Stag Bar

We bought Brutus a stag bar about a month ago. The first day or so he was a little apprehensive, but now he won't leave it alone. He is chewing it after he has his breakfast and dinner, chews it all day and I wouldn't be surprised if he takes it to bed with him. Does anyone else's dog do this? It's not bad that he chews it as much as he does is it?

Cheers

No, there's nothing in it that can harm him.

Dempsey goes through spells of chewing his - sometimes it's fanatical, other times he won't touch it for days!

Moo hated hers at first but she does have a chew on it now

Very good. It's his new play toy. Won't go anywhere without.

Blue goes through stages where he loves his and carrys it everywhere he goes around the house

Logan only does it from time to time, but it'll do him no harm and will keep him very occupied

Rocky loves a good chew of his stag bar usually just before he goes to bed, they are great for cleaning their teeth.

Darcy goes through liking it and leaving it.

Sam hates them... We bought him one, and he turned his nose up at it... so ended up giving it to my mum for ben, ben loves them, dont know what treats/chews to give sam now.. as them other ones he ends up chewing and then trying to swallow them, so stopped buying them

Did you try soaking the Stag Bar in cold water overnight? Or smearing something tasty over it?

I rarely give Dempsey other chews, and never give him rawhide! The only time he had a rawhide chew he tore a large piece off & started to choke on it - I stuck my fingers down his throat to get it out (I did get it) and got my finger bitten to the bone for my troubles; he was only about 4 months old at the time!

Rawhide, I found out afterwards, swells in a dog's stomach and has been known to cause a potentially fatal blockage.

I can't get Daisy interested in hers, must have bought it a month ago, I have tried putting some cheese spread on but she just licks it off!! I will try the soaking thing, thanks for that

Blue loves them so does ice lowering the tone slightly does any notice the next day there no2 s are solid like concrete lol

Haven't noticed that with Dempsey - maybe because he was raw fed it didn't make any difference?

I treated Diesel n Tank to a jumbo stagbar each today ! £££££!!!

Worth the money - haven't heard a peep for 2 hrs lol !

Gonna last ages, they are very big ones

2 happy staffys with aching jaws !

Lola just won't entertain hers... Didn't know about soaking it in water. Give that a try.

Moo hated hers also, and still doesn't like the normal ones. She got one of these for christmas www.antlerdogchews.co.uk and they are slightly more expensive and she loves it, couldn't believe the difference, its nearly all gone now but has lasted!

This is where I bought ours from so loosely using the term "stag bar", just noticed you can buy some hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooge ones on there , xmas maybe
