Hey, Reader!

I’ve been feeding whole prey for years — but a whole prey duck? That was a first.

So when I finally had the chance, I filmed the entire thing.

In my newest post, you’ll see exactly how Wally and Pepper eat a whole prey duck from start to finish.

No edits. No “clean” version. Just real life.

Inside, I break down:

  • what whole prey feeding actually looks like
  • why it’s so effective
  • what’s going on inside the gizzard
  • and how this fits into a balanced raw diet

One thing that stood out to me the most?

How focused and calm both dogs were.

No rushing. No gulping. Just instinct.

If you’ve been curious about whole prey — or just never seen a dog eat a whole duck with feathers — this will give you a very real look at it.

Let me know what you think — I’d genuinely love to hear your reaction to this one.

Happy raw feeding,

Barbara
