Buyer Beware!!
I just got back from the vet, and I felt compelled to write this review. Hopefully some pet owners out there will take this review into consideration before purchasing antlers for their dog. Our 1.5 year old corgi just got his back molar extracted because antlers fractured his teeth. We were hoping to save it by doing a root canal and placing a crown on, but it was fractured so bad that it's not even an option.
When I was buying antlers for our Corgi, I thought that it was the best thing out. I didn't mind paying for the expensive antlers because they were suppose to natural and good for my dog. When we went to the Veterinary Specialist today who specializes in dentistry for dogs, she said that the fact that these companies claim that antlers clean your dog's teeth is a myth and many dogs end up fracturing their teeth from chewing on antlers.
Please take this into consideration when purchasing antlers!! I thought i did my research when it comes to antlers, but my poor 1.5 year old Corgi just lost one of his most important molars and i'm out $2,118.59.
