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

Our dogs will eat this because I hydrate it with homemade beef bone broth. However, I literally use a rubber mallet to smash it and then crumble it with my hands. This pork formula has a low protein to fat ratio (52 to 24) which makes it very dry. I've only tried venison once and had to use a metal hammer. That protein to fat ratio is also very high (54 to 21). That was a little too labor intensive for me. The duck is incredibly easy to powder by hand. It is important to make sure you dog has plenty of fluids after eating it dry. It really is meant to be hydrated. The "nuggets" are 1.2" wide, 1.75" long and 1" thick. My regular nuggets of a different brand are .6" squares and every flavor is Our dogs will eat this because I hydrate it with homemade beef bone broth.

I love primal. Our dogs have been on this for some time now as it was the best formula for allergies. Our dogs don't itch anymore nor do they have other issues. Freeze dried means it's portable/travelable.

I had tried many different dog foods trying to get my coton to eat with little results. A friend told me about Primal freeze dried and he loves it. No problems wlith eating. When we got our 2nd coton we started him on it when he was 4 months old and he is a good eater as well and will lick both bowls clean. Their stools are also good and firm.

My pupper loves this as much as he loves the Primal frozen patties (I mix it with goat milk, as recommended on the package). I love it for the nutrition it provides my pup, the convenience that it doesn't take up any space in my freezer like the frozen patties, and I can take it along if traveling. Also love the convenience of the Autoship from Chewy.

What more needs to be said? Fur is soft, less shedding, lots of energy for a small indoor Chihuahua

My two terrier mixes have been on raw/dehydrated/freeze dry for a while. Alot of brands have too many vegetables. My Chewy has sensitive skin and the food intolerance test i did on him showed that carrots are a big no! This is the only food that has no carrots! They've only been on this food for about a month, but the scratching is getting better every day!

So we recently went through a rough patch with all three of my dogs when they decided they wouldn’t eat my home cooked food anymore. Not sure why as nothing had changed food wise or prep wise but I was suddenly left with trying to find something they all would eat. SO I tried Primal being that it’s made here in the US, the list of ingredients are extremely easy to read and just all in all great quality. They weren’t sure what to think of it to start but all three of my girls love this stuff. My chihuahua jumps on my at each meal waiting for me to feed her! Will definitely continue to purchase this product and others from this company.

Both of my dogs love the pork formula. Seems to absorb water quicker than the turkey

I have an older, toothless, and over-the-top finicky dog that I cannot get to eat anything other than fresh ham chunks (cut up teeny tiny). He will go days without eating until I will feed him ham chunks. We are constantly trying something new and he will only nibble at it just barley enough to keep off starvation. I bought this because 1) It was "Pork" and 2) I liked the idea that it was freeze dried and could be re-hydrated to the consistency that would work for him - - - and he LOVES IT. When it is time to eat, he comes running with excitement and gobbles the whole bowl up. I don't even have to hide it in a bunch of ham chunks.

I started out with the amount stated on the package for his weight and to just maintain his current weight. (Keep in mind he is way underweight). I have added an additional cube for each meal every couple days to work him up to what feels right for him. It is easy to prepare. I crumble the cubes and add warm water and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes and its good to go. He gobbles it up. … more

this was recommended to me by a friend I trust and was not disappointed.
