Depends on what you class as prey model. The definition on the raw feeding Wikipedia article is "The "Prey model" diet attempts to simulate the proportions of an actual prey animal in a pet's diet"
I base mine on the proportions of the prey model diet - the 80/10/10 ratio. Unfortunately I can't feed as much whole animals as I'd like - I do get "whole" chickens - but they're plucked and portioned. The only whole prey animals (unskinned, unportions) I've fed on a regular basis is rabbit and chicks. I know of a butcher that specialises in hog roasts so hope to get raw trotters and maybe the odd pigs head in the future, but mine have been on minces, chunks and fillets for the past 2.5 years.
How many people on here actually feed solely/the majority of the diet as whole prey? Yet how many would happily summarise their dog's diet as "prey model"? I know some members prefer not to label their "method" at all, but for the sake of defining it, I will call mine prey model (or, at least, based on it). It may not be 100% accurate but close enough IMO
