Our goal here at Wapiti Labs is to support your pet’s health in the way we know best by unlocking the potential of natural ingredients through science-based supplementation. Today, we’re pushing aside the scientific jargon to talk plainly about the versatile ingredient at the heart of some of our most powerful formulas: elk velvet antler. Here’s what it is, why it’s important, and how it can help support your cat or dog’s health and vitality.

Elk velvet antler (EVA) is a humane, renewable substance found in the growing antlers of male elk. Rich in compounds such as glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, collagen, amino acids, and essential minerals, EVA has traditionally been used as a natural wellness ingredient.
Rather than focusing on a single area of wellness, elk velvet antler is valued for its broad nutritional profile and potential to support normal body function. It has been used in traditional wellness practices for thousands of years, and today it remains an ingredient found in a variety of dietary supplements.
For pet owners interested in learning more about the ingredients behind Wapiti products, the Wapiti Products collection provides an overview of the company’s supplement offerings.
And if you’re wondering where Wapiti gets its EVA, the elk velvet antler used in its supplements comes from carefully managed elk herds. Wapiti Labs focuses on responsible sourcing and quality throughout the production process.
EVA is used in supplements designed for both people and animals. For pet owners, the ingredient may be included in formulas intended to support areas such as mobility, circulation, normal muscle recovery, immune health, and overall vitality.
When choosing a supplement for your pet, it’s important to consider your animal’s age, activity level, overall health, and individual nutritional needs. Pet owners can explore Wapiti’s dedicated supplements for dogs and supplements for cats to find products formulated specifically for their companion.
Wapiti also offers wellness products for other members of the family, including supplements for people and supplements for horses.
Wapiti Labs offers a range of natural supplements that utilize nutrient-rich elk velvet antler. Be sure to consult your veterinarian and keep your pet’s individual health needs in mind when choosing which supplement is right for your cat or dog.

In addition to dietary supplements, Wapiti offers elk antler chews for pet owners looking for natural chew options for their dogs.
As with any chew, pet owners should select an appropriate size and supervise their dog while chewing. Always follow the product-specific recommendations and consider your dog’s individual chewing habits.
