Primal Turkey Formula Nuggets Grain-Free Raw Freeze-Dried Cat Food

I agree with the other reviewers regarding the odor of rancid oil that this food has. I have had this on occasion since I started feeding the turkey nuggets a few years ago. I have not noticed it with the chicken and salmon variety, but the turkey has always been a problem. What was an occasional instance of the foul odor has progressively become more regular to the point that now the rancid smell of the food has become the norm. Chewy has been great about handling the problem and making it right, but I am done with this and will be returning to Stella & Chewy where I have never encountered this issue. It's a huge drag since my cats love the turkey variety when it is as it should be.

My cat WAS insanely in love with this food. Now, she won't even go near it. To me, it smells like rancid oil, like the 'used restaurant oil' type, that many conventional pet food companies use in their pet food formulas. If that's the case, this food is too expensive to be using sub-standard ingredients like that. I love my pets too much to cheap-out on the quality of their food. I am no longer purchasing this line of pet food.

My cat used to love this food until we received this new package. She now looks at me in disappointment when I give this to her. She takes one sniff and turns up her nose and starts meowing for something else. I'm assuming the formula has changed. It also looks completely different. I don't blame her for not wanting to eat it. It now has a horrible texture and smell. I can't help but wonder why companies have a good product and then they change it and ruin it.

My cat would rather eat kibble made of sawdust than any of the expensive quality foods I try and give her, but I finally found a winner! It smells a bit and it's kind of gross to prep (what good cat food isn't), but when I put it in her bowl she absolutely lost it and it was gone in less than five minutes. She even licked the bowl clean! And that's from a cat who usually won't eat unless you shake the bowl an appropriate number of times. Honestly it's completely worth any sort of grossness to know she's eating nutritionally sound food, and especially because she loves it so much.

This food literally save my cat's life! After almost 4 years of chronic IBS and diarrhea, he is completely turned around with the dehydrated Raw accompanied by goat milk. I have began to stay away from the turkey though because it is so dry compared to the other choices and harder to hydrate. I highly recommend this product if accompanied by the goat milk.

they're pretty certain i'm trying to poison them. they stopped 2 feet from bowls, then stalked them and left. will update if they change their minds. have three little beasties, even the one who eats anything

This was a favorite of both of my cats. They used to gobble it up. Come the last shipment both of them walked away and would not touch this food. There must have been a formula change, and it seems like I am not the only person here with this experience. I will not be buying this product again.

When I first opened the package, several cats immediately appeared out from nowhere! The was the beginning of their good eating - this product is a treat for our cats.

Most of my 7 cats are pretty picky. They're junk food cats and rarely will eat high quality foods. When I received Primal Nuggets, I left the bag on the counter to try it in the morning. My cats had a different idea! In the morning, I found the bag on the floor, completely ripped and chewed open, and lots of the dry nuggets gone. They love Primal---even dry. (Should be eaten moist) I placed the remaining food in a ziplock bag and put it in a high cabinet. Next morning, the Ziplock was on the counter, ripped and chewed. Glasses knocked down in the cabinet. Now, we've put the Nuggets in a new Ziplock and placed that inside a container. The cats are still trying to open the container to Most of my 7 cats are pretty picky. They're junk food cats and rarely will eat high quality foods.

Sooooo...bottom line....even picky cats will do anything to get at this food! We're currently adding the Nuggets with water to other canned foods. Even canned food that they don't normally like, is a big hit with the cats. … more

My oldest cat Beemer has been eating the Primal Freeze-Dried Turkey since I can remember. I recently bought 4 14-oz. packs of this (not from Chewy, but from Western Farm Supply in Santa Rosa), and he refused to touch it. I opened another bag, with the same lot number, and no dice. When I returned it, the cashier said they'd had several returns of this product recently. I waited a few weeks, and bought another bag with a different expiration date and lot number, and the same thing happened. Beemer not only won't eat it, but as it used to be his favorite dry food, he is begging and complaining to me all day long. I left a message with the company, and the rep called back to tell me that he My oldest cat Beemer has been eating the Primal Freeze-Dried Turkey since I can remember.

However, I see in recent reviews of it that many others are saying the same thing. So for now, I guess we're done with Primal foods. … more
