| Antlers So, my local British pet store has started selling these Antler things so many of you American users talk about, but I have a few questions (as usual!); 1. Dexter has had bones before, but they made him ill and have white poop - does Antler do the same thing? 2. Do you give your pup a set time for chewing on the antler? I don't want to give him too much and have him being ill again. 3. Is there anything else I should know? haha My little boy loves it! It's the quietest he's been forever Thank you for any advice x |

| Toki loves antlers! We have a small elk one and a moose one that came in a BarkBox last month. I don't limit her time with antlers. They are pretty hard so I can't imagine your pup being able to consume enough of it in one sitting to get him sick. I don't recall Toki ever getting white poo from chewing on her antlers too much or getting sick from them. And I was so surprised at how much she liked them! And they don't smell bad like other chews either...definitely getting more in the future! |

| I was advised by a vet dentist that antlers and other types of hard calcified bones can crack teeth. I don't use them.

| Mine all chew on antlers but they are not aggressive chewers at all. They postly lick and run around with them more than chew.
