One of the reasons for not feeding turkey skin is that it’s very fatty which can lead to gastric problems Pancreatitis being a serious inflammatory condition of the pancreas that causes vomiting and dehydration.
Another is it’s a very tough skin and given to dogs as a skin it can get caught on the way down bigger dogs can cope with eating large long skins far better than your average size dog but on the Pancreatitis front it’s not good.
Also, depending on the way it was raised, the skin often contains more hormones and fat since that’s where manufacturers inject to “plump” up the bird. :ok:
