chapter 1 — the elk
It starts on a bull elk
Antler is the fastest-growing bone in the animal kingdom — a Wisconsin bull grows a whole new rack every year, up to an inch a day.
Madison, Wisconsin
Naturally shed elk antlers from Wisconsin farms — cut, sanded smooth, and boxed without a scrap of plastic, right here in Madison. No odor, no mess, no junk.
why antlers?
Keep scrolling — we'll walk you through it, from elk to chew.
chapter 1 — the elk
Antler is the fastest-growing bone in the animal kingdom — a Wisconsin bull grows a whole new rack every year, up to an inch a day.
chapter 2 — the shed
No harm, no drama. Bulls drop their antlers naturally and grow an even bigger pair by fall. We pick up what they leave behind on Wisconsin elk farms.
chapter 3 — the cut
In our Madison workshop the shed gets trimmed and cut into chews — sized for everyone from terriers to tanks.
chapter 4 — the split
Each piece is sliced lengthwise so the nutrient-rich marrow is right there from the first chew — ringed by a dense mineral wall packed with calcium and phosphorus.
chapter 5 — the box
Edges smoothed by hand, packed plastic-free. One ingredient, zero junk.

The antler on your living-room rug started out here.
how it's made
Every spring bull elk drop their antlers on their own — then grow an even bigger pair by fall. No elk is ever harmed.
We pick up fresh sheds from Wisconsin elk farms — not from a shipping container that crossed an ocean.
Each antler is sized for different chewers and hand-sanded smooth. No coatings, no flavor sprays — one ingredient.
Straight into a recyclable paper box. The only thing inside is the antler — even the "window" is just a hole.

about us!
We're two local guys based in Madison, Wisconsin who wanted to give dogs a natural alternative to traditional dog toys. When we found out about elk antlers, we had to share them with the world. Thus became Petfoodz!
Every antler is picked up from Wisconsin elk farms, cut and sanded by us, and packed in a paper box — because the best dog toy shouldn't come wrapped in the worst material.
Say hihow it started
Petfoodz started as a student venture — and took home hardware for it.
