Highlighted Reviews
"I think the name may be misleading because it appears to be a large antler that's quartered, as opposed to being for large dogs. These are perfect for my pug!"
"Very disappointed in this item. Not as depicted in the picture. This item was delivered as 4 pieces (quarters) in a shrink-wrap package. The pieces were approx. 5" in length and very DRY & BRITTLE......Please be Careful!"
