This is just another version of raw feeding. I don't do the meat covered bones (except for beef ribs once in a while, but she doesn't eat the bone). My boss (pet food store owner) does the same as I do and her 8 year old Newfie/lab is incredibly healthy with great teeth, etc. PMR is not for me, though I know it is a very healthy way for dogs to eat. I make sure I meet all the nutritional needs plus her chewing/jaw muscle needs and do it in a way that is workable for us. She is incredibly healthy, well behaved, has the shiniest coat I've ever seen on a dog and super white teeth. She gets comments on her coat and teeth almost every day that we're out. Plus she absolutely loves her meals now

I go to the grocery store every 2 or 3 days for myself (I never know what I'm going to want and if I buy too far ahead the food tends to go uneaten) so it's been easy for me to just pick up food for the dog when I'm there. If I didn't shop as often I'm sure I could still go with the same plan (whatever's on sale or marked down) and freeze anything that won't be used within a couple days. I have a couple premade bars in the freezer too in case I forget run out, that will last for a full day which gives me time to restock.

So basically I feed raw, but I don't do the meaty bone style which is what I understand is a major part of PMR
