20 Best Elk Antlers For Dogs (2023 Updated)

Gnawtlers are nothing less than magical!! That’s not an exaggeration by any stretch! My pomsky, Lucy, has that notorious husky level energy, but unfortunately is also disabled (cerebellar hypoplasia).

There’s absolutely no way for her to run her energy out in the backyard because her motor skills are very underdeveloped. Taking long walks is impossible because she jumps uncontrollably, stumbles, & falls over every few meters/yards.

Chewing vigorously seems to be a really good release for her get up and go that got up and went. in utero. I crossed my fingers & purchased a medium split elk gnawtler, but she managed to annihilate it in less than a week.

I’d say that’s quite a feat for a 20lb dog!! So today I’m putting in a subscription order for the large to be delivered every month. along with the calming treats. Nothing but the best for my wobbly little doggo!.

We subscribed to receive the small split antler when my dog was a puppy. He loves to chew, and it was a helpful tool to keep him busy and to distract from our shoes (and everything else!) We’ve change to larger antlers as he’s grown, and now that he’s 65lb labrador, we’ve graduated to whole elk and large split elk.

They’re a great product, don’t smell, and our subscription has been on time every time. Great service, awesome product.

Unfortunately the enormous amount of BS marketing **** makes this company one I can’t continue to use. They don’t give up. I have made over a dozen requests to STOP sending any marketing emails and within two days another one shows up.

I would rather be buying directly from Putin than to continue with these guys. Good riddance.

I have a Mastiff mix & a German Shepard puppy, who both love this toy. It’s large, with the medullary cavity exposed. Compared to hollowed out bones, my dogs seem more attracted to this portion of the bones, which helps keep their attention.

The last one I ordered we’ve had for 1+ year, which helped me justify the price. My dogs have plenty of other toys so they don’t necessarily chew on it every day but they do chew on it 3-4x/week. I was reluctant to buy this product initially because the only review was 1/5 stars because of a terrible smell associated with it, but I’ve never noticed any foul smells with ours.

I also appreciate that this product is natural & made in the USA. I will be buying this again in the near future.

Great quality antler – I did some research before buying and learned that white ones mean they’re already old and dried out, which means they can be brittle and risky to give your pet. These ones are very fresh and the tiny pieces that he’s able to scrape off with his teeth are not super hard or sharp.

I like that this is whole and not a split antler – it just feels safer to give than having to worry about sharp pieces breaking off. He chews until relaxed and falls asleep every time. Always remember to monitor during use.

Like many others who have reviewed this product, I found that most of the antlers included in my package were just barely over 4 inches, with one or two actually below 4 inches, in length, and they were also quite skinny.

Some I feel a little nervous to give to my medium-sized dog in fear that she will easily swallow them. Seems silly to describe them as ranging in size from 4-6 inches (quite a large range, in my opinion) when the company clearly has no intention of including any antler even close to 6 inches.

Aside from this, they don’t appear to be any lower quality than other antlers I’ve purchased.

Purchased these a year ago and was impressed at the size of them. This time they came and the diameter was so much smaller. Perhaps because when we ordered them last time we didn’t get the tip portion.

contacted customer service and was told I could send them back (at my expense) and order new ones and they would give me “non-tip” versions. Honestly wasn’t worth the time. I donated and went to our local pet store and bought them.

OK these really stink. They also still had marrow inside that was red so no idea how old they were and smell like they are rotting. I bought three of the jumbo sized bones and I let them chew on them each evening under supervision.

My greatest concern isn’t the smell because they are natural antlers. My concern is if these weren’t boiled whether the dogs can get brucellosis or other diseases. Nothing in the description about where these elk are being harvested or if the antlers are boiled/steamed first or not.

Jack Russell Terriers are amazing dogs. Chewing can become destructive. This stops that. He loves to chew on this. No more furniture chewing. Love this product.

We love the Gnawtlers! My pup is an extreme chewer and he loves his Gnawtler that arrives in the mail! I feel grateful that he has something safe that will withstand his chewing. If my little guy can bite it off he swallows it, but so thankful he can’t with the Gnawtlers! Also love that they are non-toxic, animal-friendly and environmentally clean product!.

This is the first time I have tried Happy Dog antlers for Calli. I am pleased with the thickness and width compared to others I have bought – the only complaint being that it is barely over 5 ” long and I think I ordered a larger size.

That has been a problem with other brands as well – the lengths vary too widely. OK – back to this one: I washed the antler first and left it to dry on a paper towel before giving it to Calli. When I got back to it, the marrow had stuck to the towel, left a bloody stain, and had a stinky odor – not unusual to have a smell after being chewed, so I guess I shouldn’t have left it marrow-side down on the towel.

