stag bars didn't with with my sam!

he a sniff and left it

Moo isn't overly keen on hers

Maybe he'll get used to it - it's very different to any other chew/toy. Some dogs take a while to realise what it is.

xena is having a good chew of it but that doesn't help my sam teeth

Lexi is still chewing on the bone i gave her last week lol she aint put it down.

My 2 both love them !!
Jethro gets stuck into it some nights and I worry about his poor old teeth snapping off !

Tilly and Tommy don't seem too fussed on theirs

Rocky loves his and has a gnaw on one at night before bedtime.

Blue said all unwanted stag bars are kindly recieved. He said £20 notes as well but I told him not to be cheeky

It's not Suki's favorite either but she has lots of options. You could try coating it in peanut butter to see if that will get his intrest.

Meiko didn't know what to do to start off, I held his close to his mouth then when he went for it I kept pulling it away he soon got the idea and took it from me. Or you could try peanut butter on the end, it's Meiko's favorite and sure to draw his attention to anything I put it on.

Same with Zeus, he sniffed it when I first got it and left it. I think it was because he preferred rawhide instead. But now he doesn't get rawhide anymore, so he chews on the Stag bar!

don't forget for all of you whose doggies refuse to eat them..all offers gratefully received!!

The boys can have Moo's, but she'd like to bring it round in person

be my guest !! I'll put the kettle on..............

Might be a bit of wait so pop the cider in the fridge and get the BBQ ready

OK ! What time can I expect you??? YAH !!!!

Your time or mine

now I AM confused !!!

XXx

Foster dog Tasha took to hers pretty instantly.

Have you tried sanding a bit down or leaving one end in water in the fridge over night?

Will that help as Moo hasn't any interest in hers??

could you put some peanut butter on the end to entice her??

She'd lick the peanut butter off and leave the bar

Yeah leaving it in water overnight is meant to help sometimes. Think it brings more to the surface and softens it up to encourage the chewing

My girls love their stag bars so does their cousin Alfie the Labradoodle

I will give it a go

Stag bars arrived today and Densil loved it. Also loves the bubbles. So glad I found this forum. Densil is not a bit interested in the nylabones though, and he used to eat the rawhide ones when we first got them, but recently his rawhide one is just laying around - knowing what I know now, I guess it is because they upset his stomach.

Great to hear
Reminds me, I need to order another one for Blue

Sorry, just seen this. Apparently so, I've never had to try it but I think those were the suggestions on the stagbar label/website

Hope it works!

Dora loves them. I bought a new one for her yesterday. The lady in the shop said if you put the open porous end in honey over night it will all soak up and be extra yummy.

No idea if it works, just passing on the tip

Thanks for the reminder, totally forgot to do it, will pop it in water now, maybe try with honey after, although I think that could get messy lol

She is actually interested!! Put it in water on Thursday, and since Friday she has had a good old chew every day, (on her back rolling like a loon!) I think it may have worked, its sunday and she is happy as larry chewing on it

Thanks
