Exact Macro Component Breakdown:
Safe Raw Food Handling Guidelines:
- Never Cook Bones: Cooked bones become brittle and can splinter dangerously. Only feed raw, soft, pliable bones (e.g. chicken necks, duck wings).
- Safe Thawing: Always thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator, never at room temperature or in a microwave.
- Strict Hygiene: Wash cutting boards, prep bowls, and hands with hot, soapy water immediately after handling raw meats.
- Organ Balance: Do not feed more than 5% liver to avoid excessive Vitamin A accumulation; balance with kidney, spleen, or pancreas.
DIY Kitchen Prep vs. Pre-Portioned Delivery
Before stocking 30 lbs of chicken necks and beef liver in your freezer, weigh your schedule.
(~5.2 hours every week spent cutting, grinding, and sanitizing)
- Requires butcher trips to source secreting organs and raw bone.
- Demands dedicated freezer space (~1.2 cu ft for 1 month).
- High risk of nutritional calcium/phosphorus deficiency without exact supplementation.
- Messy cleanup and raw meat sterilization after every single batch.
(Thaw, peel, and serve directly in your dog's bowl)

Everything you need to know about calculating and feeding raw dog food safely.
Why is feeding by percentage of body weight so crucial?
Unlike processed kibble filled with carb heavy starch binders, fresh raw meat has high bioavailability and natural moisture. Feeding 2.0% to 3.0% of your adult dog's target body weight ensures they receive proper caloric density and essential fatty acids without causing unwanted obesity or skeletal strain.
What is the difference between Modified BARF and PMR?
Modified BARF (70/10/10/10) incorporates 10% pureed vegetables and low-glycemic fruits to supply phytonutrients, trace minerals, and prebiotic plant fiber that promote a healthy gut microbiome.
Prey Model Raw (PMR: 80/10/10) strictly follows whole carnivore biology without plant matter, deriving all nutrients entirely from muscle meat, edible bone, and secreting organs (5% liver and 5% kidney/spleen).
Can I feed cooked bones to my dog?
No, never feed cooked bones. Cooking calcifies and dries out bone structure, causing it to become brittle and splinter into sharp shards that can puncture the esophagus, stomach, or intestines. Only feed soft, raw, non-weight-bearing bones such as raw chicken necks, duck wings, or turkey necks under supervision.
How do I transition my dog from kibble to fresh raw food?
A gradual 7-to-10 day transition is recommended. Start with a single lean protein (such as plain ground turkey or chicken) at 25% of the daily portion for days 1β3, moving to 50% for days 4β6, and 75% for days 7β9. You can also add pure canned pumpkin or pet probiotics to support smooth digestion during the enzyme shift.
