We just started prey model and that is essentially what we do!
When it's a bone meal we just lay down towels in the kitchen (or feed outside) and give the dogs a chicken wing/drumstick.. etc. They love it and I know it sounds cheesy but there was something awe-inspiring about watching dogs eat what they were meant to eat in the wild.
You could feed a rotation diet, alternating kibble and raw. Nature's Variety recommends this for variety. Personally I will never feed kibble again unless I absolutely have to but I can understand the economic concern and the convenience. Feeding pre-made raw can be quite expensive but I've found that prey-model is costing me the same as what I was paying for Wellness CORE every month. Once I start buying in bulk and get a deep freezer it will be even less. There are some raw-feeders on my groups who feed 3 large dogs for under $50 a month! It's incredible.
PS. The medallions are just 1 oz. round chunks of raw meat, comparable to ground beef. They come frozen and you just thaw in the refrigerator, throw it into their bowls and mash it up with a fork or whatever. They eat it pretty quickly and it's relatively mess-free.
