Prey Model Raw (PMR)

Before domestication, dogs had to source their own food. No gourmet dinners, no fancy meals—just pure survival. They hunted and scavenged for any meat they could find.

Enter the Prey Model Raw (PMR) Diet. This feeding plan mimics a dog's natural hunting diet, packed with essential vitamins and nutrients. It offers a complete, biologically appropriate diet for dogs without the need for supplements.

Imagine a wild dog. It doesn't slice its steak into perfect cubes or mince meat. It eats everything—fur, bones, organs, and all. The PMR Diet replicates this by including muscle meat, organs, connective tissue and bones. For added benefits, you can even include animal fur. 

Benefits of the Prey Model Raw Diet
The PMR Diet provides key nutrients that promote your dog's health. Expect more energy and vitality. Processed foods can't match this.
Chewing raw meat, bones, and fur taps into your dog's natural instincts, satisfying their primal urges. Plus, the act of chewing improves dental health and controls oral bacteria, often resolving bad breath.

The "Prey Model" method crafts your dog's diet using the following proportions found in wild prey animals. And it's all done with raw products that are easy to find.

Here’s the breakdown of a prey model raw diet:

• 80-85% Muscle meat

• 10-15% Raw meaty bones

• 5-10% Organs & Offal (with half of this amount being liver)

And what’s off the menu?

• Fruits

• Vegetables

• Dairy

• Excessive supplements

 

How do you serve it up? Two bold options:

Whole Prey - Some dog owners go all out, giving their dogs whole prey. Popular options include: rabbit, wallaby, possum and hare.  This can be a wonderful option for a large dog, but smaller dogs are going to struggle to eat an entire animal.  Therefore the next method will suit them better ...

"Frankenprey" - Mix and match various animal proteins to hit the PMR diet ratios. The recommended guidelines are 75-80% muscle meat, 10% raw edible bone, 5% liver, 5% other secreting organs, and 0-5% animal-based fiber.
