What Makes Allagash Antlers Better
Not All Antlers Are Equal
Most antlers sold online or in big box stores are years old by the time they reach your dog. They’ve been stored, dried out, and resold long before they ever get chewed. We only sell antlers from the most recent shed season. That means denser structure, better texture, and a chew that performs the way it should. Fresher antlers wear more evenly, last longer, and smell less than aged antlers.
Built for Real Chewers
Many antlers are cut and sold to look uniform on a shelf, not to hold up under real chewing. We size, cut, and finish our chews based on how dogs actually use them. That means selecting the right density, shaping for better grip, and sanding edges for safe, controlled wear. The result is a chew that lasts longer, breaks down more predictably, and keeps dogs engaged without splintering or excess waste.
Sourced by Us
We source antlers the same way we choose chews for our own dogs. Some come directly from our own shed collection each season, and others come from trusted regional partners who meet our standards for freshness and handling. Every antler is then hand selected, cut, and finished by our team before it ever ships. No blind reselling. No mixed quality. Just chews we stand behind.
Quick Answers
The most common questions we get from dog owners based on 30,000+ orders
Are these safe for my dog?
Yes, when sized correctly. All Allagash Antlers are naturally shed, cleaned, cut, and sanded for safe chewing. Always choose a size based on your dog’s weight and chewing strength, and supervise during use.
Do your antlers splinter?
Antlers are a natural chew, so they wear down over time. Fresh, dense antlers like ours are designed to wear gradually rather than splinter. We hand cut and sand every antler to reduce sharp edges and weak points, and we always recommend proper sizing and supervised chewing.
ow do these compare to deer or elk antlers?
Moose antlers are denser and less brittle than deer or elk, which allows for slower, more controlled wear. They also contain more marrow, keeping dogs engaged longer while reducing the chance of splintering when properly sized. For heavy chewers, this typically means fewer replacements over time.
How long does this chew last?
Most dogs chew on a single antler for months to over a year. Actual lifespan depends on chewing strength.
Does it smell or make a mess?
No.
Our moose antler chews are zero odor, mess free, and contain no preservatives or additives.
What size should I choose?
Choose based on your dog’s weight and chewing intensity. If your dog is a strong chewer, we recommend sizing up.
When should I take it away?
When the antler becomes small enough to fit fully inside your dog’s mouth, it’s time to replace it with a fresh antler chew.
Why Moose Antlers?
Denser, not brittle:
Moose antlers are naturally denser than deer or elk, which allows them to wear more slowly while being less brittle. That means more controlled chewing and no risk of splintering when properly sized.
Longer-lasting chew time:
Moose antlers contain significantly more marrow and wear down more slowly, keeping dogs engaged longer and reducing how often chews need to be replaced.
Ideal for serious chewers:
Designed for dogs that destroy standard chews quickly. Moose antlers hold up better than softer antlers and synthetic alternatives.
Clean, single-ingredient:
No synthetics, coatings, or preservatives. Just naturally shed moose antler with zero odor and no mess.
From the wild to your dog
Allagash Antlers started in the North Woods of Maine, where we spend our spring hiking hundreds of miles in search of naturally shed moose antlers with our trained shed dogs.
That hands on experience set the standard. Every antler is hand selected, cut, and sanded to meet the same durability and safety expectations we have for our own dogs.
The result is a cleaner, fresher chew that lasts longer than mass-produced alternatives.
Moose antlers and working dogs are what we know, and it shows in every chew.
