Highlighted Reviews
"every dog need a deer antler to chew on. Jazz chews on hers a lot. deer antlers i believe are good for dogs and last longer than other products. deer antlers are a healthy chew."
"Initially I loved this, although it was a bit thin, my 7 month old Golden LOVED chewing on it. Unfortunately, after just three days it’s actually splintering and breaking. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s so thin, but for $25 I would hope something would last longer than 3 days. :("
Bottom Line
If you have a heavy chewer, this product may not last long enough to justify the cost. It's best suited for lighter chewers who can enjoy the natural chew experience without the risk of splintering. Consider alternative options if durability is a priority for your dog's chew toys.
