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.

The Best Dog Food in my Dog's Book
By Jennifer on Jan 2, 2021
My toy poodle is picky. His digestive system is easily upset and he won't eat anything not cut up into small bits. I did not think he would go for this. It was weird looking and he never ate raw food before. With a scissors, I finely cut/shredded up a block and put a tablespoon + of water and worked it in by mashing with a fork so it was soft and moist. Prep time was about 15 seconds. I expected it to be there all day and then to just throw it away. It was gone in a minute. I couldn't believe it. He loves this and Stella and Chewy's lamb. So now I have to buy expensive dog food. Good thing he is only 9 pounds.

Sawyer the Husky
By Kaye on Jan 15, 2021
When Sawyer (age 4) started having belly issues, the Holistic Vet suggested a novel protein, preferably raw. This raw Venison is the best I have found. I mix it with bone broth for maximum health. I only wish they sold bigger bags. I have to order so frequently. To help with the cost, I use Natures Logic canned venison or rabbit. He is improving and loves meal time.

Primal Venison
By HarleyATL on Mar 2, 2021
My pup likes this brand of food. She enjoys duck, beef and pork. Chicken is meh. For the venison, she just walked away. My friend’s poodles enjoyed it though.

can’t break down to feed.
By CourtH on Jan 1, 2021
These are are awful. They don’t break down, so they cannot even be fed to my dog. Waste of money. I bought three bags (different flavors) and haven’t been able to feed them at all. Upset I spent so much on these.

Primal freeze dried venison
By Robin on Jan 8, 2021
It’s one of only things my Yorkie can eat due to severe allergies. Easy to use and store. Both my Yorkies live it! I wish they would make salmon!

Like the high protein
By CountryMade on Dec 30, 2020
Love this food for my sensitive tummy Cavalier. He loves the taste and has better digestion since adding this to his food.

My pup seemed to like it.
By samantha on Jan 7, 2021
My pup seems to like this one, but it's super hard and full and I mean full of stems and roots way way to many.

Our dog could not tolerate this food item
By QRita on Aug 29, 2020
Tried giving our dog one nugget of this venison formula and she vomited. Tried another nugget a couple of days later and she vomited. She loves the Primal chicken nuggets, and will eat the turkey/sardine nuggets with some reluctance, and does not throw up with those, but the venison nuggets were a no-go. Will have to throw them away.

Not as good as other flavors
By BusterBelle on Aug 22, 2020
Have been giving my dogs Primal Nuggets for quite a while and recently want to change up a protein on them, so I picked the Venison. The Venison Nuggets were very hard to break up compared to the Turkey & Sardine that they normally have and then looks different when re-hydrated. Will never get this flavor again! Have always given Chewy good reviews.....but not this time.
