*smoochies to the scrunchy faces*

Don't buy the 'split' ones -

and there is a decent 'family run business' that I was going to deal with, until a friend sent me a pair :)

if you google - -   ANTLERCHEWS   you will see them come up - they seem to be the most reasonably priced, and they have different flavors (Elk, White Tail Moose etc)

When Gizmo needs more, this is where I'll go.  THICK and LONG is the way to go, atleast the thickness of a tennis racket if not thicker :)

and again

NOT SPLIT ! :)

why not split?

I haven't given any to Winston...so I don't know much about them.  Why should we avoid split ones?

No split because . .

Split chews break down different than whole antler chews and they leave a nasty edge! They also only last 1/2 as long as whole antler chews

They have the 'marrow' in the middle of the chews, which is softer, and it makes a big mess, then once all the good stuff is out of them, it leaves a very nasty edge

Julie--answer

Brookside Barkery has them.  They're off 119th St between Pflumm and Black Bob (by Spin! and Mi Ranchito).  They've got a variety of types (elk, antelope, etc) and sizes.  If you're not sure what kind/size the staff there are really helpful. :)

also...

I know that CPP has a few antler selections/options on their website as well.  I'm not sure how CPP and Brookside compare price wise...but it's worth check out both places. :)

our local pet store sells 1 for $39.00 on line $15

you want to look for 'Natural Shed' (the animals arent killed, they just fall off each spring) 

you dont want 'flavorings added to them' just natural is fine.  I would definately get Extra Large at MINIMUM
