Hello Doctor can I give curry leaf stick to my doggo for bitting ...he is 8 months old Labrador puppy

Dr. Sharmila Rai

Hi! If you are intending to use it as a chew stick, it might not be good ideaas the stick can splinter and cause injuries in the mouth which may in turn get infected and cause problems in your puppy. It would be better to use chew toys or chew sticks for puppies for that purpose.

Yes neem plant does have medicinal properties but having said that the neem stick splinters could cause injuries in mouth and in severe cases oesophagus or other parts of the digestive system. It could turn harmful rather than beneficial for the puppy.
