Trying Dog Bone Antlers for the First Time | Enter to Win!

I always see other dogs on other blogs barking about how much they LOVE dog bone antlers. Just this month, we finally tried out our own antlers from The Peak Antler Company. They offered to send Shiner some of their all natural dog bone antlers to try out and review. I've always wanted to try some antlers out with my dog, so of course I said yes.

As with every product we review here, I wanted to make sure the antlers were good quality first. The dog bone antlers that come from Peak Antler Company are naturally shed by either elk or deer, so no animals are injured or harmed. The antlers are just a good old fashioned "bone" straight from nature. The Peak Antler Company's antlers are collected from forests or ranches around Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. All from the USA, which I know is very important for many dog parents right now. 

So after learning all of this, I was even more happy to review the antlers here at Pawsitively Pets. If you keep reading, The Peak Antler Company is offering a special discount code AND a chance to win a prize for your own pooch. 

The Peak Antler Company sent us two sizes of the dog bone antlers to try out - Large and X-Large. Shiner weighs about 55 pounds, and I don't consider her a very large dog. I am pleased that we got the X-Large size though and think it is a better fit for Shiner than the Large. Although both are a nice size for her. They also offer Small and Medium sized antlers for smaller dogs.

When I first gave Shiner the X-Large antler, she seemed unsure of what it was and what she was supposed to do with it. Typically, when I give her a treat or toy she snatches it right up and is ready to test it out. With the antlers, she gingerly sniffed them for a few minutes before I began to coax her into chewing it. Once she figured out what it was for, she was all over it! She chewed on the antler one night while I cooked dinner for at least an hour. And I've been giving them to her every now and then to keep her busy. 

Some other things I like about these dog bone antlers are that they don't turn into big slobbery, staining, and stinky messes. I feel completely OK about letting the dog gnaw the antlers on the carpet.

I love this thing! Thanks Peak Antler Company!

These things are super sturdy too. I can tell that it's going to last a very long time. Unlike many other chew treats or toys we've tried in the past. The Peak Antler Company's website recommends that those with aggressive chewers request a "base end" antler which is the part of the antler closest to the deer's head. This area of the antler is more dense and gives the dog more to work on while chewing. 

It is possible for the antlers to chip or splinter, so it's important to monitor your dog while chewing. So far, we haven't had many issues with this. My daughter informed me that the dog broke off a little piece of the antler. It was very small, so I picked it up and tossed it.

If you are looking for an all natural, healthy, and durable dog treat or toy you should check out The Peak Antler Company. (They also have lots of cool furniture made from antlers!)
