Elk Antlers: The Perfect Chew for Your Dog's Health and Happiness

Elk antlers have become a popular chew for dogs due to their many health benefits. Antlers are a great source of calcium, phosphorus, and other important minerals that support strong bones and teeth. They are also rich in collagen, which can help improve skin and coat health, as well as joint health. Additionally, elk antlers are a long-lasting chew, which can help promote dental health by keeping your dog's teeth clean and strong. Unlike traditional rawhide chews, elk antlers do not pose a choking hazard, making them a safer option for your furry friend.

When it comes to ethical sourcing, it's important to choose a company that values the well-being of both the animals and the environment. Farm to Pet is one such company, which sources its elk antlers from wild elk that have naturally shed their antlers. This means that no animals are harmed in the process of obtaining the antlers, and the elk are able to continue living their lives in the wild. 

While bones and antlers may seem similar at first glance, there are some important differences to consider when choosing a chew for your dog. Bones can splinter and cause digestive issues or even blockages if ingested, while antlers are much less likely to break into small, sharp pieces. Antlers are also much harder than bones, which can provide a more satisfying chewing experience for dogs that like to chew for extended periods of time. Ultimately, the choice between bones and antlers will depend on your dog's individual preferences and chewing habits.
