Your dog may need to be assessed and treated by an animal behaviorist, or you may be able to manage these issues by making some simple adjustments to your dog's lifestyle. For example, by providing adequate exercise and mental stimulation for your pup, you'll reduce the likelihood of them eating sticks out of boredom. If they chew sticks due to stress, discovering the cause of their anxiety and removing it will help prevent the problem. The health problems that cause dogs to eat sticks or that occur as a result of this behavior can be expensive to treat. Finally, if behavioral issues are behind your dog eating sticks, it's important to get to the bottom of the cause of those issues.
