Someone on one of the mushing lists said that she'd

what she found. I haven't tried it and don't know whether
or not she was exaggerating but it sounds like an
interesting thing to do. Crap like bones and feather and
beak oughtn't to make your dog sick but they don't provide
much in the way of nutrition, either.

I have a very hard time believing that bone, feather and beak could be
distinguised in something that has been ground up, formed into kibble, and
then dissolved...
