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 picky dogs love Primal
By Bodie on Jan 31, 2021
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.

Opie Loves it
By Awesome on Nov 12, 2020
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.

Less Itching!!
By MiaJ on Nov 3, 2020
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!

Winning Product for my Pups
By MyFussyGirls on Aug 4, 2020
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.

Great for finicky dog
By Kaboom on Jun 13, 2020
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
