Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think part of it is truly because they find it fun. They also like them as they find them tasty though it is not recommended to give them bones as they can choke on them or they can even result in a gastrointestinal obstrcution. Good luck and have a good night!
