This style of chew is cut from the beam of a Red Stag antler split in half. The outer edge of a Red Stag antler is dense, but the center contains a soft marrow. This particular chew has the soft marrow exposed, which allows for easier chewing for dogs that are not strong chewers, or are new to antlers. The dense outside provides hours of chewing time, while the soft marrow is the reward that your dog will look forward too.
