FEEDING MODELS

At We The People Pets, we’re committed to providing the best, nutrient-rich options for your furry family members. We focus on two raw feeding models: Prey Model Raw (PMR) and Biologically Appropriate Raw Food (BARF). Both feeding styles have their unique benefits, and we encourage rotating between them for a well-balanced diet.

• Prey Model Raw (PMR): This model is based on a ratio of 80% muscle meat, 10% edible bone, and 10% organs, closely mimicking what dogs would eat in the wild.
• BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food): This model typically includes 80% muscle meat, 10% edible bone, 5% organs, and 5% finely ground fruits and vegetables. However, we do not add any fruits or veggies to our raw dog food. We believe in complete transparency, so if you’d like to include fruits and veggies, you can add them separately to your dog’s diet, and we’ll have them available for you to add to your order.

We recommend rotating between different protein sources, as each offers unique health benefits, ensuring your dog gets the most balanced diet possible.

If you prefer to prepare your dog’s meals, our raw feeding products cater to DIY enthusiasts, typically following the PMR style. This approach is ideal for those who want complete control over their dog’s diet, and we’re happy to supply a wide range of products for your DIY journey. If you need something we don’t have listed, just ask—we’re always here to help!

Treats are a fun and tasty way to reward your pup, but remember to keep them in moderation. We recommend that treats should make up no more than 2% of your dog’s daily diet. As always, provide fresh water when feeding treats to ensure your dog stays hydrated.

We recommend feeding based on your pet’s weight and activity level:

• Very active or needs to gain weight: Feed 4% of their body weight daily.
• Moderately active or maintaining weight: Feed 3% of their body weight daily.
• Less active or needs to lose weight: Feed 2.5% of their body weight daily.

At We The People Pets, we’re here to support your journey into raw feeding. Feel free to reach out with any questions, and let’s work together to give your dog the nutrition they deserve!
