How long does this antler typically last your dog?
448787
My dog has been working on hers about 2 months and it's lost maybe an inch in length (started about 8 inches). She's a German Shepher/Husky mix, so she has a fairly strong jaw, but she's 4 years old, so she's also not chewing as frequently as a dog under 1 year might. My boss buys elk antlers for her rottweilers and they typically last those very strong (but older) dogs several months. If you're looking to get an antler, elk is definitely the species you want as they are the most dense and last the longest. White tail antlers don't tend to be much cheaper but are much softer and don't last nearly as long I've found from experience.

Forever. I've never had a dog "finish" an antler. They do tend to like the ones cut in half more as the marrow is more accessible.

I had one antler and 2 fairly large pit bulls, and it took the two of them about 2-3d months to whittle it down, and they're pretty intense chewers.

I have a giant breed dog and the antlers can last several months. every once and a while you get a "softer" one which can be whittled down in a few weeks.Antlers are one of the only things I've found that can't be destroyed by my dogs in less than a day. The other thing I just recently found is called a Goughnut.It comes in several shapes and sizes and is available on Amazon. They will replace it if your dog chews through it. So far so good but it's still not as enticing as an antler to my dogs.

I use the little measuring spoon supplied with the product. It lasts me about 7 months for my 32 # dog. No noticeable effects from keeping it that long. It's a dry powder in an opaque container. Shouldn't be a problem to keep it a year or more.

This was a whole antler. My pit and beagle both love it. One was smaller and pointed which is gone now but the other bigger one is still in pretty good shape for my pit is a very aggressive chewer.

Yep, for my dog they last at least twice as long as a Greenie. Not near as long as a rawhide.

Hi Hamid,We definitely recommend replacing it every so often. How often depends on how often your dog is using it! Most of our customers notice it lasts anywhere from 1-6 weeks! We hope this helps, but if you have any other questions, feel free to contact us directly!- Megan

Dear Rosemary, in less than one day, the ear, antler, and one front leg were chewed off. Nyla bones, and Kong hard rubber toys are what works best for our growing puppy. To add excitement, put a small amount of creamy peanut butter on the chew toy and save your babies teeth if you can find them. Hugs, Ron

They usually last one to two weeks on our active dog, but last three to four weeks on our cat. They would probably last longer on our cat but he chews them off.

On average they last about 30 days. It depends upon how high you have them turned up and how often the dog approaches the boundary.

Depending on how much your dog chews it can vary. I have a Collie and an American Pit Bull Terrier. Both are moderate chewers. I get one that they share and it lasts them 2-3 weeks until it's small enough that I don't want them chewing it anymore because they get too small for their mouths.

I have a dog with one of the most powerful jaws there is. To give an idea, a pit bull bite is rated around 250PSI. My dogs is about three times that. Almost nothing I give her lasts more then a few days. A very few things might last a month at best. These last 3-4 months IF and ONLY IF they are DEER antlers. Moose or Elk don't last... gone in a fraction of the time. The only other thing that can outlast that around here is a Kong ball (and ONLY the ball... any other shape and it's toast).

They last about 2 days for our dog. We used to get the small, but they were gone in an hour or so.

I have 4 Golden Retrievers now. The two babies are 33lbs each and almost 4 months old. They are chewing the 'large' size, same as the 2 adult dogs. If it were me, I'd go for medium or large. I would not want them to have the ability to get the whole antler in their mouth. All 4 of my dogs LOVE them and they are virtually indestructible. I do not buy the 'split antlers' as I find they don't last as long and they splinter. Just my experience. Hope they work out for you. Good luck and Happy Holidays!

My adult Bichon can chew one up in less than a half hour. I don't buy them anymore because I don't want her to eat them so fast. Our pet supply store sells bully sticks that last a lot longer but are more expensive. I guess you get what you pay for!

It really depends on the dog. We have a young terrier/lab mix and she can go thru these in mere weeks. Our older lab...lasts twice as long. Best price though...won't find size and price at local pet store and no smell.

Our 70 lb black lab is the big orbee fan. She hasnt destroyed one of the small orbees yet. This one is great for playing catch but she really prefers the small two tone orbees witb the raised stuff. I truly think the orbee will last a long time. Good luck & hope pup enjoys.

My pup is a one year old Border Collie. She doesn't chew through Kongs but this bone is very very durable. She is a heavy chewer and it has lasted weeks and will last many more.

I have terriers as well so I know what you mean about rough play - this is still a plush toy it just has two layers the lower one being a "tougher layer" but she does manage to find the fluff - when she does it's lights out for the plush. I'd say they last about 3 weeks for her now that she's figured them out but the dog I bought this for is small - only 12 lbs so if your dog is bigger and likes to chew on them I don't think it would last too long.
