Yonjuro Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) I was wondering if anyone has tried goat horns as a chew. I noticed Butchers Superior has brought them out. I don't give my boy deer antlers out of fear of him breaking a tooth but was interested in whether they would be the same?

Teebs Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yep. They are bloody hard though, Kaos still has one from 4 weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 When you say 'horns' - are they with or without bone ? Horns & antlers are obviously different materials . It's an interesting thought - our dogs have never really shown an interest in chewing horns - perhaps they need some sort of treatment ....

Yonjuro Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 They appear to be dried with the bone inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teebs Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Kaos wouldn't touch the antlers, I have one sitting here she just pushes out of the way! So I can't tell you how they compare, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivory & Beau Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Noticed City Farmers had goat horns while I was there today so I grabbed a packet and they're a hit! Only two per pack but they're pretty big. Decided they are going to be an indoor chew toy only so they don't go missing. Grabbed a couple of cow hooves too but they goat horns are more popular here.
