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 dogs 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 dogs: Divide total daily feeding portion into 2 meals.
-
Puppies and pregnant or lactating females: Divide total daily feeding portion into 3-4 meals.

Sophie is our very picky Maltese and so far, three weeks now, she loves this food. Seems like one of the healthiest foods for our little ones. Chewy is fast on shipping, which is great. Thank you Chewy!

i have been trying both stella & chewy and primal, i like that primal is little cheaper and also the packaging is better. my puppy eats this one but seems more excited by the same meat from stella & chewy (maybe the smell).

I have purchased a few bags of primal duck and the last few had many sharp bones.. I called the company and they assured me some bones will come through the grinding process. . The bones got larger with my next order...Time to say goodbye to primal..

My puppy, Havanese 3 months old, is a very picky eater. Once he tasted this sample, he got so excited to get more! I mix this with regular dry food, now he gobble up the whole meal.

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!

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 dogs really like the duck formula. One of my dogs can’t have chicken, so it’s nice to find a formula with no form of chicken in it. It is very convenient and easier to prepare than frozen. I can use it as a complete food or drizzle on kibble as a topper.
