Primal Chicken & Salmon Formula Nuggets Grain-Free Raw Freeze-Dried Cat Food

I looked at the reviews and noticed most of you are adding plain water. Since you're paying top dollar for some of the best cat food available, Why aren't you rehydrating these nuggets with a premium liquid like warm bone broth or raw milk? I'm giving these nuggets to my 12 yo black persian who requires a premium quality diet. I once tried to rehydrate these with only water, but that was a bust. Unless we're talking about a starving cat, premium / home made bone broth or raw milk is the only way to satisfy their taste buds, really, and it's healthier for them; that's a member of your family - Why wouldn't you give them the best? Someone else complained that they're hard to cut; no they're I looked at the reviews and noticed most of you are adding plain water.

All you need is a sharp knife or cleaver, then hold the nugget firmly on the sides to cut it into further cubes. I am using Primal Nuggest as a topper for Honest Kitchen's grain free recipe (as a gravy base). I'm sure to humans this is a bizarre combination, but my black persian says, "this is my go to dinner because I finish it every time!" … more

My two cat loves this but this does need to break it down, another thing is I tried the adding water to it as instructed but my cats did not like that.

This freeze dried raw food is in rectangles and has to be mashed up in water. My cats do not like it.

Tried it dry, tried it wet, tried it with broth, tried it as topping, nothing worked.

I had one cat who was very picky and wasn't really eating his wet food so someone recommended this as a food topper. I've been using it now for almost two years and it works so well, the cats come running over for their meals. The bag is kind of pricey but because I just use it as a topper it lasts a pretty long time so it's worth it for me.

The food is great. My babies are more active, their coats look great, my vet got me to switch twice to soft food for health reasons, and the cats coats were not as sleek, and their teeth had a lot of tarter, and they were more sedentary. So why 3 stars? The food has become very inconsistent. Over dry bricks that are hard to break, and finally a whole bag that was yellow green, and smelled like formaldehyde. I am in the process of investigating another raw food.

These freeze dried nuggets are disgusting. Both of my cats refuse to eat them. My male cat grew up eating Primal nuggets, but these freeze dried ones are not a hit or with either of them. Not only do they smell funny but it looks like a bunch of grey slop once water is added. I highly recommend not wasting the time and money to buy the Primal freeze dried nuggets. There are Primal nuggets that aren’t freeze dried, they are better quality.

I have an elderly cat with heart disease and arthritis, so I thought I would research food and see if it helps her feel better. My first attempt at freeze dried food was this bag, Meat Mates beef, and Stella and Chewy Duck. If I feed this one dry, they all love it, but if I soak it in water, none of them will eat it at all. So weird. I actually figured it out on accident as one of the dry cubes fell on the floor and my tabby cat started biting at it and eating it. Now I break it up with a fork so there are bite size pieces and feed it dry. The Meat Mates is my favorite texture, it's small little pellet size makes it easy to rehydrate and easy for the cats to eat.

My cats love the rabbit Primal Nuggets but they will not go near these. I don't blame them because it smells awful.

I just started my elder cat in this as she exhibited IBS and was getting a large midriff. This raw food was perfect. She lost the weight/obstruction and started to appear more agile/flexible. She is a different cat now. I will continue this product for sure.
