Highlighted Reviews
"Keeps Diva busy"
"This was described as a medium-sized antler good for larger dogs. I was very disappointed to find a thin antler, probably suited to a miniature dog with a small mouth and not much bite strength. It didn’t feel safe even offering it to my dog, who could have choked on it. It was a waste of money."
Bottom Line
While there are some redeeming qualities, the size and safety issues are major concerns that potential buyers should be aware of. Not recommended for larger dogs or dogs with strong jaws.
