More and more responsible caregivers are looking for safe and durable deer antlers to keep their dogs entertained and take care of their dental health. Deer antlers for dogs have become one of the most popular dog chews due to their many benefits.
In this blog, we explain what they are, why they are an excellent choice and how to choose the best one for your furry friend.
What are deer antlers for dogs?
Deer antlers are natural antlers that male deer shed annually and are completely painless. These antlers are then harvested, cleaned and cut into different sizes to become a natural and durable dog snack.
They are 100% natural, sustainable and contain no artificial additives.
Benefits of deer antler for dogs
✅ Dental health
The constant rubbing of the tooth against the shaft acts like a natural toothbrush, helping to remove tartar and prevent plaque.
Promotes healthier gums and fresher breath.
✅ Durable teether
Unlike other snacks that are gone in minutes, deer antlers can last for weeks or even months, depending on the dog.
✅ Nutritional contribution
They are rich in minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and zinc.
They provide natural collagen, which is beneficial for joints and tissues.
✅ 100% natural and allergy-free
Free from cereals, preservatives, colourings and chemicals.
Suitable for dogs on natural or hypoallergenic diets.
Are deer antlers safe for all dogs?
In general, yes, but it is important to bear in mind some recommendations:
Choose the right size for your dog’s weight and bite.
Supervise the first few uses to make sure it does not bite too hard.
Not suitable for very young puppies, dogs with dental or chewing problems.
If the shaft becomes chipped or excessively worn, remove it and replace it with a new one.
How to choose a good deer antler?
At Maikai Pets, we select deer antlers from natural falls in European forests, without harming the animals. What you should bear in mind:
Size: should be at least the size of the dog’s muzzle.
Premium quality: No aggressive heat treatments or varnishes.
Whole or split: Splits (cut lengthwise) are easier for dogs with a less powerful bite.
How often can you chew an antler?
Antlers should not replace food, but should be seen as a supplement or entertainment. Ideally:
Sessions of 10 to 20 minutes daily, especially after walks or times of stress.
Remove it when not in use to avoid excessive wear and tear or concealment.
