Chewing on sticks is not safe for dogs. The splinter or larger fragment if stuck somewhere in the esophagus or lower can cause bleeding and obstruction. The worst is that the stick is radioluscent and cannot be detected by xrays.
Thank you for your comment. I am aware of the dangers of eating sticks. Max is just chewing off the bark but he doesn’t eat it. I did take the stick away after the photo. 🙂
Looks like Max is having fun. Chewing sticks in the presence of their owner can’t harm any dog, especially one as mindful as you are Linda. Great shot of this adorable furry of yours. 😀

Thanks, Sonel. He gave it up willingly and I rewarded him with freeze-dried beef liver treats. Hahaha
