Stag bar/anco root sizes

Going to order a stag bar and anco root for Chiquito ... unsure of what size would be the right one to get though.

Any suggestions on a size that would be good for a 16 week old puppy? Also, how long do you find that they last?

large would be good. They last a while but mine can go through them pretty fast if they chew hours and hours each day. I bet for 16wk old they would be fairly indestructible for stag bars. You may even go down to a medium size.

I get the biggest/thickest I can find. They last a few weeks/months. Loki currently has three StagBars and one fallow deer antler. All chewed up but still some left. He hoards them so I think he needs another, but they're still there

This

Bacchus has had his Stag Bar ( medium ) since he was 10 weeks old ( he's now 10 mths ) and it's still going strong but I think it depends on the dog how long it wil last.

Thanks all for the replies - I think I might go with a medium stag bar and see how he goes

(We can't get either the stag bar or anco root here in Australia so i only have the online pics to go by for ordering - hard to judge size and durability from a pic!)

Loki is rather clever I think Tara .. I like his style

Do you think the fallow deer antler is better/worse than the stag bar at all? On the website it just says that they are softer ....

I would err on the large side, you'll be amazed how quickly he'll grow into it. If he is initially a little reluctant, soak it in water overnight or rub a little peanut butter into the ends just to get him started.

I'd go for large too to get the best value.

It's softer so it may not last as long if your dog is a very strong chewer, but Loki's still got his, a lot of it, actually. A few members' dogs don't have any interest in StagBars but will love the fallow deer antlers for some reason, so I don't think it's better or worse, but definitely has its good point.
