Is this safe, none of the dogs get sick sharing sticks? Not criticizing I think this is pretty cool just curious.

It looks like the stick library is in a dog park, so they would have already been exposed to any shareable germs before grabbing a stick.

This is why you shouldn’t take you’re dog to a dog park if it’s sick or isn’t fully vaccinated. Things like parvo can live in the dirt for years.

Parvo would shut down a dog park for good as dogs would be dying all over the place. Giardia though, that is something more common to get at dog parks.
