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 dogs 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 dogs: Divide total daily feeding portion into 2 meals.
-
Puppies and pregnant or lactating females: Divide total daily feeding portion into 3-4 meals.

Zoe loves this food!
By Joy7 on Sep 11, 2020
Zoe is a 9 year old Miniature Schnauzer and a very picky eater. She absolutely loves this food! It's a little pricey, as is all raw freeze dried dog food, but worth the price to ensure she eats!

Too Costly
By cjc723 on Aug 6, 2020
It's such a shame that this food is not -affordable ! I have a Rescue , senior cats and dogs and I could certainly not be able to feed 5 senior dogs, 2 of which are a very large breed of dog. It saddens me that the mark up on healthy nutritional foods for man as well as beast can only be appreciated by the wealthy. Very Sad indeed!

My picky eater loves this!!
By Krissy on Jun 19, 2020
My baby, Monster, loves this food. We got a trial from a salesperson when we were traveling and it worked so well we were so happy. Monster has kidney disease and needs a super expensive prescription food. But he gets medication, supplements, weight gain elixir, and CBD each day and this is perfect for that! We use their goat's milk to moisten as well. He still eats his prescription food but just when he wants it. We do one nugget in the morning with all his medications and we are able to make sure that he eats something that day since he is such a picky eater. This is stuff is so great!

Won’t eat it
By Drea on Jul 19, 2020
Unfortunately my lymphoma pup won’t eat this food. Not sure if it is because he does not feel good or if it just does not smell good. Either way it is a no go at our house even though it was recommended highly by a veterinarian.

Wonderful even for picky pups
By Merrylass on May 29, 2020
My picky puppies are now 5 months old and it’s been a struggle to find to find good quality dog food with trustworthy ingredients that they will eat. I tried several options (e.g. The Honest Kitchen, Ziwi Peak, cooked recipes from veterinary nutritionists, etc.) and was frantic because they weren’t eating enough. I decided to try Primal once I discovered that my dogs really liked their Vital Essentials freeze dried treats so I ordered several flavors of Primal and Vital Essentials freeze dried dog food. My dogs LOVE both the Primal chicken and beef and I love the quality of the ingredients and the convenience.

Freezes Dried Doggie Food
By Jean on Sep 3, 2020
My 2 doggies love it, but get bored with food quickly, so I bought both flavors. I do feel freeze dried is costly.

MY YORKIE PUPPY LOVES IT!
By Shelly on May 11, 2020
I bought a small bag to give a try! Ingredients list catch me in! My 8 weeks 1.4lbs baby yorkie loves it! He will eat really excited. I switched without transitioning or mixing with the food breeder gave me and he is doing great! His poop is not runny as with the other food and IT DOES NOT STINKS! Amazing product! Since he is a puppy I add much more water to the nugget than what package says. Way to Go primal! Buying more formulas to try!

No More Picky Pup!
By DrMom on Jul 11, 2020
My 8 year old Yorkie was always a picky eater and I worried about her blood sugar. Since feeding her Primal, she cannot wait to eat and eats everything! She has so much energy and her coat looks amazing.
