Antlers

mstngchic2012 · 11-18-2009, 05:12 PM

Does anyone give their dogs antlers to chew on? Are there any benefits to chewing on antlers? How long do they tend to last?

AW, heck - I was hoping to see your dog with Christmas deer antlers on.

No, Clara has never had any.

Can't wait - I will be looking for them.

My bad - I just saw "Antlers" in the Recent Posts and went for it.

Ha ha! I love Christmas time and Halloween time

Such awesome times to embarrass our dogs.

Can anyone answer my questions??

I just got deer antlers for my dogs yesterday and they both love them! I think that they will last quite a while and it seems to me that chewing on an antler would provide the same oral care benefits as chewing on a raw bone.

I don't have any proof of that, just seems to make sense to me.

How are they processed?

mstngchic2012 · 11-20-2009, 08:57 PM

Oh, and were the points cut off so that it was just one beam or are they whole antlers?
