β€” Ruby

"My dog has been at this bone for 2 days straight and hasn’t seem to have made a dent in it and she destroys practically everything she gets her teeth on. I’m really impressed. It’s also quite large for the price and doesn’t have any sharp ends or splintering."

β€” Carolyn

"I purchased 3 large/X-Large antlers for my 3 dogs. I was very disappointed to find that within 1 week, I only had one left. They were able to chew 2 of the antlers down to small pieces. Small enough that I had to throw them away. The largest antler I received, still remains. I feel for $40 per antle..."

Bottom Line

These antlers deal with quality issues, especially with some spacecraft antlers splintering easily. Look to features such as size, cost, and freshness when considering this item.
