Because of the importance of moisture in a raw diet, 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.
-
Feed adult cats the equivalent of 2-3% of their body weight in rehydrated food per day.
Transition slowly. Begin by mixing 1/4 parts freeze-dried to 3/4 parts current diet. Gradually increase amount of freeze-dried daily.
-
Adult Cats: Divide total daily feeding portion into 2 meals.
-
Kittens and pregnant or lactating females: Divide total daily feeding portion into 3-4 meals.

CAT FOOD!!!!
By Amina on Nov 26, 2018
My cat loves this food! And is now eating twice a day, once in the am and again begging for it in the evening. I give her a smaller portion in the evening. She hasn't thrown up once with this food and seems to be a very happy baby! Thanks so much.

We call it "The awesome"
By Kelly on Dec 27, 2018
My cats all love this, and I feel good about feeding it to them. I break each nugget up into about 6-8 smaller pieces, moisten in warm water and top with bonita flakes.

Hard to “use”
By Difficult on Dec 15, 2018
MY cat LOVES these things however they are so impractical to use you have to wet them and break them apart also it’s hard to get the water to soak in :/

Best cat treat ever!
By Shauna on Oct 1, 2018
I got a sample of this and one of my cats is HOOKED. Too bad it is so expensive. He is getting low on what I ordered. Service with Chewy is the BEST ever for any place I have ever ordered from!

Definitely not fighting over the bowl
By Catlover on Oct 10, 2018
Only 2 of my 5 cats would eat it, and only one will finish bowl (1 nugget). Can’t rate on health benefits yet but they didn’t come running to the bowl.

Cats really like It
By Jesse on Sep 30, 2018
Cats love a combination of the Primal chunks crumbled, moistened, and mixed with a high quality canned food. They never reject meals any more so no waste.

Fantastic!
By MsGriego on Jul 18, 2018
My girls love this food! Having 3 picky eaters, that always want 3 different things, sprinkling this on top makes them all finally eat the same thing! Doesn't have awful ingredients, so I know my girls are getting the best! Can't recommend this enough! Its also very hard to find, since none of my local stores carry it! Thank you Chewy.com for making it easily accessible!
