Our Story - Allagash Antlers

Allagash Antlers started in the Maine woods, not as a business plan, but as time spent outside doing something we genuinely enjoyed.

Like a lot of people here, we spent our free time hiking, exploring, and shed hunting. What began as a hobby slowly turned into something more once we realized how hard it was to find fresh, high-quality antlers that actually held up for dogs. Around that same time, our Australian Shepherd, Finley, showed an uncanny talent for finding sheds. From there, things naturally grew.

We began sourcing antlers ourselves each season, learning what made a good chew and what didn’t. Density mattered. Freshness mattered. How an antler was cut and finished mattered. Most of what we saw on the market didn’t meet the standards we wanted for our own dogs.

That became the foundation of Allagash Antlers.

Today, we still source antlers directly from the field each year, and when we supplement inventory through trusted partners, every antler is held to the same standard. Each one is hand selected, cut, and sanded before it ever reaches a customer. No shortcuts. No blind reselling.

Our focus is simple: provide dogs with natural chews that are safer, cleaner, and last longer than mass-produced alternatives.

We don’t try to overcomplicate it. We spend time in the woods, work with trained shed dogs, handle the product ourselves, and stand behind what we sell. That approach has earned the trust of thousands of dog owners, and it’s something we take seriously.

Thanks for being here and for supporting a small business built on time outside, real work, and dogs that love to chew.
