PMRย is designed to provide family catsย with a homemade diet that replicates the diet of a wild felineย without requiring the pet to hunt and kill wild prey while eliminating all processed foods and grains.ย A complete PMR diet for cats consist of 84% muscle meat, 6% raw edible bone, 5% liver, and 5% other organs in order to achieve optimal balance.
Franken prey is another term used for raw feeders who follow ratio guidelines of PMR, but feed a variety of different cuts of meats to complete their catโs meal to correct guidelines. Meals can consist of multiple protein sources in a single feeding.
Protein Examples
It is optimalย to feed whole cuts or whole prey to a cat to provide teeth cleaning benefits, higher taurine levels, and endorphin release. Feeding grinds does not provide teeth cleaning benefits and grinding exposes the natural taurine in the meat to oxygen which destroys the amino acid.
