler and some sell a pack. At Heartland, the Small sizes are 2-packs and Medium through Giant are single antlers, so the $20.99 Small deer 2-pack works out to about $10.50 per antler.
Then add shipping. Standard shipping is $7.95 and it's free on orders of $50 or more. A single Medium deer at $19.99 comes to $27.94 delivered if it's the only item in the cart.
The math on any listing: price, divided by the number of pieces, plus shipping. Subscribe & Save here takes 20% off your first order (that Medium deer is $15.99) and 10% off after (about $17.99). Prices checked November 4, 2026.
“This antler keeps him busy … The big ones last a while and keeps his interest so I feel like it's a good value.”
Every dog chews differently, so how long one lasts is up to your dog.
Read the Weight Range, Not Just Small, Medium or Large
Size words aren't standard from one seller to the next, so a listing that gives a dog-weight range is easier to check. Weight is the starting point, and chew style matters as much. Whatever size you pick, it should be too big to fit entirely in your dog's mouth. Deer is generally harder and denser than elk.
| Size | Dog weight | Deer | Whole elk | Split elk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 5 to 25 lb | $20.99 (2-pack) | $24.49 (2-pack) | Sold out |
| Medium | 25 to 45 lb | $19.99 | $18.49 | $19.99 |
| Large | 45 to 65 lb | $25.99 | $29.79 | $21.99 |
| Extra Large | 65 to 85 lb | $36.99 | $39.99 | $28.99 |
| Giant | 85+ lb | $39.99 | $64.99 | $40.99 |

“I did wash them off but didn't notice any smells or anything. Decent size for the price.”
Look for the Words Naturally Shed and a Country of Origin
"Natural" on its own doesn't tell you whether an antler was dropped by the animal or taken. "Naturally shed" and a stated country of origin do. If a listing doesn't say, ask the seller before you buy.
Heartland sells naturally shed antler, graded Grade A and sourced in the USA. It's one ingredient, with no meat and no rawhide.
About "Grade A": it is our own grading, not a third-party certification. Ask any seller what theirs means. A clear answer is a good sign.

Pick a type and sizeCheck the Surface the Day It Arrives
Antlers vary in color, shape and thickness because they're natural, so color alone isn't a verdict. What you can check is the condition of this piece, before your dog starts on it.
- Run a fingernail along the surface and the cut ends. Flaking, or a split that catches a nail, is a reason to stop.
- Look for cracks that run deep into the antler.
- Hold it up to your dog's mouth. It should be too big to fit in entirely.
If anything looks wrong, contact the seller before your dog chews it. For ours, that's info@heartlandantlers.com.

ContinueAntlers are hard chews and can fracture teeth. Not for puppies, seniors with worn teeth, or dogs that crack hard objects. Details below.
Look for a Listing That Says Who Should Skip It
Antlers are very hard. They can fracture teeth, and swallowed pieces can cause choking or a blockage. Size, grade and supervision lower the risk but don't remove it, and no chew is safe for every dog. A seller who tells you who should skip it is giving you something you can check. Ask your vet whether a hard chew suits your 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. Start with 10 to 15 minutes. Take it away if your dog is biting down hard instead of gnawing.
Read the Return Policy Before You Pay
A chewed antler is hard for any seller to take back, so read what the policy says about it before you order. Ours covers items in the condition you received them, which means a chewed antler can't be returned. That's why the size and type matter up front. If your dog ignores a whole antler, split elk is the easier introduction.

Questions Owners Ask
Is Heartland the cheapest antler online?
No, and we don't claim to be. We can't see every other listing, so use the six checks on this page. Our prices run from $18.49 to $64.99 per listing, depending on size and type (checked November 4, 2026).
How do I compare a 2-pack with a single antler?
Divide the price by the number of pieces. Our Small sizes are 2-packs, so the $20.99 Small deer is about $10.50 per antler. Also compare the dog-weight range, because a Small is sized for 5 to 25 lb dogs.
What does Grade A mean here?
It's our own grading of the pieces we sell, not a third-party certification. Ask any seller what their grade means before you rely on it.
How do shipping and Subscribe & Save change the price?
Standard shipping is $7.95 and it's free on orders of $50 or more. Subscribe & Save takes 20% off your first order and 10% off after, with delivery every 1, 2 or 3 months.
What should I check when it arrives?
Run a fingernail along the surface and cut ends, look for deep cracks, and check it's too big to fit entirely in your dog's mouth. If something looks wrong, email info@heartlandantlers.com before your dog chews it.
Can I return an antler my dog won't chew?
Our return policy covers items in the condition you received them, so a chewed antler can't be returned. If your dog ignores a whole antler, try split elk. Questions: info@heartlandantlers.com.
