How do you get a stick out of a choking dog?

If a dog is choking on a stick, you should first try to remain calm and assess the situation. If you can see the stick and it's safe to do so, carefully try to remove it with your fingers, avoiding pushing it further down. If the stick is not visible or cannot be easily removed, perform the Heimlich maneuver for dogs: hold the dog with its back against your chest, make a fist just below the rib cage, and thrust inward and slightly upward. If the dog is still choking, seek immediate veterinary assistance.
