TASMAN’S ELK ANTLR XL SPLT

TASMAN ELK ANTLER CHEWS – Why we believe our Antler Chews are the Best…

 

Born in USA, Found in USA. Cut in USA.

Only Freshly Shed, Grade A+ Brown Antlers are sourced

Truly Natural – Contain no chemicals, additives or preservatives

Humane- Antlers are naturally shed from animals and causing no harm (Wild antlers)

Sustainable- New antlers are naturally grown each year

Nutritional Value- High in iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc and phosphorus

Longer Lasting- Longer than traditional rawhide chews, bully sticks, ears, etc.

US Sourced- Our Naturally Shed Elk Antlers come from CO/WY/ID/MT/UT

Cleans Teeth and Gums while giving the dog a satisfying chew

Low-To-No Odor

Rarely splinter or chip – Fresh Brown Antlers, (Older hard white or chalky antlers can splinter much more easily)

More clearly defined shape/size – Our “SPLIT” Antlers are made SINGLE SPLIT or DOUBLE SPLIT for more proper sizing choice.

 

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.

 

ALL of our Small and Medium Split, and most of our Large Split antlers are made this way, to be more gentle on smaller and older dog’s teeth. We recommend our 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 and XL , and some of our Large are made this way. (We beleive bigger is better, thus for most who would choose a large single split, we recommend the XL single Split)

 

Note – For older, larger dogs, we recommend our Large Double Split or possibly XL Single 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.

* Our recommended Antler Sizing Chart is a Guideline, as every dog is different, with differing chewing habits, differing tooth health, etc. Please consult your Veterinarian if you are unsure of which size or are concerned whether Antlers chews are right for your furkid(s).
