Based in Colorado, we've been buying antlers for over 20 years & are one of the largest buyers of antlers in the US. In 2012, when we saw our favorite companions loved the antlers, we started Paws & Co, an antler chew company created for dogs. Our premium A grade antlers are naturally shed from wild elk, so no elk are ever harmed to provide these chews. Collected in the Rocky Mountain region of the US, our antlers are hand-selected without any processing, additives, or fillers. The bone is calcium rich & they have a higher ratio of marrow, high in protein & minerals. Our premium quality antler chews aroma & moisture content make them attractive to dogs, and you can appreciate no mess & no odor. While our antler color & weight may be affected by local foliage, you can recognize lower-grade antlers by their lighter color, chalky-feel, & excessive cracking—they are also more likely to splinter.
We ensure integrity in the sourcing process, instructing our buying agents to have a completely transparent buying process as they work with thousands of individual shed antler collectors. We also pay special attention to supporting Native American communities across the West & our antler purchases have contributed to them several million dollars of much needed revenue.
For your pet's safety, we always cut off the antler tips, sand & tumble to remove sharp edges & require multiple quality control checks on every chew. We ask you to always choose the size appropriate for your dog (large: 50-70lbs), always supervise your pet during use, & to prevent a choking hazard, remove the antler when it is worn down.
A purchase from Paws & Co Pet Treats gives people & dogs second chances. We hire second chance & at-risk youth for warehouse positions in Denver. We also sponsor shelter pets in need at MaxFund Animal Adoption Center, a non-profit No Kill shelter taking in & nurturing injured animals with no known owner, then finding them a loving forever home after their recovery.
