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.

Great alternative for frozen food
By Feline on Jun 7, 2021
I normally feed my dog frozen raw food but in some cases (f.e. while traveling) frozen food is not an option. That's why I wanted to try out the Freeze-Dried food which, just by adding water, turns into a savory meal. It's nice to see there are other options on the market besides beef, chicken, and lamb, so I decided to try the Turkey & Sardine flavor. Jax really loves it (and so do my cats, lol). I have stocked up on the other flavors as well and will try them out soon to see if they are equally liked by my puppy.

Product changed for the worst!!!
By Kittygirl on May 3, 2021
I totally agree with Utterly Disappointed’s review. My dog absolutely went crazy for this flavor, so I got more, and every bath I’ve bought after the first one smells like chemicals and my dog won’t touch it! I’m so sad, because I didn’t mind spending the money on this product, but I can’t buy it anymore. I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed it!

Problem Solved
By Paws on May 2, 2021
My Minpin has loved this food for years. My issue with it was how hard it was on my hands to crush it. The problem was solved nicely when I decided to try my lemon squeezer. Nothing came out of the holes, but the nuggets crushed great! I would recommend that to anyone with the same problem.

Love this product
By Dogmom on Mar 6, 2021
We have been feeding our dogs this for a couple years now. We crumple a block on top of their kibble, they love it! It is so convenient to bring anywhere if you travel with your dogs and want them on a raw food diet. Love this product!

These are amazing - wish they didn't cost so much
By TopazCockers on Feb 19, 2021
When I opened the bag even my nearly 15 year old cocker spun with joy! Then when I read the bag and realized I had to feed 9 cubes - well, this was going to be a little too costly to use as a primary food but will be great - super great - as a topper to another nutritious dry food.

Change in food quality
By UtterlyDisappointed on Dec 16, 2020
My dog loved this food. I’ve tried giving him other flavors and he won’t have any others but Turkey Sardines”. Since he’s a Frenchie and has sensitive “everything”, I’m very particular about his food and grooming routines. So when I started noticing around March-April (during covid) my dog wouldn’t enjoy his food anymore. He wouldn’t even eat. He would smell it for long periods but wouldn’t touch it. Then I started noticing the change in consistency/density of nuggets were not the same (4 yrs feeding my dog the same food). The texture and smell to the food was different. I’ve even tried reaching out to primal, only to be greeted by an automated voicemail system. I can say this product My dog loved this food.

It’s definitely not the same product. I personally feel they are cutting corners and misleading their customers. This food is not the same anymore. It’s sad to say, that we reached a time where we can’t even expect to get what we pay for. Us pet owners funnel lots of money into our loving pets, yet can’t trust the honesty & quality of high priced dog food. … more

disappointed
By cavapoojam on Jan 22, 2021
I love Primal and feeding my dog freeze dried raw, but for some reason she hates this flavor! She ate 1 piece and hasn’t touched it since. She loves the other primal food, but this flavor in particular is just a no :( this may not be for picky eaters like our Cavapoo!

My little girl loved it!
By Karla on Jan 23, 2021
My Yorkie loved this primal recipe. She’s such a picky eater but loves her primal! She starts barking with excitement as I open the bag and gets so inpatient waiting for the crumbled nuggets to rehydrate. Never going back to kibble again.
