"Just kidding, she's a 9 month old Cane Corso and this natural elk antler was a great option for our not so little girl. She's still working on it ~"

— Michelle

"I buy my dog antlers often. This antler broke in big pieces which she then swallowed. She vomited three times and was sick all night. I’ve been buying antlers for six months and never had a problem. This one seemed pieced together."

Bottom Line

Due to splinters, health worries, and price perception the antlers are disappointing
