BTS from our small business:
This guy is 12.5 years old now. He used to lead the charge on finding antlers and “testing” them for quality control (read: chewing through all the profits). We lovingly dubbed him the Bum CEO—and these days, he’s more into naps than operations meetings.
We started Summit Antler Chews 12 years ago after bringing him home and struggling to find chews that were digestible, long-lasting, and actually good for his teeth—without the nasty stomach issues or artificial junk.
The options were slim… until we noticed he kept sneaking off with the decorative antlers we’d found on hikes and bike rides. A little research later, we realized antlers were nature’s perfect chew—and we just so happened to have access to some of the best around.
And so, Summit Antler Chews was born.
Funny enough, we chose the name because it was the one we disliked the least—but just a few years later, we moved to Summit County, Utah, and suddenly the name felt like fate.
We had no idea bringing this 100-pound ‘puppy’ home would completely change the course of our lives—and give me my greatest professional fulfillment.
PS—The Bum CEO may be semi-retired, but don’t worry… he still makes occasional appearances in our quality control department.
