I do not let puppies chew on sticks. After adoption one of my prior foster puppies had a piece of a stick become lodged in the soft tissue in his mouth causing infection. He had to have surgery to remove it. I stick with appropriate chew toys for puppies and usually keep one or two in the yard for them to play with too. Best of luck and enjoy that puppy!

It could be a sign of teething but I’d say no. Don’t let the puppy do it for infections or damage the new growing teeth
I agree with Laura, however I know it’s hard to watch them all of the time? If you catch him eating a stick, try replacing it with a chew toy.
I wouldn’t. Sticks can get stuck in the mouth.
