Elk Antlers at Best Bully Sticks

Has anyone ever used these?

Are they any good for chewing? I'm not sure Pip and Roo would be interested really, but I wondered about them.

They also have a section devoted to treats for dogs with allergies. Has anyone ever used anything from this section?

Mine chewed on the antler for about 2.2 seconds, and then never looked at it again. I have heard, though, sticking it in a bag of kibble or something that smells yummy gets them going on it. IDK, never tried it.

I haven't used anything from that section, but I have used The Aunt Jenni's brand (we got duck feet) and would buy again. I would love to let them try that Ostrich Medley!

We have an antler that Sarah gave us, I think it was sent over by Kristi? Anyway, my three will "argue" over who has it CONSTANTLY. They love that thing. I desperately want to get some more

Mine are the same way with the Ziwipeak antlers. They fight over them. Hubby sawed a few in pieces so we had plenty. I would like to get more, perhaps these.
I did take Kristi's advice and I put them in a bag of ZP overnight so that they would be enticed by the smell.
That said, mine get no other chewies except Nylabones. I was too worried about Hope's tummy to try anything else.

I cannot believe how many antlers I just found on etsy!

Thanks for the replies. I may give them a try. I'm looking for new things for them to chew on for their teeth, but it's tough when you have a little guy with a sensitive tummy. :/

Karen what kind of nylabones do you get? The edible ones, the hard ones or the softer rubbery ones? I'm not sure mine would go for them really. I tried the edible ones once, but they bothered Pip's tummy. The other ones I think they would likely ignore. Well, Pip might use them a bit, but I think they'd be ignored by Roo.

[jesuschick]

NOT the edible ones for the tummy reasons you mention. They have some hard ones (ignore them), their favorites are the flexichew but I have to watch and trim those and they have some of the dental chews (have to watch and trim them as well).

[Paula]

Thanks Karen. The edible ones really did a number on both Pip and Roo's stomach when I first got them. Ugh. The hard ones I know they won't touch, but Pip might use the flexi one. I like the dental chews, but if I use them too often they make their anal glands act up. :/ I swear chi's are sooo sensitive. I've had dogs all my life and never seen dogs so sensitive. My others could all eat rocks and be fine. lol.
