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.

I am giving this product a 4-star because it is easy to prepare and great to take on trips and vacations. Unfortunately our Pittbull Cheyenne did not like the food. Not going to penalize the product because she is a particular eater.

We decided to try this as an alternative to wet food as an additive. We dog-sat for a friend of ours and she used as an additive. Dogs being dogs ours had to try and loved it. We may end up rotating with wet, but a great add and healthy too!

After reading the comments about this food, I had to WARN other Pet Owners!! Please Do Not feed this to your Baby without hydrating the nuggets first! Read or call the company if you'd prefer. I've used only this food for years! My Yorkies are 100% Healthy! Use a stainless steel bowl, crumble the nuggets into tiny pieces to fill bowl. Add very hot water! I use a hot/cold water machine. Allow the water to absorb into the food as you chop with a spoon the pieces that are still chunky to help absorb water. Some people allow it an hour to set. My babies eat it right away!! They Love their food warm! You can see the added veggies in it! This raw food contains everything your dog needs!

He gets this for dinner, mixed with his dry food. He gets really excited for this food! He actually licks his bowl clean afterwards. He seems to have a bit more energy with this food also! My only gripe is the size of the bag. I wish they made a bigger size!

I recently bought some of this food from chewy, but the box that carried it got smashed so my Primal nuggets got smashed too-I called chewy and they sent me more food, and then I asked them if they knew how much food is in one nugget(ie cups or ounces, etc.) so I would be able to use what was in the smashed bags to feed my two doggies. They did not know this answer, so I called Primal- They advised me that each nugget is equal to 1/4 cup. This made it so easy for me to scoop out what I needed for the doggies. I hope this helps someone else who may get a smashed bag in the future and doesn't have a clue. My dogs love this food and all the other Primal bags of food too.

We’ve been feeding Primal raw to our Frenchies for years. We mix it with water to add moisture and add kibble as a topper. Great for traveling!

I use one of these with my pups’ kibble and they gobble it up. First time I have found something they like so much and Primal comes with a five star rating.

I have been breeding and showing dogs for almost 30 years and have for the first time encountered a dog that would starve herself before eating food she didn't like. I purchased a bag of Primal, and this is the first and still only food that this picky eater not only eats, but begs for more!
