Tips on Using Your Antler Chew From Pet Expertise

Make sure your antler is large enough that there is no possibility that your dog could choke on it. If you find that the antler you have purchased are not large enough for your dog, you can return it to us for a refund.

Check your antler over for sharp edges. If there are any, it is easy to remove them by rubbing the sharp edge against concrete or sandpaper.

Wash the antler in warm, soapy water and rinse well

Give the antler to your dog watch him while he chews it for at least the first few times.

Make sure your dog is gnawing on the antler instead of trying to break the antler in half. If he is bearing down hard on the antler like this, it is best to take it away (don't forget to give him a treat for giving it up!), since chewing any hard toy this way could damage his teeth.

Remove the antler once it gets worn down to a small enough size that he could choke on it.

If your dog isn't interested in the antler, try rubbing it with sandpaper or a nail file. If your dog still isn't interested in it, you could try rubbing it with a small amount of peanut butter or soaking it overnight in water in the refrigerator.
