Dogs famously love to chase and chew on sticks, but what happens if they take it a step further — can dogs eat sticks?
While technically dogs can (and will) eat anything they feel like, the real question here is “can dogs safely eat sticks”? There may be no more iconic image than a dog with a stick in their mouth, but sadly there are several reasons why you shouldn’t let your pooch eat sticks. Dogs chewing on sticks can lead to splinters or other damage to their mouth or intestinal tract, and bits of the stick can become a choking hazard if they break off.
