Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| I can only ask this of what others call "dog obsessed" people.
I want to give Bodi something for Christmas, and I don't want it to be a lot of junk to eat. Been there, done that with the his being sick after.
Do any of you have a suggestion for something that would be healthy and take him a long time to chew? |

| Agreed. I love antlers. You could also invest in raw bones. We prefer Elk and Moose antlers over deer. Deer antlers are hard and brittle; not good for prolonged chewing IMO. I don't know if you are on FB or not, but there are a couple companies on there I get my antlers from; Got Antlers? and Montana Antler and Dog Supply. Love both of them! |

| My vote is for a moose antler as well, they are STRONG and although expensive mine have lasted for almost a year now and I just sometimes soak them in chicken broth to make them want to chew on them again. I know there are a lot of companies out there but I would do one that is naturally shed, that way you know there is nothing added.
I love Acadia Antlers they come from Maine, and they are amazing. You can order them online at: http://www.acadiaantlers.com/
I would do the moose shovel or the pitbull paccifer from them. They last forever, and they are a great company. I think they range from like $40-$60. |

The ones at PetSmart are way overpriced for just one antler. Most of the companies we've mentioned sell a bundle of antlers for the price of one at PetSmart. I don't know this for a fact as I've never bought them, but I can only guess the quality isn't as good, either. Moral of the story; I wouldn't recommend buying from there. |

My friend bought those from Petsmart when I told her about antlers thinking that was the same thing as the one that I got. The inside looked totally weird (like not what it should) and I would never feel comfertable purchasing one there. She then bought several at the Acadia Antlers and her bernese mountain dogs loves them! |

| Just be careful with antlers because they can chip teeth with them being very hard.
You can give a smoked beef knuckle bone (they're huge)! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150194532711552&set=pb.823006551.-2207520000.1387562808.&type=3&theater
Or a beef femur bone... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151163907946552&set=pb.823006551.-2207520000.1387562407.&type=3&theater
That should last a while and they are not as hard as antlers. _________________ |
