Reliably interesting toy that doesn't smell too bad. Absolutely no digestive effects that I can see, and it lasts much, much longer than an ear. It's a little more durable than a hoof and has the advantage of not smelling like old manure as the dog chews it, no doubt the reason my puppy is more enthusiastic about his revolting hooves.

The first was lasting well until the 13 year old lab mix, a.k.a. Jaws, got hold of it and consumed it apparently because she thought the puppy was enjoying it too much. The bonus was that it cleaned up her teeth a lot. In her youth, she could destroy anything and all her toys had names like Rugged, Indestructo, Mega-Tuff, etc., so I would still rate this as a fairly lasting chew toy. The second is three months old and while it's only a stub, it's still around and being chewed every day.

If your chewer has separation anxiety, go for cow ears, stuffed Kongs, or a bully stick. They'll last long enough for the dog to forget he was upset that you left, and they are more enticing than an antler, which is really for leaving around the house to chomp on when the urge strikes. Avoid hooves unless they're only for outdoors, and stay away from pig ears unless your dog has the stomach of a goat, because the grease will give most dogs the runs.

I have a Pit Bull and a 120 lb American Bulldog and have had a heck of a time finding anything that lasts more than 5 mins with these guys. I was told about antlers and thought I would give them a try.

I have two small elk antlers (about 3") that I bought about 5 mnths ago. Not only have my two not been able to break them, but they LOVE them! All I see for ware are some shallow grooves around the edges where the dogs have worn the antler down. I wish I would have found out about them years ago! They have not splintered even a tiny bit. These rock!

Fantastic product, but a little pricey. It outlast those hard bones and other chew devices and is much healthier for the dog as there are no artifical additives. A friend gave me one when I got a new puppy and it has kept her busy, instead of chewing on nonacceptable items. My older dogs enjoy the chewing also. It helps to keep the tartar off the teeth and doesn't injure the gums. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

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 haven't 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. We're 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.

After watching my 82 pound dog chew thru and devour a jumbo rawhide toy in a few hours AND noticing that he did not eat for a few days after, I knew that I needed to find another chew toy. I have tried the rubber toys, he lost interest quickly, the nylon chew toys kept his interest for the day, but soon discarded, I tried them all and then I saw the Antlerz, and although it was extremely pricey, I decided to try it, purchasing the jumbo size. This is the number one toy in our house, he chews on it for hours, he rolls over on it laying on his back and then pounces on it for another round of chewing. This is the 2nd one purchased, the last one lasted a few months and this is with aggressive nightly chewing. This one has been worn down on the corners but I know he has many more nights of enjoyable chewing left. Also as I know this is the first thing he is after when I bring him back inside, I have begun finding hiding spots and it makes it more fun when he finally does find it, which he does every time!

I ordered medium, large and jumbo antlers as gifts, and what came are almost virtually the same size but labeled differently. I would not order from this comany again. They are deceiving, and that's why they are cheaper than others.

These things are supposed to not splinter and be tough for heavy chewers, that is why I purchased them. I gave these to my dogs, and in less than 5 minutes they were ripping pieces/splinters off them. One even cut one of my dog's mouth causing him to bleed. A waste of money and very disappointing purchase. They did come very promptly through amazon.

Like seems to be the case with many dogs, it has been very difficult to find chew toys that last awhile. And, we had a terrible choking incident with pressed rawhide bones (and a $500 vet bill to boot). An employee at the pet store encouraged me to purchase this brand of antler, and our dog LOVES it. It does not shred or break into small pieces, does not make a mess or stink (like bully sticks) and it has really lasted! In about 6 months, he's chewed it every day and it's still nearly the same size as it was when I purchased it. Please note that our dog is a French bulldog, which means he has a very strong jaw, but is not as avid a chewer as many larger breeds.

The product I received was nothing like the photo. The photo shows bumps and a Y shape like a natural antler would have, however, the little piece I received looks fake and is completely smooth as if processed. Very disappointing, would not order again.

When the description said long-lasting I was hoping for something more like a few weeks. Given what we'd heard from other greyhound owners about deer antlers, these things were supposed to be all but indestructible. Unfortunately our 4 year old greyhound managed to gnaw away half of the bone in less than 10m and now we're worried he may have broken it into pieces and ingested a larger chunk.

I cannot recommend these at all. They're not at all what they're advertised to be in terms of durability.
