If you’ve ordered one of our pre-cut moose antler dog chews and noticed a vivid green tint inside the marrow, you might be surprised—and maybe a little concerned. Let’s clear that up: it’s completely natural, perfectly safe, and part of what makes every moose antler unique.
Nature’s Green Signature
Moose antlers grow at lightning speed during summer, fed by a dense network of blood vessels. While they grow, moose eat mountains of willows, birch, and other leafy plants. These plants are rich in chlorophyll and related pigments. Moose also take in trace minerals like copper and iron from local soils.
During antler growth, some of these natural pigments and minerals can become locked into the spongy core of the antler. When the antler hardens and sheds, those pigments remain—sometimes showing up as emerald or neon-green streaks once we cut the antler into chews.
100% Natural. 100% Safe.
The green is inside the bone, not on the surface. It is not mold, not chemical treatment, and not harmful for your dog to chew. Each chew is just as long-lasting and nutrient-rich as any other moose antler.
Why You Might Not Have Seen It Before
Many antlers stay classic cream and brown, so a bright-green center can catch you off guard. Think of it like natural wood grain—every antler is one-of-a-kind, and some carry a unique splash of color from the moose’s summer diet.
A Wild Gift From the Backcountry
When you see that green glow, you’re looking at pure Alaskan wilderness captured in bone—a living record of what that moose ate and where it roamed. It’s a small reminder of the truly wild origins of every Chewy Pawz chew.
Bottom line: A green tint in the marrow of your moose antler chew is nature at work—safe, natural, and totally unique.
