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.

Best food ever!
By DogLover on Sep 26, 2020
Our puppy suffered with IBD. I found a group online that recommends Primal. Ever since she’s been on this, her IBD symptoms are under control. She absolutely loves Primal! I rehydrate the night before, and use 1/4 cup of water for 1.5 nuggets (broken up). Sometimes I use more water if she seems dehydrated. Highly recommend!

turkey and sardines
By DogMomToLando on Aug 30, 2020
My Yorkie will be 2 in a few months. He has been on Primal since he was 8 weeks old. He is completely healthy and thriving! I started him on Turkey and Sardines. We switch it up with pork, lamb and rabbit too. I highly recommend a Primal.

Dogs love it!!!
By JFBA59 on Aug 25, 2020
Switched to the raw foods and thought this would be their least favorite but they Love it!!! The smell is stronger because of the sardines. These old dogs have so improved in energy and health. I use it as a topper due to the cost.

Really good but not their favorite
By Merrylass on May 29, 2020
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.

Would not touch it
By Drea on Jul 19, 2020
I was told to try this brand of raw food. It was highly recommended for my dog with Lymphoma. He won’t eat it. I am not sure if it is because he is sick or he just does not like it so I can’t really give it a good or bad review. I wish he would eat it.

Excellent food
By Tiffany on Sep 16, 2020
Primal is the best freeze dried raw food. It's real ingredients. No synthetics and crap. My furbaby loves it and is thriving.

Simon barely licked it.
By Rescuemom on Jul 18, 2020
We had tried another brand not offered by Chewy and my Simon loved it. Thought I'd give this brand a try, I even tried putting a treat on it and he wouldn't even get his treat out. Total waste of money.

She loves it!
By Jilly on Jul 18, 2020
My dog loves this food. I love that it’s a raw diet but freeze dried to get rid of the risk of bacteria. The only negative is that it is expensive. One bag last two days for an 80 pound dog.
