Questions & Answers

27 Customer Questions


What is the maximum fat % when it’s rehydrated?

Answer by ChewyApr 20, 2019
The recipes are formulated to target the minimum fat content that is provided in the Guaranteed Analysis, any deviation from this as-fed percentage would be minimal. Please speak with your veterinarian to ensure this value is low enough to be a suitable diet for your pet.

Can you rehydrate in advance?

Answer by ChewyApr 03, 2024
Once hydrated, the freeze-dried formula will maintain optimum freshness for 3-5 days under refrigeration. Keep freeze-dried pet foods separate from other foods.

Where are the sardines from? Atlantic or Pacific?

Answer by ChewyJan 08, 2018
The manufacturer uses wild-caught fish from the United States. Typically sardines will often be sourced within the Northeast coast.

Smell sardines?

Answer by ChewyDec 31, 2020
As Primal Turkey & Sardine Formula Nuggets Grain-Free Raw Freeze-Dried Dog Food uses natural and organic ingredients, the smell can vary with each batch. There is usually a slight smell of sardines, but it also depends on the sense of smell of each person and pet.

Well Snickers (snootiest dog in the world) sniffed it and walked away. Snoopy likes it. I like that it's easy to break up for Snoopy since he's a senior and breaking it up before adding broth or water makes it easier for him to eat.

We were on turkey & sardine for my dog who is on a lower fat diet. The last 2-3 bags, the processing, ingredients, or something in the supply chain changed. We had to throw away a bag due to spoilage (I got a refund) and this last bag we opened he’s not been eating - possibly because he remembers the spoiled bag and/or the flavor is different. I noticed that the nuggets have been less crumbly and harder when I try to prep his meal.

No Longer Good

used to feed all Primal nuggets for years but over the last several months all but the Chicken variety has been as hard as a rock and impossible to crumble by hand
