I am a great believer in feeding dogs how they would feed themselves as their forebears did.
I shoot a lot of deer quite often simply for my dogs own larder and instead of frigging around with a knife and making nice little patties or parcels of meat I will take a leg or rib cage and get into it with the axe on a hard wood stump, straight through the bones and hide then each dog gets its share,solid meat,solid and soft bones and the hide. They get the paunch and all the caul fat too.
Now the hide of Sambar deer is not covered in a "hair" it is covered in bristles,hard rough bristles too and the dogs eat that hide and the results show in their turds.
I took a pic of one piece today showing how the dog has absorbed the hide and schitt the bristles out. That shows how a dog can absorb the goodness even out of a thick deer hide.
All lined up after starting out as fiddlesticks in the gut,this in itself shows that dogs have the ability to cope with ingesting such. I suspect it was my old bitches work as she will take a feed up to the hay shed and lay in the loose hay and feed....there`s a bit of straw in it too ha ha.
No matter what it says on the commercial dog food package or can there is nothing like a complete meal the natural way.
