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.

Cats love it but recommended amounts are way too low
By Angel on Jan 13, 2021
We fed our cats double the recommended daily for only nugget diet, but still, the vet said they were underweight. We gave them extra and are supplementing with some instinct raw infused kibble and they act and appear much fuller. My cats go crazy for this food at breakfast and dinner, and they eat it all!

If it doesn't taste good what good is it?
By dabr on Dec 5, 2020
This may be the "healthiest" food for cats, and the ingredient list is near perfect, but neither of my cats will touch it. I've tried the three ways the directions list to moisten - water, goat milk, or broth. Nope. They look at me like I'm trying to kill them! AND This stuff was EXPENSIVE!

Why are most of you adding water?
By Randolph on Aug 21, 2020
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.

Someone else complained that they're hard to cut; no they're not. If anything, they're like "soylent brown;" they crumble too easily. 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

Raw food at its worst
By Ginny on Nov 11, 2020
This freeze dried raw food is in rectangles and has to be mashed up in water. My cats do not like it.

don't know why

Great food topper
By makepetshappy on May 26, 2020 Top 1000 Contributor
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.

My cats hate it
By Kaii on Apr 28, 2020
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.
