High quality antlers. My neighbor's dogs love them.
Purchased this for my 3 year old German Shepherd. The one I received is ~10" long ~2" thick and looks very much like the one in picture. Seemed to be of very high quality for an antler chew. An antler of this substance would probably cost $50+ in the local pet store. My GSD loves nylabones and that type of material chews. This was the first time I had gotten her an antler. I was surprised when my GSD didn't immediately start gnawing on it. Maybe she didn't realize it was meant to chew on? I'm not sure why but she wouldn't do anything with it unless I was holding it. The only reason I can think of is its hardness as it is much harder than a nylon chew. Anyway when jimhodgesdogtraining wrote an email to me asking what I thought of the antler I told him about how Indy mostly ignored it. He offered to send a split antler free of charge so she could have access to the marrow part right away. To my surprise the split antler that was sent was about as large as the original I ordered (just cut in half long wise). I tried this one too but basically had the same response to it as the first one. If I was holding it, Indy would chew on it but when I let go she lost interest. I tried putting a few drops of salmon oil (which she loves) on the marrow at one end. Now she chewed on it until the oil was gone (digging out a good size chunk of marrow) but no more. It just seems like my particular dog doesn't like antlers. I don't think it had anything to do with it being a bad antler. I mean, if someone doesn't like cauliflower, they aren't going to like it even if it is organically grown in a greenhouse by Buddhist monks. After reporting the results back I was offered a full refund. I'm declining since both antlers are now being chewed on happily by my neighbor's dogs. They seem to like them very well. Summary: My dog is finicky. These antlers are high quality. jimhodgesdogtraining stands behind their products.
