So I just don't think that what is said to be a prey model diet is even what really goes on in the wild.

I pretty much feel this way currently.
I'm not *against* PMR -- I think if it works great for your dog, that's fantastic. But clearly this much thought did not go into a wolves diet in the wild.
But I often see people asking if loose poop is normal, if some blood is normal, if blah blah blah is normal, etc... and I'll see replies about a detox period, and yes it's normal. But if my dog was having extremely liquid poos for a few days, I would immediately write the diet off. JMO. I don't really consider it "normal".
I know premade raw is a lot more expensive, but I do feel more comfortable with it. Because I do agree that it's far from "natural" to feed kibble, and I think at least with premade raw, you are getting something a little bit more close to it.
