Lightbulb Home made ground raw

Hello, and welcome!
Yes, those brands are what's called pre-made RAW, formulated to the BARF diet (biologically appropriate raw food) which is the basis that a dog is an omnivore (those brands include veggies and things) which he's NOT. Dog is carnivore! What myself and others here on this thread are feeding is the "Prey Model diet". Whole cuts of RAW meaty bones, organ meats, fish and eggs. All in RAW UNCOOKED AND NOT GROUND FORM.
A typical "prey" animal is made up of approx. 80% meat, 10% edible bones and 10% organs which is what we're trying to mirror by feeding our dogs this way at home. While pre made might be a good starter food for people new to raw, long term it is not advisable as it doesn't clean those teeth as prey model will.
