Okay, here's the deal.
Skin is an organ but it is not a suitable replacement for liver. You
are right to assume that skin has value as part of the "5% of other
organs" but whenever you have the opportunity to feed squidgy ick
body parts like kidney, spleen, pancreas, brain, etc. you should do
so.

I don't think the amount of skin one feeds should be limited in order
to shoehorn it into that "other 5%" catagory--feed skin freely unless
the dog's digestive response tells you to lighten up.

The point I was trying to make is that there more organ-y
opportunities than one might realize at first glance. It's not all
that difficult to get organ variety into our dogs, but perhaps it
would be wise to remember that organs have a muiltitude of
responsibilities and should not be considered interchangeable.

Yes?
