A Great Chew Deserves a Little Care.
Every dog is different. A few simple habits can help create a better Glacier Lake Chew experience.
Before Chew Time Begins.
-
Choose the Right Size
Select a chew that is appropriate for your dog’s size and cannot easily be swallowed or fit entirely inside into their mouth.
-
Always Supervise
Stay nearby and observe how your dog interacts with the chew.
-
Inspect Regularly
Check the antler for excessive wear, damage, concerning edges, or small pieces.
-
Know When to Replace It
Retire the chew when it becomes damaged, excessively worn, or too small for appropriate use.
GETTING STARTED
Introducing Their New Chew.
Give your dog time to explore their new Glacier Lake Chew.
For dogs that are new to antlers, watch how they approach and chew the product. Every dog has their own chewing style, so take time to understand how your dog interacts with a harder chew.
Always follow the usage guidance provided with your Glacier Lake Chew.
CHEW WITH CARE
Every Dog Chews Differently.
Always supervise your dog while chewing. Regularly inspect the antler for excessive wear, damage, sharp edges, or small pieces that could present a choking hazard.
Antlers are naturally hard and may not be appropriate for every dog, particularly dogs with dental concerns. If you’re unsure whether an antler chew is appropriate for your dog, talk with your veterinarian.
BEFORE AND AFTER EACH USE
Take a Closer Look.
Regular inspection is one of the most important parts of chew care. Look at the antler’s size, shape, edges, and overall condition before returning it to your dog.
-
Check the Size
Replace the chew when it becomes small enough that your dog could attempt to swallow it or fit the entire chew into their mouth.
-
Check the Condition
Retire an antler that becomes excessively worn, damaged, cracked, or develops concerning pieces.
-
Check How Your Dog Chews
Watch for changes in how your dog interacts with the chew. Some dogs may work through an antler more forcefully than others.
KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE IT
Even a Long-Lasting Chew Doesn’t Last Forever.
Replace your dog’s Glacier Lake Chew when it becomes excessively worn, damaged, develops concerning edges or pieces, or becomes too small for appropriate use.
When in doubt, it’s better to retire an old chew and start fresh.
And, fortunately, that’s the fun part.
Cleaning and Storage
Can I rinse the antler?
Can antlers be soaked or boiled?
How should the chew be dried?
Where should it be stored between uses?
Can more than one dog share a chew?
REMEMBER
Choose Carefully. Supervise. Inspect. Replace.
Choose a chew appropriate for your dog, supervise every chewing session, inspect the product regularly, and replace it when its size or condition becomes concerning.
