1a. A few questions

We are on day 3 of feeding Sophie raw! I bought chicken leg
quarters because they were $0.59/lb & whole chickens were $1.39/lb.
There is another sale at another store for bone in breasts for
$.99/lb. So I think I'll pick some of these up to make it more like
I'm using whole chickens, then I can alternate between the 2. Also
should I be feeding giblets? I can get a tub of them pretty cheap,
but I wasn't sure if it was too early to introduce them (although I
realize they count towards the meat ratio not the organ)is it too
soon? I'm planning to keep her on chicken for a couple weeks
depending on how she does with it. I was planning on doing Turkey
next (legs, wings, necks breasts).

Prior to feding raw, Sophie had a new, red, itchy spot on her
tummy. I'm keeping an eye on it but so far it is still there. With
a little dried blood from scratching. Anything I can do for that?
I'm not sure if it is from the heat or what.

Also, Sophie is due for her heart worm prevention pill. Do you
still use this commercial product? Last question, what do you use
for flea & tic prevention? I'm sure there is something more natural
than what we are using! That is one of the few chemicals that
enters this house & I'd love to replace it with something that I can
feel good about! TIA

I have been feeding raw now for close to 2 years, and was told my dog
was super allergic to all sorts of stuff. Through excellent quality
meat - variety being a must, and through homeopathy, my Katie does the
best with variety. She can eat everything! Never the same meal two
days in a row!!!
