Stag Bars

Has anyone used a stag bar for their dog and are they safe to be left alone with the dog or do bits come off

Thanks

stag bars are great you just throw them away when they are to small

They are safe and are quite tough.

Logan doesn't play with it too long but it is very good for them

OMG - HE IS ADOREABLE

I think i will be purchasing one of these today - For a staffie would you say prob a large

I got XL because he would get more use out of it, but large would be fine. They are irregular shapes so just pick one that looks like it would be easy for your dog to hold etc.

aawh beautiful shiny shiny Logan..

I'd say at least large, but if you can get hold of an extra large one, that would be better.

i get the jumbo size from the here http://www.puredog.co.uk/our-products.php

Thank you

We would usually get the medium or large size for Rocky who loves his stag bar, Pets at Home now stock them and Jolleys do too.

Ill will be poping to pets at home at lunch time to have a look. Thanks

We get jumbo ones in our house and they're pefectly safe to be left with. You just need to bin them when they get small enough to be a choking hazard

Great Thanks

I get the biggest ones I can find just so they last longer. They're brilliant, perfectly safe and keeps them occupied and gives them something to chew on other than things they're not meant to.

Thank you i grabbed one at lunch I just hope she is intrested in it

its not something I ever thought my two would be intrested in but I got one on a whim on sunday....they have been fighting over it since. I got another tonight for some peace and yeah both are happy chomping on them for the last couple of hours. fantastic imo the dogs love em alot. best thing is no mess. cant recomend them enough.

Defo buying some, I will have to buy 2 though!

Hiya everyone

Brought jess a stag bar & she has just been barking at it.......... How did ur dogs react

Darcy did the same at 1st but now has a chomp on it daily

What did you do to help her get over it. Ive just left it alone and paid no attention to her barking or going mental with it - Is this right

That's right, don't make a fuss of her, she'll get over it when she realises it's not evil or anything

I hope so - She just see's it as a threat at the moment I think or wants to play as she does that bouncing about and going mental at it LOL

She'll get used to it. It's just because it's new to her

It was funny to watch but didnt want to encourage her doing it so just ignored her

Some members suggest putting a bit of peanutbutter on the ends to get them interested.

ok great

thanks

Wouldnt be without them, I get large and extra large, and just throw them away when they become small.

Thank you that is great - Just hope she starts to like it

Thanks Guys for all your help she eventually started chewing this last night - I havent lleft her with it today though cause she was getting a bit greedy with it so ill only leave it with her while I am there at the moment.

Thanks

That's great. As long as it's big enough that it couldn't become a choking hazard it will be safe

No but she was coughing a little bit but think that is coz little bits come off dont they. What is it that is inside the bar as looks like marrow or something

Thans

Yea it's just dry marrow. Constant chewing makes them extra thirsty so that may have been the reason too.

Yerh I will monitor her with it over the weekend and prob start leaving her with it next week - I am just so glad that she has warmed to it and stopped barking. She has a bowl of water left down for her but I am tempted to get her a massive bowl and fill it to the top.

MatLogan you have been super helpful Thank you

Just for your info, popped into PAH today to get a replacement stag bar for Ralph and was told they had been discontinued!

Not good.

That's weird, I got one from my local one yesterday. Maybe it's just certain stores.

If your dog becomes disinterested in it, soak it in hot water for a few minutes, let it cool down a bit then try again. Works wonders with Milton

Koda loves hers.. keeps her quiet for hours..
