Do dogs really like bones?

Answer 1

Yes they do. Wolves in the wild will often take a bone after they make a kill and will chew on it. It is one of their natural instincts becasue it also helps to wear down tartar. It also probably tastes meat.

Answer 2

My dog likes bones because he likes the smell, he likes the taste, and he needs something to chew.

However, I don't give him bones because my vet said that bones can hurt a dog's teeth, or can break into sharp pieces that are bad. Also, you really don't need to encourage most dogs to eat, by giving them meaty bones. So, I give my dog hard rubber toys... and carrots (!!!) to chew on. At first he didn't like carrots, but I kept giving him little pieces, and now he looks forward to this after-dinner snack.

Answer 3
