Antler doesn't soften the way rawhide or a baked treat does, which is exactly the point for an owner whose dog gets through other long-lasting chews faster than expected.

This is 100% deer antler, left unprocessed rather than cut or shaped, and sold in three sizes on this page so a small dog isn't given a piece built for a much bigger jaw. Antos give an approximate weight range only for the Large size — around 151g to 220g — with the Medium and Small not separately weighed on this card.

• Sold in Large, Medium and Small on this page
• Unprocessed antler — naturally low odour and low mess
• Suitable from 12 weeks
• Choose the correct size for the dog rather than sizing up
• The Large size weighs approximately 151g to 220g
• Colour and shape vary, as a natural product

On sizing and splintering. Antos' own guidance is to choose the correct antler size for the dog rather than the largest one available, and to supervise chewing throughout — unprocessed antler shouldn't splinter the way a cut or shaped chew can, but that's a difference in likelihood, not a guarantee. We only have a weight for the Large size here, so the Medium and Small are sized by name rather than a figure we can quote.

Who it's for: owners of strong chewers wanting a genuinely long-lasting, low-mess chew, sized correctly for the dog rather than bought a size too big out of convenience.
