While I'm not suggesting that this is a good option, if you are set on feeding raw, prey model with extremely reduced fat may be an option (could be formulated by a veterinary nutritionist, but some of them are really against it, so it's not their favorite thing to formulate...). Even then though, with raw chunks of meat, the fat may be difficult to pick off. So it could still be risky.
I think the story I read only used the organic chicken formula and was directed by their personal vet to do so. I guess that formula is significantly lower in fat?? It's also MUCH more expensive though.