Anyway, I smeared a little peanut butter on it and gave it to Calli, who refused to even lick it. She preferred her old nasty one to the new one. She has done this before, so I think she will eventually get used to it.

Overall, antler chews have been her favorites – they last a long time with her (she is not an aggressive chewer) – but you DO have to watch for signs of wear. Contrary to the descriptions, these chews WILL splinter and sometimes chunks break off – Calli has swallowed some fair-sized pieces, but so far no problems with passing them.

I would not recommend leaving a dog unsupervised with these or any other chews for that reason. At least if you know a piece was swallowed, you can be alert for problems. Once her chews show signs of thinning and flaking off on the ends, I saw off the weak parts and rasp the edges smooth.

As expensive as these things are, you want them to last as long as possible!.

My puppy loves this product. Keeps him from chewing my furniture or shoes . Highly recommended

Our Golden Retriever just loves his Cape Cod elk antler dog chew. It keeps him busy for hours and is big enough that he can’t choke. Love it!!!

I have bought Elk Antlers from Orvis on a number of occasions for several dogs, even our deceased Pit Bull/Lab Mix. She NEVER even got close to destroying one of the large elk antlers!!! I ordered a Medium Elk Antler for our new, 4 month old puppy.

She chewed on it for one evening & did not notice a problem. But the day I was busy with a project in the house & didn’t notice but within 5 hours the puppy had eaten ONE-HALF of the elk antlers – chewed from each end!!! It didn’t appear that pieces had broken off??? Edges were jagged! Called Vet he said watch her closely for any symptoms and especially if she cannot poop —- THEN BRING HER IN IMMEDIATELY!!!! My past experiences with Orvis Elk Antlers were excellent!!!!.

First time ever trying antler chews for my two labs. Bought large. One was a good size the other was inches smaller. Not sure if I was shipped a medium by mistake. The smaller one was gone in a day. The larger one they both have been chewing on and is still a fair size 2-3 weeks later.

Would order again if I new what I would get would last more than a day. I was hoping I had found a chew toy that would last. Unfortunately it appears they are hit or miss with these antlers.

Orvis Elk Antler Chews are the only chews our two Cardigan Corgis get (and the Golden Retriever and German Shepherd before them). I trust these chews, the dogs love them, and they last forever. They’re substantial, not like the deer antler chews one buys at the pet store.

I can’t recommend them highly enough.

My dog is a chewer and loves antlers, so this was a good size for him- but it’s the first antler that I’ve found little chunks on the floor from. Others have had little negligibly sized crumbs/residue from them but this one had ones that I wouldn’t want going straight into my dog’s throat (little jagged edges).

The little chunks are almost about the size of a kernel of corn for example. The price was nice, but it’s nothing without the quality.

Admittedly this item didn’t have specific dimensions listed for each of their elk antlers, but logic tells me that Medium should be bigger than a crayola marker. Nope. That’s about how big the medium size is.

Super disappointed. My 15lb shih-poo will have this chewed up within a day or two, max.

I have a super chewer 1yr old pittie mix. Even toys that are for extreme chewers, she will destroy in 15 min or less. This antler is the toughest item I have ever found!! It keeps her interest unlike “tough toys” and withstands her chewing.

I bought two because I also have a 5 month old pittie mix and I will say one was significantly smaller. However for the toughness and how much they like it, that’s almost a non-factor.

I bought these for my puppy Bassett Hound who is now one year old. He is an AVID chewer. I have bought several toys for him since I brought him home at 6 weeks old. I bought tug ropes, balls, rubber toys, pull stuffed toys, basically a wide variety of toys to keep his need to chew satisfied so he wouldn’t chew baseboards, socks, shoes, etc.

, (all of which he has done). These items did not usually last more than a day with the exception of the tug ropes. I bought this Elk antler and it was well worth the money. They are a bit pricey but when compared to the destruction that they can cause it is well worth the trade off.

He loved it! It also lasted about 2 weeks, and he chewed on it morning till we went to bed, and even then he would bring it to bed with him. I also noted that my St. Bernard would often try to get his paws on it when my Bassett wasn’t looking, but that usually wasn’t too often.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone with an avid chewer on their hands.

These are a great product. Most dogs are Naturally attracted to them but if not try a split antler. The exposed marrow will get their attention. Splits don’t last as long but they’re great to get started.

These are a great product for dogs who loves bones but chew and chew until they break and crack. I’m comfortable giving my dog these because they are not “cooked” bones. They don’t chip or splinter but instead wear away and act as a bonus source of calcium for the dog.

Also, great teeth cleaner! Any antler is great. Elk is softer, so again good for a dog new to antlers. Heavier chewers should go with deer. Moose and elk are larger but softer.

My 2 chocolate labs LOVE LOVE LOVE these bones! they chew them down till they cant no more but this bone also lasts quite a while than other bones. I only gave it 4/5 stars because I do get sick of stepping on them but besides that I 100% recommend for your dog especially if they like to chew on bones or other things they’re not supposed to!.

