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

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’m thrilled to feel her put on a little weight and she seems more spunky too. … more

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.

I bought this brand when the Chewy brand was not available. My cat refused to eat it. So when the Chewy brand was here I just added some of the Primal food to it so it wouldn't get wasted. I can't say that there is anything wrong with this food, I think my cat was spoiled with the Chewy brand. I would recommend that you try it because I know it is a good brand.

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.

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.

No Carrageenan, no guar-gum, no by-products. I really couldn't be happier a friend suggested giving Primal cat food a try. I have a picky eater and he absolutely adores the Chicken & Salmon flavor and I love the nutritional benefits. If I could give this food 1000 stars I would, and I'm sure my kitty would agree.

I’ve wanted to try raw cat food for awhile and picked up a small bag at the local pet store. We have 7 cats, and not one of them would eat it. Warm, cold...didn’t matter. At least it wasn’t a total waste. Our dogs loved it.

The nuggets break up easily when smashed with a fork and don't take long to absorb the water - not that it matters as my cats have their faces in the bowl as I'm trying to add the water! This is their breakfast and is always gone when I check the bowls at lunch time to make sure they have dry food.

My kitten loves this food but eats like she has four stomachs. I nearly going through a bag a week of this stuff and spending upwards of $120 a month. I wish they could make this more affordable as I was forced to move to another food. Worth the price if you can pay it.

So, I was super nervous to order this food. My cat isn't finicky, but I have zero experience with raw feedings. I opted for the freeze dried out of convenience and I don't believe it effects quality whatsoever. Finn (my cat) seems to really enjoy it. He's not losing his mind excited like some other reviews, but he licks his bowl clean. I also have added a smidge of Primals goat milk to it which he also seems to like. He weighs about 9 lbs and could spare to lose a pound or so (he's very petite). One nugget per meal is plenty for him, it breaks into quite the serving! One thing I will say, you have to give it time to truly turn smooth and wet. Add warm water and wait a few minutes like the package So, I was super nervous to order this food.

Add warm water and wait a few minutes like the package says, it really does make a difference. In the smaller bag, there seems to be around 25 nuggets. I don't know how consistent that'll be, but it makes this type of feeding affordable for me! … more
