What Is the Prey Model Raw (PMR) Diet?

The Prey Model Raw (PMR) diet is designed to mimic what canines would naturally eat in the wild—whole prey animals, without any grains, fruits, vegetables, or synthetic supplements. It’s a biologically appropriate way of feeding that supports your pet’s health through real, unprocessed nutrition.

At Ancestral Raw Nutrition, we stand behind the PMR philosophy and source only the highest-quality meats, bones, and organs to ensure your pet thrives on a species-appropriate diet.

🌿 No Fruits. No Veggies. No Fillers.

Some pet owners believe that adding vegetables, fruits, or supplements is essential for balanced nutrition. Science—and nature—suggest otherwise.

Dogs and other carnivores have evolved to get all their nutrients from the prey they consume:
✔️ Muscle meat
✔️ Organs (like liver, kidney, spleen)
✔️ Edible bones

These components contain the full spectrum of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your pet needs—without the plant matter their bodies aren’t built to digest.

In fact: Feeding PMR may help reduce visits to the vet for these common (and costly) issues. Food for thought.

🧬 Backed by Science, Inspired by Nature

Our approach is rooted in the research of renowned wolf biologist L. David Mech, who has studied wild canines for decades. His work confirms that carnivores meet their nutritional needs by consuming entire prey—meat, bones, and organs.
