INFORMATION

If your dog chews through everything, even toys and treats that say they're for aggressive chewers, then try Mad River Antler Chews. Mad River Antler Chews hold up substantially longer than traditional chews made from plastic, bone, or compacted starch.

Totally new, this 100% natural, mineral-rich, long lasting dog chew is made from a natural material that is rich in minerals, does not splinter and comes from a completely renewable source: Deer Antlers!

Wild deer shed their antlers once a year as part of a natural cycle. The deer later re-grow another set. These shed antlers are gathered by shed hunters, cut, cleaned, and packaged.

A minerals analysis of Mad River Antler Chews demonstrates high concentrations of calcium and phosphorus, with trace amounts iron, zinc, and sodium. But unlike processed livestock bones, Mad River Antler Chews don't chip or splinter, ever. Even the most aggressive chewing dogs can get long chewing enjoyment from this chew. Over time, the chewing action grinds the chew down slowly.

Mad River Antler Chews are a 100% natural, mineral-rich dog chew that contains no plastics, no petrochemicals, no empty starches or artificial flavors. Mad River Antler Chews are a by-product of Mad River Antler creations of fine art and unique lighting fixtures.

Tips for Using Your Antler Dog Chews

Antler chews make wonderful chews for dogs but just like any dog chew it is important to be careful and to supervise your dog. Here are a few tips to help your dog to enjoy the antler chew and keep him or her safe.·

• Make sure your antler dog chew is large enough so that there is no possibility that your dog could choke on it.
• Check your antler chew over for any possible sharp edges. If there are any, it is easy to remove them by rubbing the sharp edge against concrete or sandpaper.
• Wash the antler chew in warm, soapy water and rinse well.
• When you give the antler chew to your dog watch him while he chews it for at least the first few times.
• Make sure your dog is gnawing on the antler instead of trying to break the antler chew in half. If he is bearing down hard on the antler like this, it is best to take it away (don't forget to give him a treat for giving it up!), since chewing any hard chew this way could damage his teeth.
• Do not allow your dog to chew more than an inch of the antler per day.
• Take the antler chew away from your dog once it gets worn down to a small enough size that your dog could swallow / choke on it.
• If your dog isn't interested in the chewing the antler, try rubbing it with sandpaper or a nail file. If your dog still isn't interested in the antler, you could try rubbing it with a small amount of peanut butter or soaking it overnight in water in the refrigerator
