Bones & Chews Made in USA Elk Antler Split Dog Chew

The dogs love this product. I learned of it when my daughter gave me one. But it was 1 in. X 3/4 inch by 5. So I could hold onto it when my small dog chewed on it I ordered the next size. It was gigantic! I read things about these being bad news if chunks are swallowed an will be asking my vet about it. But I do know the rawhide causes terrible problems in some dogs. But truly this is the tastiest and most attention getting product. Just make sure it’s made in USA. We export a lot of antlers you know! I will have to throw away this big one because it will be injurious to his tiny jaw. Too bad. chewy.com should ask the size of the dog or breed so the correct diameter can be pulled from The dogs love this product. I learned of it when my daughter gave me one. But it was 1 in.

Impression was that this would be a split antler, not a split of a split (a.k.a. 1/4). Due to the marrow being completely exposed, my dog had completely removed the marrow within an hour, in addition to making a big mess. The outer antler shell lasted a good three weeks, but there was hardly any substance left. I would have been better off giving my dog a paint stick to chew on, because that is how much of the antler remained after the marrow was chewed away. In the past I have purchased split (a.k.a. 1/2) antlers elsewhere, and they have lasted for months. For the money, not worth it as this product was falsely advertised.

My dog was able to break these in about a day. They loved them, but I had to take them away when the end chipped off. I bought more then one and let them keep the others, until they chipped about a week later. The dogs did love them, unlike whitetail deer antlers the inside are like marrow and come out, makes a mess but they were happy!

Would not purchase if your dog is an avid chewer. My dog loves antlers. This was not what I expected. It is way to skinny! For this price point I expected it to last a little while. I will have to take away within a couple of days of chewing. With this being said, I have always liked chewy products. Just dissatisfied with this one product.

This is by far the best chew for our GSP. She hates nylabones, goes through cotton ropes in a couple hours and nylon-ish ropes have no appeal. Since rawhide sometimes causes digestive distress, we'll be exclusively using the split antler from now on. I'd love to find a large, knotted rope for tug. We have one that may not last much longer -- very thick, probably a cotton-blend. It's gotten a lot of work but has outlasted all others.

I'm dissatisfied with the size of the elk antler that i received after i paid extra for an "X-Large". I understand that the size is in reference to the length but the one I received was very skinny/narrow, not even an inch in width. This is not my first time buying antlers for my dog. I'm not sure if it's just an issue with the picking of inventory at Chewy.com or the manufacturer's classification of sizing.

I have ordered these several times. The description says they are split, they are quartered. However the size is good and consistent. I have ordered from somewhere else previously and spent $20 and received a 5 inch by 1 inch. Disappointing. My dog loves these and will order again. Picture is of the last one I purchased of 4. It was the smallest I received.

We purchased this Elk antler for our Bernese according to the sizing instructions. Within 10 minutes, the antler had been completely carved out, with what I'd call moderate chewing. This lasted just one more chewing session before the remaining marrow (is that what the inside stuff is?) began to splinter. I was very disappointed because at the price point, this isn't the cheapest of chews. We have had previous elk antlers purchased at an all-natural store last nearly 6 months of intense chewing - that's why you get these things - but this one just didn't live up to it. I would not recommend under any circumstances. I do, however, like Bones & Chews other products!

So many antlers I've ordered lately have been so disappointing-- either really thin or short, or constantly cracking, or arriving whole when they should have been split. But this one is just as I hoped. It's properly split, good quality for hard chewers, and a safe size for my lab. The bar is pretty low for antlers I suppose, but this one does a totally solid job.

I bought two of these for my dogs. One is still in fine condition, but unfortunately the other snapped almost immediately (within 10 minutes) and I had to throw it away. It seems the quality of these antlers is hit or miss. Both of my girls are moderate chewers.
