Best chew for our dog

On: 2008-08-06

Our dog quickly goes through every toy we buy, and being as dog toys stay in our house for less than a week or two on average, they are way more expensive than childrens toys. Antlerz are the only thing weve ever bought him that last. Now that hes bigger, he goes through a large one in a couple weeks, but still, thats much better than any other toy (except a kong, and he is so bored with that).
I highly recommend this product, though I would like to know more about the source. The company says they are naturally shed, but does that mean from a dead deer some loser hunter shot, or from a farm of deer, or picked up in the forest?

Beware cracked teeth

On: 2008-02-23

Our dog Sephy, an exceptionally strong chewer (15 month old Shiba Inu male)went absolutely nuts over the two deer antlers he found in the trails around our house. They were absolutely wonderful chew toys for him, being a good bit softer than the "strong" nylabones he has (he quickly destroys any of the softer varieties), and never seemed to break off into sharp or large pieces. The only problem was he went through them in just a couple of days each, and we havent been able to find any more.

Based on numerous positive reviews, we were therefore thrilled to discover Antlerz, which looked like a regular supply of antlers for our guy. When the first shipment came, we discovered that the majority of them were much harder than the ones Sephy had procured for himself. We shrugged and figured "Cool, these will last a bit longer."

Then, after a very busy two days working on one of the large-sized ones, we brought Sephy in to the vet for his first annual teeth cleaning, only to discover that one of his major molars had been very recently cracked. Were now on a long, two-week queue to get him into a vet oral surgeon, hoping the tooth can be repaired.

Hope your mileage is better than ours.
