Preparing and Feeding a Prey Model Raw Diet

Описание: My husky puppy Zeus finally transitions to a raw food diet. He got sick off of our kibble diet so I bought him raw meat after researching all the great benefits PMR diet has.

Prey model raw is just what its name implies. The diet is modeled on the prey our dogs would eat in their natural, wild environment. In short, prey model raw is biologically-appropriate for dogs. What exactly is a dog's natural, wild environment? We need only look to the wolf.

Since dogs have been classified as a sub-species of the wolf (Canis lupis familiaris), and because their digestive anatomy and physiology are identical to that of the wolf, prey model raw-feeders feed their dogs as wolves. Since most of us cannot offer our dogs a truly "whole prey" experience (think whole rabbit or deer carcasses), we "piece" together an approximation of that prey animal, striving to feed as close to whole prey as possible.

Prey model raw operates on the knowledge that dogs, like their lupine counterparts, are carnivores, NOT omnivores. Specifically, dogs are what it is known as facultative carnivores. This means that dogs are anatomically and physiologically designed to eat the meat and bones of animals, and though they can and will eat vegetation and plant matter when their ideal food is unavailable, they merely subsist on such food and can by no means thrive or be healthy on it.
