Dog Chews
The Purely Intrinsic Guide to Elk Antler Chews
Sustainably Raised. Hand-Selected. Dog-Approved.
At Purely Intrinsic, we believe your dog deserves a chew as unique as they are. Unlike "wild-shed" antlers that can sit in the elements for years, our antlers are farm-raised right here in Minnesota. This allows us to select only the highest quality antlers for your pet, ensuring they are nutrient-dense and durable.
To guarantee safety and satisfaction, every chew undergoes our Three-Point Quality Inspection:
-
Length: Sized to ensure it’s easy to hold and prevents swallowing hazards.
-
Volume: We look for "meaty" thickness and a rich marrow core.
-
Weight: We verify density so you receive the long-lasting value you expect.
Step 1: Choose Your Style
The "core" of the antler is the marrow—the nutrient-dense prize dogs crave. How hard your dog works for that prize determines your style.
| Style | Best For... | Description |
| Splits | Puppies, Seniors, & Mild Chewers | We cut the antler down the middle to expose the marrow immediately. Perfect for "instant gratification." |
| Wholes | Aggressive & Power Chewers | The marrow is fully encased in the hard outer bone. This provides a long-lasting challenge that helps clean teeth. |
Step 2: Find Your Size
Match the chew to your dog’s weight. Pro Tip: If you have a "Power Chewer," we always recommend sizing up for safety and longevity!