The antlers were labeled as large whole elk antlers, but definitely were not large. Unfortunately I purchased the elk antlers from Petco. com and didn’t personally pick them out. I went to a Petco store and returned the antlers, but before I did the employee’s let me look for replacement large elk antlers.

As I was looking I found antlers labeled medium that were larger than the antlers I received. Additionally the store was unable to give me the same discount that I received from shopping on Petco. com.

We have a lab that is a major chewer and when we found antlers it was awesome. I have purchased quite a few and these are so disappointing. skinny things! I am sure the “quality” is good but a ridiculous size for 20.

00 each. Not buying again and I think it’s sad they think these are large. They better not split!.

Antlers are natural and come from an animal which draws dogs to chew it. These antlers are very clean and big. The value pack is a better deal than buying a single antler, and nice because I have two dogs.

The chews last quite a while.

I purchased the X-Large 2 pack for my 30lb dog. Antler Chewz are good value, but I find the outer shell of the antler is thicker and less marrow middle than the This & That antlers. If I\’m buying more antlers, I will probably buy This & That antlers.

I have been buying Elk Antlers for my mini Bull Terriers for several years. They have powerful jaws and have always loved the flavor. Over the past few purchases I have noticed the antlers were getting smaller- thinner to be specific.

This last batch however were not just thin, they were also split down the center, exposing the marrow for about 3/4 of the piece. Mason the MBT chewed it down to about 3 inches in an hour. I have been paying top dollar as they have lasted two months.

This is not acceptable ad what we got was not what we ordered or expected.

I’ve purchased these 3 total times now with 5 individual antlers purchased. Of the 5, 2 were not great quality and my dog (8 months to 1 year golden doodle) would not chew 80% or more as the inner marrow was non-porous and did not flake off like it typically does.

The other 3 I’ve purchased have been great products and there have been long hours of my pup enjoying the antlers. They do leave a bit of a mess with white flakes being torn off the antler. The flakes seem to be the marrow.

This was the second time we have ordered this item. The first time the antler was what we expected. The second and most recent time the antler was very narrow and it was the narrow end of the antler.

I have a 120lb Daniff and he struggled with the antler being so skinny. Not sure if we will be a repeat customer in the future.

I buy these regularly and I am usually pleased with these antlers. I haven’t had any problems with them splintering, which happens when the antlers are old and brittle. And most of the time this package has 4 antlers with at least two being pretty good around diameter and 6 – 7 inches long.

I’m ok with that since it goes by weight and I know not every package will be all fat thick ones. But this last order was certainly disappointing. There were 5 antlers and all 5 were very skinny and about 6 inches long.

They were about as big around as my pinky and I have small hands. I gave the thicker three to my dogs and held onto the thinnest two in order to give to my mil who has a small dog. Reading recent reviews, this seems to be a trend lately.

So do I order again. or try a different brand?.

I love these for my very destructive pooch! He can chew through anything in an impressive amount of time, but these have him gnawing for days. They are definitely worth the money if you want a chew toy that won’t lose it’s desire in your pets eyes.

But they do tend to have an odor, so that’s something to consider for an inside/outside type of activity.

My pups absolutely love these! My boxer is allergic to just about everything including rawhide and my dachshund has a sensitive stomach. They are very few treats and chewies they can have. These are great and lasts about a month between my two.

Naturally shed antlers are certainly a pup favorite in my home! It keeps my dog busy and lasts for months! The best thing is, that it is a treat with one ingredient!! Something that we don’t see too often anymore! I also love how the antler doesn’t sliver like bones do.

And they don’t stink and are not greasy!.

We ordered this elk antler for our dog 4 months ago, and she’s still chewing on it! Talk about durable. Our dog is a 55 lb. Lab-mix, and I wouldn’t classify her as an aggressive chewer, but she chews on it daily and loves to play fetch with it.

I have purchased elk antlers for her before from the local grocery story, and not with the best results. One she went through in about a week and the other started splintering so bad, we took it away so she wouldn’t get injured.

This Deluxe Natural Elk Antler has not splintered at all, and she loves it! I would definitely recommend this for anyone’s dog.

These are the best and only elk antlers I will offer to Daisy (and I’ve tried many different ones). She loves them! Daisy is an aggressive chewer and these antlers hold up. I cut off the ends as she chews to sharp points (use an electric saw to do so).

The antlers I bought my “kids” for Christmas came promptly and as ordered. The giant antler is, indeed, giant! Since Christmas has not yet arrived, I can’t tell you how the kids like them.

These were really cute, used them for my Christmas card photos for my dachshund. They didn’t stay in as well as I would’ve liked, a couple fell off just a few minutes after putting them on with a shake of the head.

