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.

Unhappy Customer
By Shorty on Mar 11, 2019
I purchased this dog food because I found out that it was better for me to feed my dogs raw food instead of dry kibble. This bag only lasted me like 10 days! I’m on a fixed budget and this dog food was really expensive and barely had any in it. Is there another Raw Dog food that will last a month or more because I only get paid once a month and its really expensive for me to buy more than one bag.

This product save my cat's life!
By Critterlover on Feb 18, 2019
My cat suffered with chronic IBS, was overweight and lethargic eating high-end dry and wet food. After 4 years of trying everything including holistic & allopathic vet, changing diets, probiotic Etc, the dehydrated raw with goat milk completely cured my cat within a few months. He looks and acts 5 years younger, increased energy, playful , perfect weight and excited about his food. It is closer to how he would be in nature and I know that's why he's doing so well. Caution make sure you order it for cat or dog. The packages look the same except for the small figure on the front. Love this company and love their products! Great customer service!

A dog camp favorite!
By huskymom on Jan 26, 2019
I operate a dog camp and these are the best for encouraging those picky eaters! Don't be fooled by the ugly mush they become -- your pets will LOVE it!!! My personal pets get these as an added bonus to their evening meal - just one brick apiece, but it is powerpacked nutrition with big benefits. I would actually prefer if they were shipped in crumbles instead of bricks, because I don't like crumbling them myself.

Primal is the BEST!
By Griff on Jan 14, 2019
My order always comes right on time. Primal food has saved my dog's life. He is not showing signs or symptoms of Cushing's Disease, walking, going up and down stairs, sleeping all night, not having accidents in the house. Despite giving it 5 stars, the bagged food does arrive a bit beat up--more crumbs than when I get it at the store....I would say it happens in the handling and not necessarily the shipping.

2 of my dogs had tummy trouble
By 3pups on Mar 14, 2019
Two of my three dogs were out eating grass after they had this. We have had a different flavor and they did just fine. It may just be this particular combination.

HIGH QUALITY
By KatB on Jan 3, 2019
We love these & know we want to feed our dogs the best. Easy, lightweight, perfect for traveling & when on the road. We make all our food homemade typically. But this is our go-to food whenever homemade real diet is not possible. And never upsets our dogs tummies either. Good stuff! & easy when you simply add water. The dogs love it

The Nuggets Shrank
By Cecilia on Dec 17, 2018
I ordered both the Turkey & Sardine formula and the Beef formula. Not sure why all the nuggets from this month's shipment were much smaller (thinner) than before, and many were malformed. Last month everything was perfect!!! I'm confused as to how much to feed now. Did they change their manufacturing processes? Has anyone checked to see if the package still weigh the same? My dog likes this food, but the lack of consistency in the quality does not inspire confidence.

By Lars on Jan 13, 2019
