OK so lately Duncan REALLY wants to chew. He has always been a bully stick chewer. (thank god not a furniture chewer)

But now it seems he's chewing them down to nubs in less than an hour where previously he'd chew on one for a couple of days.

Also, we go to the dog park almost daily and he spends too much time chewing on sticks. I usually don't allow him to chew sticks but it is hard to get him to "leave it" there. I think part of it is a nervous habit. When he's warming up and finding his place among the dogs he tends to gnaw. Kinda like his cigarette.:) 

His breath always smells icky. I know he's a dog and that it's normal for them to have doggie breath but it smells like dried blood like when you have a tooth pulled. I brush his teeth and he also gets one or two small dental chews. And i always inspect inside his mouth to make sure nothing is stuck rotting between teeth.

Anyway, all this rambling but I'm wondering if anyone's doods chew on antlers and if they might help with dental hygiene and be a replacement for the bully sticks (which I think might be a cause of the breath).

The Dog's Meow is one of the places where we buy Darwin's food. :-) The other place is Ma and Pa's Bakery and it's very similar so they probably do as well. I am going to check them out this week.

It's been a few months since you posted, but I just wanted to let you know that I gave my 4 month old pup Antlerz today for the first time and she is loving it! Nothing has ever entertained her this long before. She was crated in the AM for longer than ever today (4 hours) and I came home expecting to take her for a walk. No, instead she wanted to chew on the new Antlerz and she's still completely involved with it. I bought her the medium since the small's are so small. It was a reasonable price I am so glad to have found it in a store as the shipping prices are outrageous online.

My Yogi loves the Bully sticks, I have to try the Antlers. It sounds like your dog and others love them.
