Like everyone its a lose lose scenario. While they are young they will chew sticks. I compromise because its impossible to enforce on two dogs. I let them chew but when they start breaking it up or chewing small pieces or spend to long on a stick I give them the "off".

Not sure if its bad for them or not, I worry about the splinters thats all.

Bark is softer and id guess small amounts are probably good for them in terms of fibre and pooping well.

Moderation. Once they get older they will ease off, generally while teething 4-6 months they are a nightmare for chewing this sort of thing.
