Hi shelties mom –

A whole prey animal will have the correct muscle meat/organ meat/bone ratio. The 80/10/10 model that raw feeders use is based on an approximation of a whole prey animal. So as long as you’re including all the organs the ratio will be in balance. Some animals are slightly higher in bone than others – for example a rabbit or cornish game hen will have a slightly higher percentage of bone than say a whole deer or cow – but it doesn’t need to be exact. As long as you’re somewhere between 7-13% bone you should be good.
