Also, talking of bones: modern domestic dogs have much thinner tooth enamel than their wild ancestors and bones are often too hard. It is not uncommon for dogs who are regularly given bones as treats, to wear their teeth down early and end up with dental problems. So, my advice is if giving bones, make it very occasional and get bones which have been treated rather than just from the butcher.
For more general chewing/gnawing much better to get nylabones which mimic the features and textures of a bone, but have a little give to them so that they don't wear the enamel down. They also are made with fibres that clean the dogs teeth as they chew.
