Questions & Answers

20 Customer Questions


Can I mix these into my dogs food with his regular kibble?

Answer by ChewyJul 24, 2019
This Freeze-Dried Dog Food can be mixed with dry kibble.

Is the beef grass fed?

Answer by ChewyOct 22, 2017
All of their animals are grain-free, grass fed and raised on vegetarian diets.

Do I have to rehydrate the nuggets? Or can I serve them as is?

Answer by ChewyJul 15, 2022
Primal recommends rehydrating this product with water or Primal Raw Goat Milk for optimum nutrition absorption. To rehydrate add 1 tablespoon of water or raw goat milk for every nugget, or 1/4 cup for 4 nuggets. For best rehydrating results, break nuggets into small pieces and mix thoroughly to force moisture into product.

Can this be mixed with Primal Raw Frozen? And...Can I alternate this with raw when traveling?

Answer by ChewyMar 30, 2020
Primal Beef Formula Nuggets Grain-Free Raw Freeze-Dried Dog Food can be mixed with Primal Frozen as well as raw.

This was my dog’s favorite food brand. Not anymore after their change in packaging and formula. Kibbles are hard, darker. My dog used to love this stuff now he won’t touch it at all. He would go all day not eating than to eat it. Why change something perfect? I was spending almost $150 a month for this but he used to like it so much it was not a problem. I tried switching pork, beef, nothing he would touch anymore. You lost a loyal customer!

I'm really disappointed. I usually rotate the flavors and stock up whenever there's a promotion. My dog just finished the old bag (version) of the food, and l opened a new bag of the upgraded formula but she refuses to eat it. I tried pork, then beef, and turkey sardine, and finally opened my last flavor, duck. She won't touch any of them, and I noticed they all smell the same now. It used to have their own unique smell to it, not anymore. Beef and pork is hard and turkey and duck is more softer.

Even though this is a freeze dried dog food, two of my cats love it too. They go crazy over it.

These nuggets are freeze dried, and I usually break the nuggets in half (the directions on the bag instruct to crumble each piece), but for whatever reason, the nuggets sometimes can't physically be torn or crumbled by hand (and I have strong hands). Cutting them by knife is useless, because my dog will not digest them properly and then cough until he womits up portions he couldn't digest. Ridiculous

Nuggets came broken and in powder

The bags I received contained mostly broken nuggets that were almost a fine powder. Not a lot usable to feed my dog

Changed formula, much worse now

I used to buy this in bulk and my dogs loved it. But since the packaging changed so did the formula. Now my dogs won’t touch it. Sucks because these aren’t cheap

I used to buy this in bulk and my dogs loved it. But since the packaging changed so did the formula. Now my dogs won’t touch it. Sucks because these aren’t cheap and you can definitely see and feel the difference, the parties are super hard to break up and don’t dissolve in hot water.

Order placed by phone. Dumb mistake

For my 13 pound dog I received a huge bag of dog food. More than years worth of the order was placed on the phone. I would not have gone thru that in a year.
