Thus, dog teething sticks can be regarded as an extra-food canine product that dogs can play with and chew at any time, but they should not be regarded as food for direct consumption. Most teething sticks will be labeled inedible because accidental ingestion by dogs may cause vomiting, diarrhea, intestinal obstruction and other symptoms, and even endanger the dog's life.
It is worth noting that there are some teething sticks on the market that are made from natural raw materials, such as cowhide sticks and pig's ears, etc. These chew treats have some nutritional value while relieving the dog's desire to chew and exercising the jaw muscles. However, these treats should not be over-consumed and you should make sure that your dog does not swallow them while consuming them.
In short, dog teething sticks are a safe and beneficial canine product, which is very helpful to the dog's oral hygiene and physical health, but they are not suitable for direct consumption, and owners must pay attention to the appropriate use and safety matters when purchasing and using them for their dogs.
