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 was having issues with my dog eating her food. I had tried several different brands and mixtures. When I tried the Primal Nuggets, she loved it and the vet says it is healthy for her. So I guess it's Primal nuggets for us at least for a while

This is the first time that I ever feed something to my dog and he eats it up right away and even licks the bowl. He has never done this to kibble or canned food. He has never refused or walked away after putting the bowl down. I'm so glad he loves it because raw food is so good for him, and Primal used organic ingredients and very little artifical supplements if any. As long as he keeps eating it, I'll keep buying it even if it's pricey. I'm starting to see the benefits of a raw diet after a month. I still give him high-quality kibble the later half of the day so he'll have texture variety.

My yorkie turns his nose up after usually only a week of every new food I offer him. I only either cook for my dogs or get them human grade organic fresh foods, so the choices aren't vast! He hates poultry, but he literally GOBBLES this stuff down, even beating the pug!!! That alone says a lot :)

I have a very independent 18 month old who decides which food she eats. She will go get the bag she wants and bring it to me. She likes the chicken, beef and pork. I like keeping it for her because of the convenience of preparation and no need to refrigerate. It is perfect for taking on trips.

Pricey, but our vizsla LOVES these primal raw nuggets. We use just one nugget each meal to coat her dry food. For whatever reason, she would not go near her food bowl when I mixed in these pork nuggets! Back to duck or beef.

The makers of Primal evidently knew what they were doing since both my dogs and those that I dog sit for beg for it. With many flavors to choose from, there's no need to switch, plus, the ingredients are all healthy.

My dogs LOVE PORK. Or so it appears. They love this and they love there Juicy Pork Lotus canned food with their NOW Fresh Red Meats kibble. I don't feed this exclusively as i have two large dogs and a bag would last not a week. I use this as a topper i rotate between it and the canned Lotus Juicy Pork. Thanks Chewy for suggesting it. ITs the best feeling when your pups clean their bowl and beg for the food well its being prepared. :)

My dogs are very picky and they just love these. I feed 1 bar for each dog at night for a bed time snack. I break it apart and add a little water poured over the bar.