But they served my purpose of photos. Wouldn’t expect her to wear them for any long period of time though. But the bows are VERY nice looking, well made and super sparkly and adorable.

We have little dogs and I bought little antlers before that didn’t have exposed marrow and they could hardly care less. I mentioned this to someone at a pet store and they suggested I try ones with exposed marrow.

This is the smallest I could find for our 14 and 17 lbs dogs. They, however, don’t care that these things are huge. They’ve started getting the marrow out. Will definitely buy again in the future for their Christmas stockings!.

I first saw these in a local run pet store in Denver, CO. Since I have a dog who loves to chew and goes through rawhide, milkbones, bonies, etc. in a matter of minutes I thought I would give the antler a try on the owners recommendation.

It actually took Bella a year to completely chew her first antler. Everytime I visit my son in Denver I stop at that pet store to buy Bella a new antler. I was excited to see them available on Entirely Pets.

Only one drawback – when Bella settles in for a night of chewing her antler the TV volume has to be turned up because she is so loud. The first time I gave her an antler it sounded like she was breaking all her teeth.

All her teeth are still clean and intact, so if you have a hearty chewer this is the product for them.

I have 2 golden retrievers who I would call aggressive chewers. They have been known to destroy the toughest of toys, and I have tried them all. We love to take a stuffed toy for about 30 seconds and rip the stuffing right out.

The antler chews are the one thing I have found that I consider safe (I have never had one splinter) and the one thing they love to chew and it lasts for days. I don’t give my dogs any type of rawhide or bones that splinter, so my choices are limited.

Love these bones!!.

I was so excited to find this antler by Kong online. My 7-month-old Golden Retriever pup is a heavy chewer and can easily consume a chew toy meant to last for days in a few minutes. After reading the reviews, it seemed the only risk I was taking was how long it would take me to peel the glue off the antler so my pup could enjoy it.

Well, that wasn’t even worth a worry. I had the antler ready for my pup a few moments after unwrapping the item. Unfortunately, he just hasn’t taken to it. At all. It has been a few weeks and still nothing.

I’m sure it is just a matter of preference but I won’t be purchasing this particular product again.

I’ve bought this same antler twice now. The first time we got a huge antler that lasted a long time (it’s still around somewhere actually but the pup lost it so had to order a new one). The second order (same exact product) was half the size and somehow soft… our pup chewed through it in days and since it was already so much smaller than the first one we had to trash it before it became a choking hazard.

Not sure if I’ll buy this again due to the inconsistent product quality.

Assuming this review if for the Kong Antlers (the email is glitched and not showing what theyre asking me to review), I can say my dog loves em. I have a red nose pit and she can crush. So bones, hoofs, and buffalo horns were all epic fails.

Rawhide makes her farty so not doing those. These antlers are perfect. A. She cant crush them. B. They dont splinter or shard. C. They dont have much of a smell. And D. They last a few days vs. the 2 mins all the above mentioned lasted if they were extra thick.

If youre looking for a chew toy but your dog has a hydraulic jaw, this is an excellent option.

We have a 2 year old, 80 lb. Lab/Ridgeback mix named Jethro. He loves elk and moose antlers, which can be pricey but last the longest for tough chewers. When we unpacked this split antler, he went right to work, chewing on the marrow.

The price was very competitive relative to many online stores (including Eb*y!). This bone is Jethro-tested and Jethro-approved, which is the most important factor of all. We will very likely re-order when a new one is needed.

I love these Elk Antler Chews for my 2 dogs and they love them too. They are a great all natural product that I don’t have to worry about staining or stinking. I’m so grateful that I had a discount code when I bought them because even then.

they are VERY EXPENSIVE! The pros outweigh that one con, so I’ll probably buy them again.

My dogs all love these!! They last a while (if you don’t lose them) and are all natural, healthy, good for gums and teeth. The only negative is the price. Although I guess you do get what you pay for.

Great product!.

I have two Siberian Huskys and 1 Golden Retriever. I also bought my daughters two Siberian Huskys and her Chocolate Lab each one. They all have enjoyed their antlers. My three dogs still have some left.

It’s really funny my 1 year old Siberian Husky will steal the 10 year old Golden Retriever’s antler and bury it. I try to retrieve it without the 1 year old seeing it and give it back to my Golden. The dogs seem to really enjoy chewing on the antlers.

I can’t find anything that isn’t great about them.

These antlers were fairly skinny for the price. I think they’re good for dogs who enjoy chewing on harder objects. But my dog really enjoys the center of the antler, so I wish they specified these were not split.

Kept him occupied longer than other chew toys. He can’t have rawhide or even pig ski n cause he has a sensitive stomach. So far he has only gnawed on it with no big change bid coming off. Was a good size and quality.
