Zolux Original Nature Deer Antler Puppy Chew, From 3 Months

Zolux Original Nature Deer Antler Puppy Chew is a short split antler with its ends rounded off, meant for a puppy working through the chewing stage on milk teeth.

Key Benefits

• Split lengthways and bevelled at both ends, so there is no square corner for a small mouth to catch on
• From three months, which is Zolux's own floor for it
• 60 to 80 g and 14 to 16 cm, a piece a puppy can hold down with a paw
• Marrow open along the face, which is the part a puppy actually goes for
• Guaranteed wild antler casting, says the tag: European deer shed their antlers every year and these are gathered off the ground afterwards. Nothing is killed to make one.
• One ingredient and no second one. No preservative, no colouring, no added flavour, nothing sprayed on.

Good To Know

• Each one is a piece of a wild animal's antler, so the shade, the bend and where it sits in the stated range all differ from the photograph. Yours will not be the one pictured.
• Stay in the room. The moment it is chewed down small enough to go in whole, take it off the dog and throw it out - that is the point at which a good chew becomes a choking risk.
• Milk teeth come out on their own between four and seven months. A little blood on a chew around then is usually a tooth going, not a tooth breaking, but if a puppy stops using one side of its mouth, get it looked at.
• Start short. Fifteen minutes, then put it away, for the first few goes - the marrow is concentrated stuff and a dog that empties one in a sitting may tell you about it later.
• Zolux say the scraping leaves teeth cleaner. Take it as a side effect worth having rather than a reason to skip brushing or the yearly look in the mouth.
• Zolux give it five years on the shelf. Dry and out of the sun is all it asks for; no fridge, no wrapping.
