WHOLE, SINGLE SPLIT & DOUBLE SPLIT ANTLERS

DOUBLE SPLIT (LONG LASTING) – These expose more of the Pumice-like marrow, making it easier on your dog’s teeth to chew and enjoy.   This will impact on the longevity of the chew, but we would rather a dog more safely enjoys their antler with less risk of tooth damage than to have a long lasting chew that is tougher on their teeth.

Most of our Small and Medium Split, and some of our Large and Extra LargeSplit antlers are made this way, to be more gentle on smaller and older dog’s teeth.  We also recommend our Large or Extra Large double split for larger older dogs.

SINGLE SPLIT (LONGER LASTING) – This cuts the antler in half, exposing the marrow.  These won’t last as long as the whole antler but are a bit easier on your  dog’s teeth and the exposed marrow is very desirable.

All of our Jumbo, Most of our XL , Large and some of our Medium Split antlers are made this way.

• Note – For older, larger dogs, we recommend our Large or XL  Double Split

WHOLE ANTLERS (LONGEST LASTING) – These are the longest lasting form with marrow exposed only on one or both ends.  The outer portion of the antler is the hardest, thus makes these the longest lasting.  They can be tougher on your dog’s teeth, thus we do not recommend Whole Antlers for puppies, older dogs, or dogs with dental issues.

We offer whole antlers in all 5 sizes – Small, medium Large, Extra large and Jumbo.
