The Dogmother Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Anyone else get these for their pooches? Moochoo got me onto them and ours have just arrived. Cyrus set about his with gusto, Ruby circled hers warily, gave it the horse-eye, then settled down for a good nom. They don't break or splinter and are really good for cleaning their teefs.

Bramble Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Spotted these at Crufts and did wonder whether to give them a go but Willow only had eyes for the pigs ears and Fish4Dogs !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 My lot love the fishy treats too - we get them from Jon Angell; he used to run Fish4Dogs and is very reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks for that link DM, an RGT colleague at Crufts was telling me about "someone who used to run Fish4Dogs that's now gone it alone" but couldn't remember who it was, that would be him, then!!! Have to say, I did buy rather a lot of F4D at Crufts, it was very good value there so we're stocked up for the next 6 months or so!!!

lillybettybabs Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I nearly got Dylan one but OH was a little worried about splinters etc. Let me know how your two get one with them and i might get some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Will do. Everyone I know who has them says how long-lasting and safe they are; apparently they gradually wear down as opposed to breaking down or splintering. They certainly seem very hard/dense, my two have big sharp teefs so if they last it will be a wonder!. I got the medium size and they cost £5 each.

jasperaliceuk Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Can't get my dog to touch it - I've soaked it and rasped the ends as they suggest. Wish he would - would probably last for ages! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yes - Tango has a stagbar which I got her in (I think) November. She really loves it and has a good chew on it most nights. We'll probably have to get her a new one soon-ish but I'm really pleased with how well it has lasted as it wasn't cheap, although I did get the biggest size! It definitely doesn't splinter and she has super clean teeth too ETA - Tango loves F4D jerky treats too (and yes, they do pong ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Do they do a dinosaur size for my big boy! Yes, they do a large size - £7 I think but I'll have to check tomorrow as I left the details at work ETA, the prices are: small £3 medium £5 *I got this size for my two. Large £7 X Large £9 V Large £10 + postage and packing if necessary They are all eco friendly being from deer which shed their antlers each March. Mine love them!!! Great for the teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Try smearing it with a bit of peanut butter to get him into it. I use peanut butter as a bribe for things like that and for coating worming tablets - they just love it!

quickcluck Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Finley loves his I got him a medium one and he chomps on it for ages, I think he's making headway on it slowly. They are really hardly things, and of course no deers are harmed as they are naturally shed!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Mine are still going with theirs - they leave them for a bit, then rediscover them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperaliceuk Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Tried the peanut butter today - he just licked it all off and then dumped it. By contrast he loves a bull's pizzle (demurely called a 'woofer' in our local market! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Oh DM, these sound perfect for my little George, as you may remember he is allergic to practically everything but rabbit and venison these sound ideal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 My boy loves to chew, but demolishes anything hide based in a flash. I could do with something a little more substantial for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Have you also tried these? They last a while also.. http://www.justdogsshop.co.uk/natural_dog_treats/2552-ziwipeak_deer_hoofers dried sweet potato chews also last an evening....

chick wiggle Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I get the sweet potato chews for George too and they certainly dont last an evening! half an hour if we're lucky! He is alergic to potato, so these are good for him and keep him quiet while we eat He is also alergic to beef, chicken, pork, turkey, duck, rice, wheat and barley and i have found plenty of treats for him from here, so anyone else who has a dog with alergies this may be worth a look too. http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/swallowhealthydiet-uk/&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2754 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 My antler chews (well Tango's to be precise ) arrived this morning. They are a much better shape than the Stagbar chews and even seem to be tastier - Tango growled at me when I walked past her as she was chewing it earlier Thankfully she has now chilled out and realised I am not going to steal it and eat it myself She never did that with her Stagbar so she must consider this new chew to be more high value.

The Dogmother Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 My two left theirs after the first 48 hours but are nomming them again. One has more ridges and a rougher finish - that seems to be the favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoice Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Ooh, I've just read this thread (must've missed it) My OH saw an advert for stagbars in the metro paper and was going to get one but if you think these ones are better then I'd like to try one on my pooch. There's nothing like a personal recommendation. What size would you advise for our lurcher/staffie cross as she's a very strong chewer?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 After Riley having to have calculus removed from 2 of his teeth, I'm feeling very guilty that I haven't been attending to his dental hygiene properly . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
