A couple of years ago I bought one antler, I have to assume it was deer. Cody wouldn't even touch it. I ended up throwing it out. It was very, very hard, I believe for small breed dogs it would break teeth. No more antlers for us. Years back with my girls I always gave them greenies, they never had any problems with them. After joining YT and reading about all the choking hazards of so many chews I use to give my girls with no issues what so ever, I don't now what to give Cody, I give him bully sticks, but not every night. Poor kid needs to chew something.
