When do you guys throw them out? Or do you throw them out when they get too small? D was getting to the end of one and as I was going to take it away to throw it out he broke it in half. It didn't splinter or anything just wondering if it is better to take it away or can they chew it till it's gone?

I didn't even kno the antlers got smaller, only recently he's been wearing them down. He had that antler since July which is why I never knew that they get smaller bc only like a week ago it started getting smaller and he's always chewed on it. But I guess puppy teeth weren't gonna do that

I don't throw them out, I let Onyx finish them off.

Same here. Flex left no trace of his.

 

[DieselsMommie]

So the smaller they get they won't splinter? It didn't look like it would.

I don't have any experience with antlers, but my dogs love the beef soup bones. It helps to keep their interest by stuffing them with peanut butter and kibble and freezing them lol.

I talked to a customer at work recently who hunts, and I asked him if he could hook me up with some antlers, and he went on this spiel about how giving them to the dogs would make them vicious! He uses bulldogs and hounds to hunt with, and claims the AC told him that feeding the dogs raw meat and any portion of bones from the animals he hunts would make dogs vicious. He was trying to leave and I was on the clock so I didn't really have time to properly educate him about what a crock of shit that was.

Sorry DM... didn't intend to thread jack lol. Just wanted to share that.

Lol makes them vicious, smh. they're chewers not a lot of things hold up thats why I don't mind spending the $$ on antlers bc they not only last him he loves them

I need to find a place here in az that sells antlers

 

[DieselsMommie]

Petsmart and petco don't have them there? That's where I get em

They're pricey tho, $30 for one decent size Antler. If you hunt or know anyone who does that's a better route to go bc u can get a lot for the price of 3 of them
