Questions & Answers

17 Customer Questions


How many nuggets are in the 5.5 oz and 14oz bags?

Answer by ChewyJul 27, 2018
There are typically 3-4 freeze-dried nuggets per ounce, so on average there will be: 5.5 oz bag = approximately 16-22 nuggets per bag 14 oz bag = approximately 42-56 nuggets per bag Keep in mind that they sell by package weight, not by nuggets. Due to variations in protein density and product shape, there may be differences in actual nugget count from bag to bag.

Is heating the moisented nuggets in microwave (30-40 secs) recommended ?

Answer by ChewySep 11, 2019
It is not recommended to microwave raw food and treats, as the cooking process can destroy many important nutrients.

My dog loves primal food. I’ve noticed that some flavors are harder to crumble than others. This might not seem like a big deal, but I have significant arthritis in my hands, so I’d really like to find/stick to the flavor that is easier to break apart. What would you remcommend?

Answer by ChewySep 19, 2018
Every bag you receive will be different due to the product being made with natural ingredients. Each batch will vary.

I bought the Primal Duck Formula Nuggets Grain-Free Raw Freeze-Dried Dog Food. In less than 2 weeks and vet visits for 1 of my dogs. My vet called and discussed with me what I had been feeding my dogs. (Anything new, country of origin etc...) Told him yes, and took the rest of the bag of Primal Duck Formula Nuggets Grain-Free Raw Freeze-Dried Dog Food, which he kept.... I can only tell you his warning was to be watchful of counties of origin that products are coming out of. Not just manifactured in...

Duck Formula

Feeding raw is very important. With feeding raw you are not feeding man made synthetics. Twinkie seems to like the Duck Formula
