Benefits of Antlers for Dogs?
When looking at an antler, it's easy to see why dogs love to play with them. Antlers are durable toys and safe to play with because they do not splinter easily. This saves you a significant sum of money because you get one toy that immediately connects with the natural senses of our dogs.
1. Dental Health
Perhaps the biggest and most bizarre advantage of antlers. Considering that it is a hard chew, antlers do an amazing job of keeping our dog's teeth clean. Chewing on its hard surface gets rid of plaque and tartar buildup.
Over time, antlers have also helped redirect destructive tendencies and anxiety into beneficial chewing exercises. Dogs with more destructive tendencies tend to keep antlers for a long time.
For dogs that chew especially hard, durability becomes even more important. We break down the toughest options in our guide to best dog chews for aggressive chewers.
2. Durability
Antlers are less likely to splinter or crack than bones. Our antlers are very durable and have no odors, additives, or preservatives, so they stay 100% natural, and 9 out of 10 dogs will love them.
3. Packed With Nutrients
Antlers are rich in calcium and phosphorus for stronger bones and teeth. Antlers also contain minerals such as magnesium and sodium, which make for a nice treat.
Choose the Right Moose Antlers For Your Dog
Antler chews vary in shape, thickness, color, and weight. Because we collect our antlers naturally, no two are alike. Choosing the right antler for your dog all depends on its chewing aggression. The size and thickness will all be considered sufficient depending on what your dog prefers.
