ELK VS. DEER

ELK

DEER

· Elk are twice as large as deer species– translating to larger antler racks (in length and width)

· Though large in size, elk antler tends to have a thinner outer core surrounding the marrow in the center of the antler – this makes elk antler an excellent choice for dogs who are considered mild to aggressive chewers

· Deer antler is typically smaller than elk as deer are about half the size of elk species

· Though smaller in size, deer antler tends to have a thicker outer core surrounding the marrow in the center of the antler – this makes deer antler an excellent choice for dogs who are considered aggressive to power chewers

 

SPLIT VS. WHOLE

SPLIT
WHOLE

· Split antlers are recommended for dogs that are considered mild to hard chewers

· Split antlers are a great “starter” antler because dogs learn to associate the antler with a tasty marrow center — once a dog has had a split antler, they can graduate to a whole antler

· Whole antlers are recommended for dogs that are considered aggressive to power chewers

· The outer core of the antler provides a dense barrier for dogs to chew through to get to the marrow center
