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.

My dog loves this flavor

My CKCS is a big fan. As always, love the primal brand!

This is quality brand for your dog!
By Nona on Mar 23, 2020
I love PRIMAL. They make quality, truly HEALTHY dog food. A lot of other brands claim "natural" or "healthy" for your dog, but you have to read between the lines in terms of how the food is processed, where the animal is sourced, etc. I have done a lot of research and I believe primal is one of the best brands out there for cats and dogs! We rotate between the duck, turkey and lamb nuggets for our golden retriever. If I could afford it, I would put her on this food only 100% of the time because I do not think any kind of kibble (long term) is good for animals! But since I can't afford that, I feed my dog the best quality kibble I can afford and give 1-2 primal nuggets (plus fresh fruits/veggies I love PRIMAL. They make quality, truly HEALTHY dog food.

I just mash the nuggets up in a bowl, add it the kibble, add water and let it sit for a few minutes to make a slightly soupy mess. My dog has no issues with this food and she absolutely loves it If you're on the fence, and you can afford it you should definitely try it. Even giving a few as a toppers/meal is better than just feeding your dog cheap kibble! … more

Dog or Cat
By Teeavilnor on Apr 25, 2020
I ordered duck primal nuggets for my cats but received dog, the ingredients are basically the same, except for added taurine in the cat formula. But taurine is naturally in meat anyway. So I don’t think it really matters cat or dog. My cats love this I did try the rabbit flavors they didn’t like it so I mixed it with duck they gobbled it down.

Excellent food!
By HarleyATL on May 9, 2020
My puppy loves this duck dinner. Primal has good flavors. Harley’s tried them all and eaten them all without issue. Too bad there’s never quail, I’m interested in giving her that one. This is her favorite brand. We have tried others, but this brand gets gobbled up easily.

Not fresh, not happy
By PrimalNuggets on May 6, 2020
I am not happy with this product. I usually go to my local pet food store to purchase Primal Freeze Dried Nuggets but thought I would give Chewy a try. These were hard and not as fresh as the ones I buy at my local pet store. I will not buy these from here again.

Dogs love this!
By FatherOfCorgis on Oct 19, 2019
Switched to this from “regular” dog food (dry kibble with whatever we could add to make it more enticing) - and in under 30 seconds, our picky eaters have devoured it. I recommend getting some steel bowls with lids so you make a day’s worth the night before and put it in the ‘fridge for the next day. We are a few weeks into this change and can’t see switching to any other food. We’ve fed our dogs the rabbit and duck so far - and so far so great!
