Primal Turkey & Sardine Formula Nuggets Grain-Free Raw Freeze-Dried Dog Food

My picky puppies are now 5 months old and it’s been a struggle to find to find good quality dog food with trustworthy ingredients that they will eat. I tried several options (e.g. The Honest Kitchen, Ziwi Peak, cooked recipes from veterinary nutritionist, etc.) and was frantic because they weren’t eating enough. I decided to try Primal once I discovered that my dogs really liked their Vital Essentials freeze dried treats so I ordered several flavors of Primal and Vital Essentials freeze dried dog food. My dogs LOVE both the Primal chicken and beef but the turkey and sardines formula doesn’t appeal as much. I love the quality of the ingredients and the convenience.

I have 10 days feeding my 9 weeks old Yorkie with Primal Freeze-Dried Chicken formula. He’s doing great! Decided to add a new and different protein and he just loves Turkey & Sardines! He will eat fast and exited! If you’re feeding a puppy I suggest to make it soupy! Add more water than the bag recommendation. Picture after an amazing meal!

In an effort to introduce raw food to my 3 year old Lab Retriever, I use a couple of nuggets reconstituted and mixed into his dry kibble. He loves it. The quality of the products is excellent, no off-odor with this flavor, or the chicken which I've tried also.

The trainer we used when our dogs were puppies used this and recommended it for training. Dogs are crazy for it! We used it dry, torn into small chunks for training and now use it dry for treats. It can be re-hydrated and used as food or topping for kibble.

While traveling across the US we found it expensive and difficult to handle the frozen raw dog food. We picked up the freeze dried and gave it a try. Our French Bulldogs are doing great on the freeze dried. In fact our females GURD is gone she has not thrown up any of the freeze dried food. No more antacids for our Paytona. Just heat water 2 minutes add the bars let them soak up water, cut the bars up for small dogs and they will gobble it up.

A couple years ago I tried Primal frozen raw dog food, and it severely upset her stomach. Pretty recently I decided to try this freeze died kind to her, and it also upset her stomach. Thankfully this time it wasn’t so bad. She is used to eating freeze dried food, and has always done well on all the other brands she has tried. I’m not sure what it is about it. My cats never had any issues with Primal, except when the formula was changed. Primal is a good brand, it’s just not for my dog.

My boxers can be picky eaters. I mix Primal with their kibble and they love it! I’ve replaced canned food with freeze dried and over a period of about 2 months I’ve noticed healthier skin and coats, better poops and a lot more energy.

I really like the ingredients of Primal. Lots of meat and healthy veggies. Although I’m not the one eating it. My mini Aussie seemed to like the flavor for about a week. He is not a fan of fish, but it helps his coat. For a little over a week he ate it like it was delicious all by itself. Then he got tired of it, and refused to eat it. I was adding left over chicken and some chicken broth to get him to eat. When I ran out I went to the pet store and got some pouches of shredded meat + broth toppings. After all this we finally finished off the (5.5oz?) small bag. I would buy again but just to use it as a topper and most likely in another flavor.

My picky dog's favorite food. It's the only thing he'll consistently eat. He has bad teeth so the texture is perfect for him. I like it because it's easier to deal with than the frozen food

I use the frozen Primal nuggets now, but with this virus going around, I want to be sure that I have the freeze dried on hand if I can't get the frozen.
