Sticks

[CosmoH]

I have a question about chewing on sticks, wood chips, etc. Murphy LOVES to chew on them. My inclination is to let him but I'm curious what you think about it. We have a bush in our back yard that died and he's been going to town on it. I just want to make sure I'm not putting him at risk.

Thanks

probably not a good idea no matter how much they chew it up there is always a chance of getting some stuck in their throat. I know this because my neices dog got a 2 inch piece of a stick stuck in his throat. He had to have surgery to remove it.

I agree and some plants/shrubs can be toxic to them. Mine love them too but I discourage it
