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.

Max loves it!
By carnie on Sep 6, 2019
It looks weird; smells good; and is my dog’s choice of food. I feed him fresh liver (2 tbs) dry Taste of the wild, a Nubz treat, & a Primal Nugget. He takes the primal nugget & buries it and then carries it around until he’s ready to eat it. He absolutely loves those. I get a tiny glass bowl & pour boiling water over it. I place a fork in it to hold it under the water for 3 minutes or until I get my breakfast (has to cool anyway). As long as this doesn’t bother his allergies, this will be his topper on dry food; it’s too expensive to feed him 8 nuggets every day. I think there’s about 48 in the bag; that means it would be $30 a week to feed him. What the heck? Not gonna happen, so he gets 2- It looks weird; smells good; and is my dog’s choice of food.

Helped with allergies and smell.
By Daisy on Oct 8, 2019
I have a Bassett Hound that has allergies and tends to smell when she eats poor grade food. Using this combined with Zignature dry food has solved these issues and she is so much healthier. She's 12 yrs old and still walks about 2-3 miles a day with us.

Great add on to dry food.
By lola on Aug 26, 2019
My bulldog loves it. She had surgery and lost 4 inches of her intestines and did not seem to be absorbing /getting the nutrients she needed. Overall she looks and acts healthier with just adding two or three nuggets to her dry food. I would love to go 100% but cost just doesn't allow because you would need more than 3lbs a week. 3lbs is the largest bag. Great additive though !! I have never seen her sit all day waiting for food like she does now.

Great product
By thornezoo on Sep 11, 2019 Top 500 Contributor
This is a wonderful product to use crumbled on top of dry kibble as a raw topper, or as a treat stuck inside a toy. Of course, it can be used alone as dog food but personally I find it a bit pricey for that. My dogs are diggin' this as their treats and toppers.

Great 4 Allergies
By SueH on Sep 23, 2019
Vet recommended no beef, chicken or grains for our dog, so this is great as a dry food topper! Only caveat is that the chunks are large and cumbersome to break up. They don't soak up easily, BUT the dog loves it!!

Surprise He liked it
By Maximus on Sep 22, 2019
When I first opened it I saw these big dried up nuggets and I thought no way will my picky pet eat that but low and behold I broke one up and added some beef broth just a little (no salt) and he ate it right up.

Dog likes this food
By Treva on Sep 29, 2019
My dog likes this food and it is easy to prepare. It is also very convenient because it is in blocks. I cut them in half and give her one half with her moistened kibble with each meal.

A life saver!!!
By Sylvia on Sep 27, 2019
I recently lost one of my fur babies and my remaining one was not eating. I have tried numerous foods to get him back to eating and this was the one!!! Love it...

Delicious to my dog
By ML2018 on Aug 27, 2019
I bought this as an alternative to the dry food that I am not planning to buy anymore and my dog loves it! The only start missing is for the size of nuggets, I was surprised with the large size of it.

Practical great idea
By KimberD on Jun 21, 2019
I think this whole concept of having raw food accessible and easy to serve is a great idea! However, it is so expensive that I cannot afford to give this food solely to by 2 big dogs. So I thought I would supplement it in with the dry dog food. After researching I found that mixing the raw with prepared dry dog food isn’t the greatest idea. So I’m at a dilemma as to what to do. If it were more affordable I would consider switching over completely to the freeze dried raw. My dogs seem to really like it.
