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.

My 3 year old tabby loves this! She prefers it crumbled up and dried rather than with water added. 1 cube can keep her full for the most of the day - which means she eats less dry food and doesn't gain as much weight compared to solely eating dry food. She will get 1 cube in the morning and about a third of a cup of dried food that she will graze about for throughout the day. Have been feeding her this for a year now and she has never had any stomach issues or throwing up.

First time customer. tried several 5.5 oz primal nuggets. My cat would only eat chicken with salmon and turned her nose up at venison and beef with salmon. She liked the chicken & salmon so much I ordered the large size.

I'm giving this 5 stars simply on my 2 cats reaction. They both licked their bowls clean for the first time ever. I will have to try this product for a while to see how it affects other things, but as of right now my cats love this food.

This is a brand to applaud for its absolute highest ethical and nutritional standards of production. Good news is my cat clowder are nuts over it, they lick the dehydrated dust as if it were catnip. I find a mortar and pestle highly useful to pulverize to a powder before dripping in and mixing with warm water to result in a pate-like texture. If my gang didn't like it (but they DO) I'd spice it up a bit and eat it myself.

My cat likes this food. so as long as he eats it, it's okay with me. He usually gets Stella and Chewy's freeze dried, which I like because they are round little nuggets instead of one big nugget that I have to break into smaller pieces.

It's just my cats. They think this (particular flavor) stuff is gross. It may be that they are used to the rabbit freeze-dried nuggets, and no other will do. Maybe they are Loyalists, or they know I give whatever they will not eat to a friend who feeds the wild cats in his neighborhood, and my guys have a design for the greater good.

My 17 yr old kitty has always been such a picky eater, many times refusing food for up to 5 days, which always put me in a panic! I’d offer everything I could find and she’d sniff and jump down, leaving the food to get dry and crusty. She’s never been more than 9# at her prime, but with her age, she’s actually down to around 7.5# now. So any food wars can make her too weak and fragile now. I thought I’d try this because I feel like the wet food is the fish from the pacific that’s been affected by the Fukushima leakage (500 tons a day of radio active nuclear waste leaking into the pacific everyday for over 5 years!). I can’t help but feel I’m poisoning my kitties! So I tried this.

I have to hide this in a cabinet so the cats cannot get to it. They would open the bag and eat all of it. I use this as a treat for my dogs and cats. They love this stuff. They can be a sleep in another room in the house I can ask who wants a treat and instantly they are standing in front of me. Love this stuff.
