About Antler Chews
 

Hello, I am brand new to this website. I was reading the questions people had about antlers and I felt I needed to respond. First, I want to say that I have a wholesale antler chew business and I am not trying to promote my own cause, just want to let folks know that antlers are really healthy and will not hurt your dog. In fact, they have all kinds of good stuff in them like calcium, magnesium,etc. They don't stink, splinter, chip, crack and they last a very long time in most cases. (months, maybe years) Sometimes older dogs shy away from them as they are hard, and just like us, if their teeth are weak, they will naturally stay away from chewing on things that hurt. Hope this answers your questions. I can barely keep up with the demand for these chews, so it makes me believe there are a lot of happy customers out there!

welcome to yorkie talk.
thank you for the info .. i am thinking of trying antlers for my dogs..

Welcome to YT. Do you have a yorkie?

My two don't care for the antlers, probably because they aren't stinky:laugh: They love the Himalayan Chews, though, they smell like parmesan cheese to me:D

My Milo loves them.

First Welcome to YT and thanks for the added info on deer antlers. I have one for Teeka and she likes to chew i, but only if I hold it for her. She is always trying to get to the inside of the antler. That must be the tasty part. She is a puppy that loves and needs to chew!


:welcome4:

Antlers crack teeth. Sorry, but that's what the vet dentist told me. I have used in the past but won't at this point.

That's what I worry about they are so very hard. Callie got one once and would not chew on it and when my mom's yorkie came over and he chews and eats everything he didn't even like it. I'm glad they didn't it would have been terrible if it cracked there teeth.

:thumbup: Thanks for sharing that, just another reason why I wont use any type of "chew" in my house!!

I do not use, Bully sticks, Himalayan chews, Texas toothpicks.. NOTHING! My Vet said that bacteria can grow on them and cause your pup to be sick. Seemed like when Peanut have the BB he always had tummy issues!!

Rosco broke a peice off his big antler, that doesn't surprise me, I haven't found ANYTHING he can't get a peice off!

Hi, EllenC! I see this is your very first post on YT...and, not that I do not appreciate your take on antlers...a product you sell, but you posted no introduction of yourself, photos, or anything else before chiming in on antlers with text that virtually mimics most of the ads so I am wondering what kind of dogs you have/had, EllenC, that use/d the product you say you sell that you are not trying to promote as your own personal cause...especially since you have so far only promoted the 'antler' product. I am wondering if it is because your dog/s and/or vet, family, friends, etc. love/d and said how nutritious and safe they are, years of experience with, etc., this product, that you decided to sell them. I would be really interested in the info and the benefit of your experience with your dog/s over the years with this product over any sales pitch, even when your website and/or store location is not mentioned for me to check out the products and brands you sell. I am always interested in chew toys for my kids that are safe, natural, chemical free, and will provide more than a few minutes of entertainment and pacification. Also, "antlers" is pretty generic, so have you used deer, elk, etc., kind of antlers with your dog/s in the past and what did you find the differences to be? Were there any drawbacks? Etc. TIA and welcome to YT.

ROFLMAO. This is a great post. Thanks for the lunch time giggle.

While I have no vested interest in antlers, deer or elk, I was told about antlers from our holistic dog store here in town. This all came about when Bailey was in his 6 - 12 month age and he was chewing any and everything. He chewed tables, chairs, desks, molding, you name it. They recommended the antler. He loved it. They offer them in varying degrees of hardness and size. Bailey likes the softer ones about 4 - 5 inches in length. He's been through a dozen or more and loves them. I get them on ebay through a reliable seller. Never had an issue and Bailey is a happy camper.

I totally agree, no chews here as well, I did have a baby choke on a
bully one time and its just not worth it to me..they do break off.
