According to canine dentistry specialists, elk antlers are not recommended for your dog as they can cause dental fractures. To prevent dental fractures, any object which is too hard to be broken or folded by hand should be avoided, even if the packaging of the product claims that it is good for teeth. Also, if the object is round, there is the risk that all the chewing force be exerted by a single tooth, which increases the risk of fracture. You should always supervise your dog when introducing a new object to be chewed. Your veterinarian is experienced when it comes to your dog’s oral health. Do not hesitate to ask him questions!
