We give our dogs bones at least once weekly as we were told it helps keep their teeth in good condition. We place them at the bottom of the food bowl so they have a surprise to chew and snack on later. I think if you pamper the dogs too much all you are doing is weakening their system. Dogs love to get to the marrow ad why they sped hours gnawing away. My parrot loves the chicken drumstick and cracks it open like a pro and removes all the nutrients from the center.

There is definitely a lot to this statement. Dogs that do not do what they were designed to do from an evolution standpoint end up becoming weak the same way that humans, now that we have technology to do almost everything for us, are becoming fatter over time and more susceptible to disease. Dogs were designed to chew on bones and since they don't exactly brush their teeth, this is the only way for most of them to maintain their dental health.
