Here at HillCountry Dachshunds we feed a 100% prey model RAW diet!

We purchase our RAW food from Reel Raw!

Reel Raw delivers FREE within the Austin, TX area or can ship your order to you!  You can buy in bulk and prepare the meals yourself, or they do offer a wonderful, quick and easy "pre-packaged" service where they pack prepare and store each of your dogs' meals!

What IS Prey Model Raw?

Prey-model raw is a diet for dogs based on their carnivorous digestive systems, and what is biologically appropriate food for them.  We follow a ratio of 80% muscle meat, 10% edible bone, 5% liver, and 5% other secreting organs, and use either whole prey or different pieces of animals to come close to feeding the parts of whole prey.  All food is fed raw, unseasoned and uncooked.

A few of the benefits I have personally seen in my dogs:

     

  • Excellent teeth (the raw bones are great "tooth brushes"!)
  • Tiny poops that DO NOT STINK and in less than a week disolve to dust... I literally DO NOT pick up poop -- EVER!
  • Thin, lean, trim dachshunds
  • Healthy, healthy, healthy!
  • NO skin issues or allergies (because it's what they are supposed to eat!)
  • Most importanly in my "line of work" -- Puppy mortality rates have dropped to ZERO!  Breeders lose puppies at birth - that's a fact and "just the way it is".  In the past I lost aproximately 10% of my puppies at birth or within 48 hours - simply due to not developing well or failure to thrive.   Since feeding PMR in July 2009 I have lost ZERO puppies at birth!
