First-light Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 So I'm spending some time with my daughter. She has a white lab about 75lbs. I have Oakley who is about half her size. They play tug a war with a rope. They were having a great time then one of them picked up a 4 pt horn I gave Oakley. They started to go at it over that and one of the tines went into the labs eye. She is ok. My point (no pun intended) is maybe saw off the sharp points especially if two dogs involved. My guys are ok but I would hate to see a dog injured this way.

Marion Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Ouch. Probably not a bad idea to grind or saw them off#LessOverzealousMods #WeWantANewMod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I know there's a benefit to them (calcium?) but why in the fugg do you want your dog potentially eating chunks of antler? A vet is going to bend you over if he gets a shot at it........only if the dog doesn't croak prior to the trip to the vets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First-light Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Vet said antlers are fine but no rawhide. It tends to get stuck in the intestines if is too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonTypical Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I’ve been giving antlers to my dogs for years with no issues. They don’t splinter or break. They tend to shave them down with their teeth. Real bones and rawhide are no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelwhisperer Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I would never waste antler on the dog...instead i grind them and mix with the garlic powder, lol Edited July 11, 2020 by squirrelwhisperer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
