Primal Duck Formula Nuggets Grain-Free Raw Freeze-Dried Dog Food

I purchased a different flavor and never had a problem with the bricks being powdered like many of the other reviews said. Unfortunately my last purchase of the duck flavor was approximately 70% powder rather than the bricks. I purchased this item for a trip up next month. Unfortunately instead of having bricks for "convenience" I will NOT be able to use it in the powder format all. The manufacturer should have better quality control of the products that they ship out. It's a true shame to waste so much money on something like this hoping for convenience being on the road. Now I will be purchasing something out of local feed store that I will not like as much as I do this brand AND I purchased a different flavor and never had a problem with the bricks being powdered like many of the other reviews said.

Hopefully, in the future chewy and the manufacturer can get together and fix the quality control. It really breaks my heart that I have to spend MORE money someplace else for a LESSER product. Thank you for your time in reviewing my input. I truly like chewy.com and I hope their new owners will not change the policies. As you can see many people like myself will not call the customer service department and complain because we don't want chewy to lose a sale. We all understand that when these things happen it drives cost up. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that will take advantage of chewy because of that but I think there are more people that understand business enough not to do that and keep chewy.com prices down with the convenience. I tell everybody I know about chewy.com and how customer service has treated me as a customer. I am truly touched by the sincerity of customer service and a chewy.com policies. I really appreciate having quality products delivered to my home because I am disabled and not able to jump in my car and go to the store to buy what I need for my dogs. There has been several times where I DID call customer service and they said to gave it to a local shelters because I didn't want to take advantage of chewy.com customer service being so gracious as they have in the past. Several times I have had issues and chewy asked me just to donate the item or items that did not work for me and my dogs. Because of that there were several times that I did NOT call the customer service BECAUSE I did NOT want chewy to lose a sale. … more

I love chewy.com for the speedy service and convenience of delivery to my door. But lately my products were not fresh. It even smelled stale. I don't how long they are stored but my dog has not been eating the raw food and these were her favorite. I will rethink my next order of the raw or dry foods. The can foods are okay.

Our dogs LOVE these freeze-dried nuggets. We have given them the duck and the turkey varieties so far. We used to top dress with Natural Balance 'tube' meat, but find these way more convenient. I also think the dogs like it even better.

Our 9 lb poodle mix will only eat Primal for dinner without complaint. Duck her favorite, followed by Beef and Chicken. Only drawbacks are expense and that it can’t sit out too long.

I've used several Primal Products and haven't been disappointed. I decided to try the dry freezed as a topper on my dogs food. She loves it! The cat also begs for some.

My dogs can't get enough of these it's their favorite I have two German Shepherds and a tiny aussie. They just see the bag and start jumping. Great product.

We have a very picky small dog. When we first rescued her we knew we wanted to feed high quality foods and we started with kibbles. She would eat, but just not enough. We switched to raw that came frozen, but didn't love that we had to thaw it out, plus we didn't think she was getting enough moisture from it (she's not a big water drinker). Freeze dried was recommended to us and we started with the Primal freeze dried duck. She absolutely loves it!! She's maintaining a healthy weight, looks great and her poops are small and she's not straining like she did with the other foods. Definitely recommend! Do keep in mind it's very expensive and may not be practical for big dogs.

My 2 dogs love the flavor of the Primal nuggets, and it's so helpful to have raw food in this freeze-dried form rather than packing my freezer with dog food. I can't feed my dogs 100% raw food, however. These protein-heavy foods are just too rich for my dogs' digestive systems (not only Primal -- many dog foods are extremely protein-heavy these days). So I end up mixing the nuggets with water per the package instructions, then putting the hydrated nuggets over cooked rice. So far this has been working very well. My dogs love the flavor and their digestive systems are not upset by the rich food.

My dog gobbles up this food so quickly! I have never seen him do that before. He is not particularly food motivated and will ignore his food and refuse treats. He is 80 lbs so there is no way I can afford to feed him this food exclusively, but it has proven to be a great supplement to his kibble. He loves it so much that I have been able to use it as a training tool to get him to spend sometime inside of his crate. I can't wait for him to try every flavor!

I have two rescue Cavalier Spaniels with allergies and skin issues we switched to Primal Raw Duck, and it has helped a lot. It hasn't cured them by any means, but it has been a HUGE help. We primarily use the frozen patties at home, but these are perfect for travel or sometimes for ease if we forget to get to the store in time to defrost a patty for dinner, etc. I always keep a bag in stock for those reasons. I don't love how expensive they are; I wish the freeze-dried nuggets were far cheaper than the patties given the difference in the amount needed and because they can be a pain to get the liquid into. Still, I would recommend these to anyone entering the raw food world, either wholly I have two rescue Cavalier Spaniels with allergies and skin issues we switched to Primal Raw Duck, and it has helped a lot.
