Nature’s Ultimate Dog Chew
All About Antlers
In the spring, elk antlers begin as soft, velvety structures filled with blood vessels and covered in a delicate layer of skin. As mating season nears, hormonal changes trigger the antlers to harden at the base, cutting off the blood flow to the velvet. That velvet naturally sheds, revealing solid bone beneath. These now-hardened antlers become powerful tools for marking territory and engaging in epic sparring matches—rituals of dominance that echo across the rugged wilds of the American West.
When winter arrives and the mating season ends, mature male elk naturally shed their antlers, leaving them behind on forest floors and mountain slopes. In nature, these antlers rarely go to waste—animals like squirrels, chipmunks, birds, and even coyotes gnaw on them to access their rich mineral content.
Responsibly Sourced from the Wild
At Summit Dog Chews, we take part in this natural cycle by responsibly gathering these naturally shed elk antlers from the Rockie Mountains of North America. This process is 100% cruelty-free and eco-conscious—we never harm animals or disrupt habitats. Each antler is then carefully hand-cut, and inspected to create a safe, high-quality chew for your pup.
You get a natural, long-lasting dog chew straight from the wild, and your dog gets a taste of nature in its purest form.
