The Ziwipeak website sells them. Also, amazon or wag.com.

I asked for a sample ages ago and never got anything. Think ZP are a bit rubbish in this country. I didn't know deer shed their antlers...you learn something new every day!

WOW that is great! I have not tried their antlers

I took some pics of the antler after Jaxx chewed on it yesterday evening. Hopefully you can tell how much he has chewed.

It is hard to see in the picture but he has the marrow dug out all the way down the antler. It was nice and flat when I gave it to him now it looks like he is trying to dig out a roadway in the antler.

He has already got a bite out of the actual antler as you can see. He usually saves the actual antler for last after he has all the goody stuff out of the inside

OMG this is so good! Mommy must really love me to give me these nummies.

We're not allowed to have Antlers as dog treats imported through Customs so the only antlers we get here are local, but they're horrid. HOWEVER, if they're listed on the Customs Declaration as "Antlers for Craft/Button making" I can legally import a shipload, grrrr again lol.

Wow that is just silly!

Is it just for business imports or could someone send you deer antlers for a gift and it would pass through?

We are about to transition Arnie onto ZP but we are reluctant to buy a big bag if he doesn't like it (VERY fussy eater) so I emailed ZP just a second ago to find out about sending a sample, they emailed back within 5 mins to say they were sending something! I live in the UK so it's good to know they care about us Brits too!

So long as they were marked "Button Making Materials" they'd go through without a care in the world (providing of course no meat, hair, mud etc was on them). If they were marked "Dog Treats" they'd be confiscated, shredded in the steel jaws of death & I'd receive a letter threatening me with criminal charges if I attempted the same thing again lmao. Imagine going to jail for antlers

All I can say is Jaxx is a darn super-dog!!! Mine have standard Aussie Antlers they ignore and 1 x ZiwiPeak Antler that somehow found it's way in with a bunch of toys several months ago

- all 4 have taken turns chewing on that daily and it's not even marked.

Sigh, I wish we had those super Yak Milk/Cheese treats over here, they sound beyond fantastic - Jazz would probably grate/shred one up in seconds bless him
