Whole Prey vs. Pure Prey PMR: Which Is Right for Your Pet?

At My Pet Carnivore, we offer two distinct raw-feeding options to meet your pet’s dietary needs: Whole Prey and Pure Prey PMR. Understanding the differences between these two can help you make the best choice for your carnivore’s diet.

Whole Prey is the most straightforward option for raw feeding. As the name suggests, these products consist of intact whole prey, ground as a whole—bones, organs, meat, and all, minus the digestive tract. This approach closely mimics what carnivores would naturally consume in the wild, providing a balanced diet rich in nutrients in their most natural form.

Whole Prey is ideal for pet owners who want to replicate a true-to-nature diet. By feeding Whole Prey, you’re offering your pet a meal that mirrors what they would catch and eat in the wild, especially beneficial since pets thrive on a varied & natural diet.

We do not know the exact ratios of meat to bone to organs because we use the whole animal. This may result in some batches having slightly more bone, meat, or organs. This is not a bad thing but the way nature intended carnivores to eat. 

Our Pure Prey PMR products offer a slightly different approach while still adhering to the principles of a natural diet. These prey model raw (PMR) products are formulated using the 80/10/10 ratio—80% muscle meat, 10% bone, and 10% organ. This ratio emulates the nutritional profile of whole prey, while allowing for more precise control over the quality and composition of the ingredients.

Each Pure Prey PMR product is made from top-quality, human-grade ingredients, ensuring that your pet gets the very best. Like our Whole Prey options, Pure Prey PMR products consist of 100% single-prey, meaning all the components come from the same animal species. This can be particularly useful for pets with specific dietary needs or allergies.

If you are wondering which prey model is best for your pet?

Ultimately, both Whole Prey & Pure Prey PMR options offer excellent nutrition for your pet. Experimenting with both is a great way to add variety to your pets weekly menu.
