All the pups got a Deer Antler today.

Your dogs are beautiful, btw. =)

Do you do anything to them before giving them the antlers from the butcher?

yeah , they really like them..
no splitting or chipping and they wear very slowly..
i bought the whole ones not the split ones..
my airedale is a super powerful chewer and he has barely made a dent in his..
yes, if/when they did chew them down to 1/2 size i would take them away cause these are super hard and they could not chew them up

Would they damage the teeth of smaller yorkies?

Sophie Kate loves her antlers, they last forever!!! I have not experience any problems with them breaking her teeth (knock on wood).

You kids appear to be enjoying them also!!!

it does not seem to bother their teeth..
although the antlers are hard they do wear slowly...

Guinness loves his so much he decided to lay on top of my chest at 5am to chew on it pretty much right in my ear

They all look so happy We've never tried antlers... Hmm, maybe a good Christmas present?

I'm really fond of antlers for Bailey. He can spend hours gnawing away at them. Good choice!

That is what I was wondering because Clyde has a VERY bad habit of chewing off pieces of chew things and trying to swallow them. I've had to be very careful with what I give him... these antlers sound perfect!
