My past experience with antlers for my dogs has been great. They are both big chewers so they need a product that will be hard for them to chew up easily. These particular antlers seemed to be more fragile than the last and were already chewed 1/3 of the way down after being left out for less than an hour. My guess is that not all antlers are created equal, but my rating is due to the expense of the product versus the endurability of it.

My dog has been picky about what kind of things he chews or what he plays with. My previous dog like antlers that I bought from Amazon, so while I was in a pet store I bought an antler, but they were cheap synthetic things. No interest in those. So I went back to Amazon, and was pleased by the price. As soon as I got it out of the package, he starting chewing on it. I will be buying this again when this one has run its course.

This is a great item.  The first one I bought for my Beagle/English Bulldog mix was the large.  My dog loved it but its was trashed in few weeks.  So, the next time I bought the Extra Large.  When I received the XL it was very large and quite heavy I thought I might have overdone it my dog at the time was around 42llbs bu silly as in cute way that she looks carrying and chewy on this huge Antlert  it holds up well and because of chewing style I feel much more comfortable leaving her with this very study chew toy.  Its not cheap but well worth the money.

Wow!  My dog has jaws of steel and can crack deer antlers, so I decided to go with this antler (and my dog is the size of a border collie).  I got the Amazon Prime delivery to my work... I work in an elementary school.  This antler is so big and heavy that I couldn't help laughing a little when I unwrapped it and showed it to my students.  They suggested perhaps I use it to smack them when they are naughty (I wouldn't...this was their suggestion).

Anyway, it's about a foot long, an inch and a half in diameter, and must weigh about a pound and a half.

The only thing one might worry about is that the thing feels like a piece of concrete.  A dog with a strong chew might break a tooth on it if he bit down the wrong way.

My dog really chews on this, although he tends to lose interest in it unless I occasionally slap some peanut butter on the cut ends.  He'll chew on it when he gets bored, too, but he's mostly a chewer who likes to chew for a purpose, and he can't do too much damage to this.  Fortunately, he knows to not bite too hard, so no tooth damage has occurred.

Keep an eye on your dog when he chews it, and avoid giving it to dogs who bite down too hard on things, especially if they have a history of chipping teeth.  Great for dogs with strong jaws.

Oh, and don't throw this thing.

Our vet recommended antlers for our 3-year-old German shepherd-husky mix. She inhales food and treats (sometimes literally), so rawhide and other edible chewy things are a bad bet for her. But she's not at all interested in Nylabones, etc. Deer antlers are perfect because they are hard enough to last but soft enough not to break teeth, and they have a nice gamey scent that is attractive to her (not to me, but she clearly smells it).

The giant antlers are a great size for her (she's 70 lbs), at least as large as advertised and big enough that we don't worry about her choking on them or breaking them while she's enjoying them with supervision. So glad we found something she loves! We will definitely purchase again.

These are great antlers. We have a Rottie and a Rottie cross, and they both *love* these things, plus they last for a looooooong time. They're expensive up-front, but when compared to lesser chew solutions they're worth it. In fact, we have moose antlers that are several years old - they got chewed for a few months/years, then got lost in the yard, then we found them again while gardening and put them back in the rotation.

We got the 'Large' size and they were plenty big, I can't imagine the 'X-Large' size, must be humongous. Our Rottie cross is only ~40 lbs, and the 'Large' size is a little big for her, but manageable, and also a little small for our 120lb Rottie, but still plenty big enough for him to enjoy.

The bottom line is that after trying all the possible chew/gnaw solutions we've settled on antlers, and after trying the available varieties (deer, elk, moose) we've settled on moose. They last much longer than deer or elk, and our dogs enjoy them more, as well. Highly recommended.

I have a 80 pound black lab who loves this antler. I am a fan as well. The antler is a good size for a big dog. I like this company's business practices & am now a repeat customer.

This is, quite possibly, the best chew bone for the dog who just loves to chew.  My dog is an aggressive chewer and the "so-called" lasting chews in a large variety of types and selections have never lasted more than half an hour.  This deer antler not only out-performs other antler selections, but it must have an appealing taste because it is now her "go to" favorite chew!  Thank you!

Great antler and my dogs favorite.  I can tell it tastes  really good to him and he goes through the antlers quickly. And that's the problem, he gnaws them down too quickly. And the sizing  is okay. They are not cutting any slack in giving a bit more.

My dogs are very aggressive chewers and as such we'very gone through many different chew toys for them. Antlers are hands down the best option, they don't splinter, they last forever, and for some reason the dogs are just drawn to them. Aso for this antler/seller specifically, the price was outstanding for the size of antler we recieved and their customer service is top notch.

I've ordered the large split elk antler and it was wonderful, but the large whole antler is incredibly disappointing. It is about half the size of the split antler and more money. I hesitate even giving it to my dog because it's so small.

My strong chewers-a boxer and labradane-love these antlers and they last for months. Make sure to get the correct size for your dog. The large is perfect for my pups.

Our dog loves her antler. She chews it non-stop, and it lasts longer than most of her chew toys. Thank you!

My dogs love their antler toys. Other brands are thicker than this brand in the XL brand which I ordered, so they chewed through them in much less time. They love the toys, but I just wish they were a little longer lasting. Short chewed-off pieces need to be thrown away as they are choking hazards.

Worth it to me.  I have a 100 Lb Lab and he knows how to chew.  Most toys and bones last hours or a couple days.  These antlers (this is my second purchase) last months and months.  I am really pleased with the quality and size.  For about $30 I expect a BIG antler and that is what I got.  The antler I most recently received was 10 inches and about 2 inches in diameter.  Obviously, these are not uniform products being natural elk antlers but just to give you an idea.  Thanks for delivering on what you advertised.  My dog loves it and I will order another in 6 months.

I bought this antler for my chewing monster of a boxer I have.  I debated on buying it simply because of the price and the fact that my dog destroys every chew toy or bone I buy him with a day! I read the reviews and decided to take the chance on it. Well, I could not be happier with the xl antler that arrived. It was a great size for him and he sniffed it and took it straight to his favorite place behind the dinning room table to "work on it". He takes things behind there when he doesn't want to be interrupted.  He knows that my wheelchair has a difficult time getting back there ha-ha. I got him to come out and lay on his bed so that I could watch him. I wanted to watch for splinters or breaks which happen with his other chews. But NOT this one! It doesn't break or splinter it more or less just wears down after a while. Its been a little over 2 months now and he's STILL working on that antler! It had 3 points on it and one was like 2 points had grown together. Well after 2 months the double point is almost worn down and he still has 2 more to go! This has been the best chew for my aggressive chewing monster. I will never hesitate buying another XL antler from Big Dog Antler Chews! It seems like a lot for a chew toy but its nothing when you consider how long it last and how happy he is. Plus I'm happy that its something that is safe and natural for him with no dyes or added products.

I have a Labrador/Doberman mix who loves to chew! I've bought antlers at other places and this one has lasted the longest.
