Not every dog wants the challenge of a full, hard antler. Some dogs prefer a chew that is a little easier to get into, while still giving them the natural chewing experience that makes antlers so popular.

That is exactly where our Pizza Shape Antlers come in.

What Makes a Pizza Shape Antler Different?

Our Pizza Shape Antlers are specially cut so that the marrow is exposed along the top of the chew.

The shape resembles a slice of pizza, which is where the name comes from. More importantly, this particular cut gives dogs much easier access to the softer marrow inside the antler.

With a traditional whole antler, your dog has to gradually wear through the harder outer layer before reaching more of the centre. With a Pizza Shape Antler, the marrow is already right there on top and ready to enjoy.

Easier to Chew

Because the marrow is exposed on the top, Pizza Shape Antlers are easier to chew than our full Red Deer Antlers.

Dogs can start working on the marrow straight away rather than needing to chew through the harder outside first.

This makes them a particularly good choice for dogs that enjoy antlers but are not extremely powerful chewers, as well as dogs trying an antler chew for the first time.

They can also be a lovely option for puppies from 12 weeks of age, when an appropriately sized chew is chosen and chewing is supervised.

All the Enjoyment, With Easier Access to the Marrow

For many dogs, the marrow is the most exciting part of an antler.

The Pizza Shape cut puts this part front and centre. Your dog can lick, scrape and chew along the exposed marrow while still enjoying the harder antler around it.

It gives them something interesting to work on and can keep them happily occupied without making the chew unnecessarily difficult.

Naturally Shed Deer Antler

Our antler chews come from naturally shed deer antlers.

Deer naturally grow and shed their antlers as part of their yearly cycle, allowing us to turn this natural material into long-lasting dog chews.

Each antler is different in colour, shape and texture, so your dog's chew will always be slightly unique.

Pizza Shape or Full Antler?

Choosing between them really comes down to your dog's chewing style.

If your dog is an experienced or particularly powerful chewer, a full Red Deer Antler may provide a greater challenge and usually lasts longer.

If your dog prefers something easier to chew, or you want them to have immediate access to the marrow, the Pizza Shape Antler is a great choice.

Because more of the softer centre is exposed, split antlers generally won't last quite as long as a full antler — but for many dogs, that is exactly what makes them so enjoyable.

A Great Introduction to Antler Chews

If you are introducing your dog to antlers for the first time, starting with an easier cut can make a big difference.

With its exposed marrow and easy-to-hold shape, our Pizza Shape Antler gives dogs an inviting introduction to natural antler chewing.

Simply choose the correct size for your dog, supervise them while chewing and remove the antler once it becomes small enough to swallow.
