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.

Great Ingredients
By Teeavilnor on Feb 9, 2020
I give this to my 2 fur babies as a treat, they share half a nugget, I’m sure they would eat one each. But it’s a bit too expensive to give it to them as a regular meal. I am very particular about the ingredients in their food, & treats. The duck is the only flavor I will give them because it does not contain the cod liver oil.

Great deal from Chewy
By Bagman on Feb 18, 2020
My cats will only eat duck so I am glad you carry this item. Good price, free shipping and great return policy.

Highly Recommended
By Jaynie on Nov 18, 2019
My older dog has been diagnosed with Congestive heart failure and along with that nodules in her stomach. Finding a food she would eat was very difficult. It turned out to be cat food (one canned brand only), so I decided to offer her Primal, probably the healthiest food out there. She loves it!

New formula?
By Lilabeth on Oct 18, 2019
Wondering if something has changed with the duck formula. Duck has always been in rotation but this bag they ALL refuse. Even mixed with something else they won't eat. Expiration date is good, looks good, smells good but they refuse to eat. Don't know what is going on so it is difficult to rate and recommend. Could just be this batch but VERY strange all 4 cats won't eat.

Another hit!
By ErniesGirl on Dec 18, 2019
The boys love the duck formula. I’ve found that if I re-hydrate the nuggets with hot water my cats will gobble it down and ask for more.

Cat didn’t like it
By Leah27 on Oct 29, 2019
My cat loves the Turkey and Chicken/Salmon formulas so I thought I’d try the Duck formula. She didn’t want very much to do with it. Didn’t smell bad and texture wasn’t off so I guess she just doesn’t like the flavor

Meh... too expensive.
By MrBaubles on Sep 20, 2019
My cats do not like this food. For the price, I was surprised how little food is provided. My dogs love it, but with one dog at least 70lbs and the other above 120lbs, this is not the most affordable food. I will not rebuy it. That being said, the quality of the food is great. Just not appropriate for our fur family.

My OSH loves this
By Lragone on Aug 22, 2019
My oriental shorthair loves this brand. My others sometimes do *4 total but he loves it the most ! He would eat raw beef every day if he could but cats needs other nutrients. As you can see his eyes are bright and his coat is shiny !

Great in theory, just not for my cats :/
By 2pmohts on May 16, 2019
One of my cats, the one who will eat just about anything, would eat a decent amount of this when I tried mixing it in to their regular food to try to switch them over eventually. My picky eater, however, would not touch it. Eventually, the not-so-picky eater stopped as well the further we got through the bag. Stopped trying and have been looking for other food options. Both of my babies are Bengals, and until I can find one they will both eat, I will continue my search.

cat won't eat it
By Kitty on May 21, 2019 Top 500 Contributor
my cat refuses to eat this, even though she eats the chicken/salmon flavor of this brand. she has eaten duck from some other brands but just walks away from this one. i thought it would be worth trying, but based on my cat's lack of interest, i cannot recommend it.
