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.
