I have tried the antlers...Our first corgi Tucker would chew them right down. I would throw them away if they got small enough to swallow. One antler he had he broke a rather large splinter off and that was the end of the antlers for Tucker. I don't think a puppy under maybe 5-6 months could power chew and break a tooth or a piece off the antler. If you opt to give an antler I would watch very closely :)

For those who've tried the antlers, would you say they'd be good for a teething puppy? He likes rawhide and the bully sticks--which I agree are wicked expensive and, while the puppy takes forever to actually work one down, Aber inevitably steals it from him and gobbles it right up and I might as well have just set fire to $6 for all it lasts him!

I don't think they do anything to antlers before selling them in stores, so I guess you can use them straight.<br />
They do not damage teeth. It's just like a bone, but a bit harder on the outside. The inside is softer and usually gets worn out faster, you can see like a dent after time.<br />
Shiro always had one and boy does he love this thing. We bought medium size a couple times, they last for about 2 months, but if Morgan is a chewer he might finish it in 1 month. Get a Monster size, those will last…

I got the medium size antlers and my two corgis chew them. I find it interesting that both preferred to chew only on one of the antler, even though I got 2 antlers, one for each of them. One is half chewed and the other one is hardly chewed after a month.

Yea bully sticks we maybe once or twice a year now or when a friend gives us some :) We usually get some from the grandparents lol.<br />
<br />
Though its hard because Charlie is the chewer and Roxi just sorta chews/likes more chewy things.<br />
<br />
<br />
My only problem with the antlers is I dunno if it was because Roxi was chewing it too fast or if she had a reaction to it but she got sick after chewing hers for a while and urped up everywhere.<br />
<br />
While Charlie chewing on the same thing was completely fine. So its…

Well, my friend just gave me some last night. Freya loves it! I washed my in hot water and scrubbed it and soaped it. Maybe soaping was a bad idea...I wish they would mention how to sterilize them for consumption.<br />
<br />
The antlers I received had a lot of dirt caked on it...I figured the scrubbing would make the marrow part a little closer to possibly entice the pups.<br />

I'll have to start buying more when these are gone. From what I read, it is supposed to be powdery and that is why it's better than…

I'll have to start buying more when these are gone. From what I read, it is supposed to be powdery and that is why it's better than raw hides or other bones cause it doesn't break into slivers. Plus...vitamins and minerals!<br />

Nutmeg is 2 weeks into her antler affair. She is totally enamored! Everyone who is afraid..DONT BE. They are loud when she tosses it on the tile...but much more affordable than anything else I have tried.

My guys love the straight sections of 100% natural elk antler sheds which I purchased on line also. We got one with a nifty handle on it which Tasha likes to carry from room to room.

Coming from an avidly hunting family I can answer a few questions here. Deer antlers will get more brittle with age so I would steer clear of the known older ones.<br />
<br />
My family has given the dogs antlers for years and none of our dogs have ever managed to break them, including a Siberian, a pit, and a pit mix.
