RAW Chicken is a great part of dogs and cats' diets, because a suitably sized chicken part has all the elements of a healthy meal -- lean meat, fat, and bone. Chicken is also inexpensive. COSTCO sells 10-pound bags of chicken thighs @ $1.10/lb. Whole chickens are $1.29/lb. Safeway has periodic chicken sales at less than $1.00/lb. COSTCO sells organic chickens, at a higher price. Hawaii Beef Producers supplies organic chicken necks in approximately 10-pound packages @ $3.25/lb. unit is 1 = 10 pounds. Choosing right-sized pieces to feed your pet is important. Pieces should be large enough to require chewing, not small enough to be swallowed whole.
