Hard Red Deer Antler for dog bone chews and artistic endeavours
Using organic and biodynamic principles our farmed red deer hard antlers come from their annual castings.
Dog chews
Our deer antlers are completely natural and fat-free; they have no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and are not treated with chemicals, bleach, dyes or formaldehyde. Deer antlers do not splinter and can last for months. The organic composition of an antler is very specific: the antlers display the fastest rate of growth in an organ anywhere in the animal kingdom.1 Hard deer antler withstand impacts seven times greater than those needed to break internal long bone material.2
Both in vitro and in vivo pharmacological studies have demonstrated that deer antler base possess immunomodulatory, anti-cancer, anti-fatigue, anti-osteoporosis, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-stress, anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, hematopoietic modulatory activities and the therapeutic effect on mammary hyperplasia. Although the mechanism of actions is still not clear, the pharmacological activities could be mainly attributed to the major bioactive compounds amino acids, polypeptides and proteins. Based on animal studies and clinical trials, deer antler base causes no severe side effects.3
Hence, deer antlers makes very safe, nutritious and long lasting dog chews that clean and strengthen
their teeth.
Artistic endeavours
Deer antler has been used in artistic endeavours throughout human history for example:
