Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| I want to feed my two boys (Cheech and Casper, 9 yr old 65lb Sibes) the Prey Model Raw diet. However, I am not home from the hours of 7 AM to 2:50. Is there any way to remedy this? |

| I don't feed PMR, but my assumption would be is you feed them at scheduled times either in the morning, evening, or both (half/half). PMR is not something you would "free feed" for obvious reasons. _________________ |

| Someone else with more knowledge and experience will post (I hope) but in my research of raw feeding, it seems as if many people who have older dogs only feed 1x per day. If you or your pups don't like that idea maybe adjust your routine so that you can feed them early before you leave and then in the evening. |

| My fiancé and I are gone from 8-5 on week days and have no problem feeding PMR. She usually eats 8 oz at 7 am, 5 pm then 8 pm, so a total of 1.5 pounds a day since she is still rapidly growing |

| An adult dog can be fed one meal a day of raw food just fine, one does not need to be home all day to feed a PMR diet. Some people prefer to feed 2 meals a day which is also fine. Ultimately it's up to you how many meals a day you make of it and what times you feed. My adult dogs get one main meal a day, whether that meal is kibble or raw, doesn't matter. _________________ |

| PMR purists believe that you should randomize feeding times. I get the idea of it, in the wild dogs don't have the luxary of saying, "hey, it's 6pm, I'd better eat". They eat when a food source becomes available. So if you were going to a hard core true Prey Model, you would need to be home to feed at random various times of the day. But as others have said, you can feed a nice heathly raw diet and feed only once or twice a day. People life gets hectic, so I just feed her on a regular schedule. I feed my 52 lb female 1 lb of raw once daily, and she's happy and satisfied. I'm probably too late to this thread, but thought I'd chime in. |

| Honestly I've never head of purposely randomizing and varying times just for PMR. That's silly.
Some of the things that come out from the "hardcore PMR" people is silly. _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?! Join our facebook meetup group! |

| Hahaha, yeah. Like I said I get it in theory. But the reality is they are domesticated pets and we have complicated human lives. Plus a scheduled feeding stops the random begging. I would like if my dog never knew what time meal time is, she'd constantly be asking |
