Bonnie (7 mo) has a rash on her left armpit area. It has been on going since I got her at 14 wks. She also has several itchy spots (one about 2 in. above her tail) that won't go away. I have decided to try raw feeding. I switched her from royal cainan to wellness no grain kibble. When she finishes this bag I am going to stop feeding kibble (maybe).
I got a package of chicken legs. She ate them ok, but does not try to eat the bone. If I am reading right, she needs to eat 10% bone, right? So how do I encourage her to eat the bone.

I have been a little worried about starting raw now, because I will be gone for 2 weeks in June. The first week she will be boarded at the Vet's office. I found the NV raw medallions yesterday, so I got a package of chicken. I think I may start out with this first, as it is more convenient for the people that will be feeding her while I am gone. My question is: The NV says to feed 4-5 medallions for a 10 lb dog. Bonnie is 5 lbs, so she will be getting 2-2.5 each day. Should I feed 1 in the morning and 1 at night with a small amt of kibble left out in the day. Or all at night or morning with kibble for other meal? Thanks
