I have a 78lb lab that loves antler chews and couldn't pass up this deal compared to the big box store prices. But I wasn't impressed by the size when I received it.. It measured only about 5 1/2 inches and was only a 1/3 of a split antler vs the description noting 6 inches long and the picture depicting is a 1/2 antler split.. Because of this I can't give 4 or 5 stars. But the Quality is great, has lasted a long time, the antler seems fresh and my pup loves it. Which are the important things. Would I recommend it to others? Yes, but I would set proper expectations because the item isn't quite as described in the ad.

First, my dog. He is a pointer/lab mix that weighs about 55lbs and he is a chewer. I would say he tends to chew aggressively, but he doesn't have great jaw strength. He's had a rubber bone for months now and it shows few signs of falling apart. I've given him bones from the butcher shop and he enjoys them but he was never able to crack the bone.Second, antler chew toys. I have noticed the same difference in antler density that Chasing Our Tails claims to exist. Moose seem to be the most dense followed by deer then elk. Austin first cleans the marrow out of the antler if it's split. He cannot crack the non-split antlers which limits his interest in non-split antlers. The split moose antler I gave him showed virtually no signs of wear after three weeks (minus the marrow). next i gave him a split deer antler which he was able to gnaw down to a chocking hazard in about a month. These elk are his favorite. Only once has he crack a piece off the elk split antler.
Third, know your dog. I have read a lot of the negative reviews about these antlers and antler in general as dog treats. The biggest problem with these reviewers is they believed the line about "splinter-proof" natural bone chew toys. Chicken and cow bones can be cracked, or "splintered", into long slender pieces with pointed ends that are dangerous to dogs. It is a lie that antlers will not crack into to long splinters. The truth is most dogs are not strong enough to crack antlers because antlers are of higher density than cow bones. But these antler chews are great... if you know your dog's limits. Aggressive or not, if your dog is a powerful chewer NO bone/antler/horn is a safe product as it posses a chocking hazard if cracked. If you're not sure about your dog, then monitor the pet closely after you give them any bone/antler to determine how long the product will remain safe for your pet.
Fourth, get this chew toy. Dogs like mine, that don't shred their toys, will love, yes love these split antlers. The marrow just falls off the bone in the first few minutes, which he loves. But the calcified outer part of the bone provides residue-free, odor-free chew time for weeks so it save money on chew toys, which I love. Eventually these antlers will become gnawed down to chocking hazards, but I find this takes about a month. Of course if you think your dog is boarder line to power, you should try the moose antler. I know it's pricey but it's you're best shot at getting your money's worth.
Thanks

These Elk Splits are the perfect chew for any dog. They have no discernible odor to humans, yet my dog knew exactly what to do with it. Unlike commercially sold bones, this has no grease to mess up carpets or flooring. It does not splinter, so it is good for small or large dogs. These come not split for larger dogs, but I have found that the split antlers are best for my 20 pound puppy. He got his first split antler when he was only 5 pounds, and knew what to do with it, and loved it. Helped through the teething stage. Bought one for every room, and when he went after something, or me, to chew on, I would distract him with his antler. It worked! These are supposedly humanely "found" as deer and elk shed their antlers every year. I hope this is true, as you can't believe everything you read on the internet, but it does make sense! As they can make money doing nothing but finding cutting, and bagging these to sell. They aren't cheap, but they do last a long time. After the marrow has been chewed out, the antler can still be gnawed on, and will harmlessly flake off, and like bone, can be eaten. When the antler gets smaller, it should be replaced with a new one, as it could be swallowed whole in a smaller size. These have lasted for weeks! So the expense in my mind is well worth it. They do sell it by the weight of the dog, but use your common sense. A smaller one is not going to be any softer, than a larger one. The larger one will last longer than a smaller one, as long as it is not so large that the dog can't pick it up and carry it around. Hope these are around for a very long time.My dog is a strong chewer; he can go through an entire rawhide in one sitting. I've switched to antlers and love the durability. Depending on the brand, the antlers can last several weeks. I've tried different sizes, brands and styles (split, whole, slices).I'm not impressed with Chasing Our Tails Elk Splits Rack Snack. Compared to other similar products, it's smaller and is too easy to chew through. It only lasted a week, compared to 2-3 weeks for other brands.
My favorite is "Newts Chews Antler, Sliced Elk".
Please note each dog has their own "ideal" treat. This antler might be right for your dog, but just didn't work for mine.

I have a 32# Australian cattle dog. I normally buy her the x-large antlers because she is a chewing machine. Thought these would be a little bigger.
