My Review (Da Impawtant One!)

Antler Bakes
The Antler Bakes came in a pawjus jute pouch, which mum says is great for storage, walkies and even a gift. (Hear that pals! My woofday is 31st October - put dat on your calender, bold, double underlined and circled! BOL) The bag looks super professional, and mums been showing it off to all her doggy pals. The bag was clearly labelled with company info and a tag explaining the ingredients and such like - I'll let humum go into that detail in her human review section.

Pals, the bag comes with a tie, for freshness (and so we don't help ourselves I think). Once humum opened the jute bag inside was a clear sealed packet generously full of different shapes of noms! We were very impressed, sometimes when you have a bag, it's only half full. Not here, nuh-uh! Full to the brim. *licks lips* The only problem with this was I then had to share them with Derby and Tootsie *grumbles*.

My bag was the 'Original' - this may have been the case to those at Antler but to me it should be called 'SuperSpecial'... they were marvelous! I had never tried these before, and I am quite upset at all I have been missing out on :( The pack states ' The Best A Dog Can Get' - take the hint humans, us pooches deserve the best!

The scent was mouth-watering, and yes you guessed it - Derby drooled. It reminded us of the smell of freshly made sage stuffing, delicious! Mum tells me they contain lots of yummy ingredients which she will discuss in detail in her human section. These include Organic Rye Flour, Oats, Ground Deer Antler, Garlic, Rosemary, Parsley and egg. I couldn't believe it too, real ground deer antler! Mmm. 

We all tasted the treats one by one -  I tried the love heart ones, because I'm lovely! And they were gorgeous, I even did tricks for them which says something! They were great and crunchy and had a great texture to them, which I think is off the Organic Rye Flour and the Ground Deer Antler. Make sure that you have a dish of water near by pals when ever eating anything.

My Verdict? - Deerlicious ;) 

Antler also make their hand baked delights in another two varieties : Kelp and Charcoal. The Kelp bakes include all the goodness of the Original, with added Kelp, which is beneficial for skin irritations and flea control. The Charcoal bakes, yet again contain all the goodness of the Original but have added Charcoal to help alleviate wind and improve digestion. ( I know a few dogs who could use this for wind issues.. and owners too!)

Original Antler Chew

Aslong as I was a puppy I can remember dreaming of these, and now much to mine and humums amazement I could of had one of these as Antler offer a wide range of Deer Antler chews for all ages and sizes! *sighs* My mum has lots of making up to do!


Antler Dog chews only use 100% naturally shed deer antler which come from healthy free-ranging deer that live natural lives. No deers are ever harmed, so do not feel guilty at all gobbling on these pawjus treats pal!As you know deer antlers come in all different shapes and sizes and as Deers shed their antlers roughly once a year, this enables all sizes of pooch to enjoy these.  I'll let mum go into the details on where they come from in her part pals, as you know... I'm all about the taste.

The one I was sent was a hard boney material full of nommy dry marrow which keeps me occupied for ages! I can see this treat lasting ages, not because it's not to my taste or anything, but because it is pure quality and natural. It requires some dedicated chewing time, so when the humans are boring you watching the soaps on the TV, this is pawfect for plonking on the mat and entertaining yourselves.

I would like to tell my pals to all get their paws on these tasty engaging antlers, because I'll let you in on a little secret. They're great for cleaning your teeth! That's right pals, so next time you go to the v.e.t.s for your dental check up - do not fear, flash your pearly white gnashers and thank Antler for all the compliments you will receive! They are nature's own toothbrush.

Mum was impressed by the fact this had no smell to it whatever, which doesn't phase me. I have a better nose than mum so I know it must smell nommy, but mum was relieved it didn't smell of tripe! BOL. They are also hypoallergenic meaning those humans don't have to worry about allergies

And I am proud to say, I never had to offer Derby this! *high-paws*  As you know Derby is a little fifteen year old Yorkshire Terrier and is very lazy... but Mum thinks he is a cutie. Him and Tootsie (My adoptive dog parents) would be better suited to a Easy Chew which is available on their website, these are cut length ways exposing the tasty marrow and means they can get it easier. This means they can still get their vitamins and minerals safely. 

If any of you have fussy humans who complain about mess, this is pawfect for you. There is virtually no mess with these chews. So make sure you add these to your shopping trolley!

I cannot commend Antler enough for the overall service we have received, and have no hesitation in recommending them to pet owners. Every aspect of their service is professional, to an amazingly high standard and focus' on the dogs health. Antler have clearly dedicated much time in to creating the perfect bakes, combining ingredients which dogs love and at the same time which are beneficial for our pets.

As you know, I'm a pet owner who loves to know what the purpose of each ingredient is and Antler clearly identifies their intention of every single ingredient used.

As you can see all ingredients are beneficial, but it doesn't stop there!

Magnesium - Aids in storing and releasing energy. Antler Dog Chews 'Our chews are hand finished using year fresh, 100% naturally shed deer antler' - Antler Antlers make fantastic dog chews because they are made of a hard boney material, naturally containing fibre and minerals like calcium, phosphorous and iron. They are therefore suitable for dogs with sensitive digestion, allergies nd some medical conditions such as pancreatitis and those on a far controlled diet. Tasty morsels of dry marrow are exposed as the antler is worn down by the action of dog's teeth and saliva. These antler chews are totally natural, unprocessed product, with no additives or preservatives. Did you know a  happy dog is a chewing dog?.. Chewing Antlers releases positive chemicals from the brain helping to keep your dog happy, busy and expending energy. Teeth are cleaned and gums stay healthy whilst your dog is happily absorbed with it's favourite Antler chew.  Where do Antler Dog Chews get their Antlers from? Deer grow a new pair of antlers each year from the age of one. The antlers begin as layers of cartilage and slowly mineralise into bone. Antlers grow very quickly and faster than any other type of bone, growing up to 2.5cm per day in the summer! Deer drop their antler naturally each Spring, ready for a new pair to start growing.  This means Antler Dog Chews are made from the Antlers that are naturally shed each year, and come from healthy free-ranging deer that live natural lives.
