deer antlers? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I was in the pet store yesterday and I saw some deer antlers. It said that dogs love them. Has anyone given their dog these? If so did they like it?

bchgirl · 03-28-2010, 05:30 AM

My older dogs aren't too impressed...but my puppy loves them.

We have never tried them

Antlers are great!

Some dogs love them some don’t. Lola prefers the antlers that come split in half...easy access to the morrow inside.

They also last for a very long time....great for BIG chewers

Does anyone know if they tear up the muzzle hair like rawhide type chews do?

i just learned about these and the inside is minerals the lady said -- i do not use them but bought them for a gift - i got the split antlers as she recommended those for small dogs

We have used antlers. At first, Barney and Teddy both really loved them. Now, they have no interest at all. Daisy does not chew because she is afraid of Barney. I had hoped she would but it was a no go.

i have heard of them but have never tried them

I have wondered about these too. We actually have antlers laying around our house that we find on my parent's land and my dogs don't touch them. Maybe they would if they were cut or split.

Max does not like them any more.
Mickey loves them

It's supposed to be packed w/vitamins & minerals. Maybe I'll try the split ones, they don't really gnaw on them anymore...where'd you get the split ones?

Prince smelled it and walked away.

RONLYNN · 03-29-2010, 11:40 PM

I gave one to Teddi and she just walked away. They don't have any smell and just seem like a rock so I don't know why they would like them but she can't have any meat or anything so I thought I would try it...but it didn't work.

i got the split ones from a store called maxwell dog in los angeles Maxwell Dog Online - if you call i am sure they will ship them to you - they said the small dogs like the split ones as they can get to the center easier
