Primal Freeze Dried Raw Dog Food Nuggets, Pork, 5.5 oz

Two very picky eaters that we could never find a kibble they seemed crazy about. A groomer told us about the Primal freeze dried line and gave us a couple of "nuggets" to try. Both dogs really went for it. That was several months ago and it's as popular as ever. Numerous flavors. My two prefer the pork and chicken - we rotate one for breakfast and one for dinner. Not real crazy about the turkey and sardine and neither one ever really liked the beef. It is expensive but sure seems a lot healthier than any of the kibbles we have fed them. Strongly recommend trying it if you have a picky eater. Be sure to crumble the nuggets and add just enough hot water to make a paste-like consistency. Your pet needs the water added to help with digestion. Ensure plenty of drinking water is available as well. My four pounder got 2 nuggets twice a day and my 10 pounder gets 3 nuggets twice a day. Clean bowls most days.

I started buying this for my dog as a meal topper. He has inflammatory bowel disease and can't have most protein. I couldn't find any other pork flavored meal topper so decided to give these a try. I break the nuggets in half and crumble it over my dogs food and then add a little water just because they are so dry. He absolutely loves his food now. I also give him small pieces as a little treat. I originally got these just to spoil my dog but they ended up coming in extremely handy after he was diagnosed with cancer. Sometimes his appetite isn't good and he doesn't want to eat his food how I normally prepare it so I'll crush up the nugget and make almost a broth with it or add less water and make a paste. It's nice to know I can feed these to him alone when he doesn't want his food. These don't last long if being fed as a meal though because he needs so many so I just use them as a topper.

My picky cockerpoo loves these

6 months ago my 12 yr old chihuahua mix gave up eating kibble. His picky palate had been causing trouble for nearly two years. No matter what food we tried, Dodger would eventually refuse to eat food that he seemed to love just weeks before. There was no apparent medical reason. I tried everything: toppers, mixed with dog gravy, part canned food. After too many hunger strikes, I gave in and started making my own dog food every week…until I got sick and couldn’t make his food. I ordered this without realizing that it required rehydrating. That probably would have deterred me. But don’t let it! It’s super easy. It comes in these big rectangular chunks that you break apart and pour a bit of water on. There’s no horrible smell, the bag is light and portable, and he loves it. Honestly, he would totally eat it dry. He’s happy. Im happy. And more importantly, I am out of the weekly dog food making business.

My dog Balto likes these freeze dried cubes once dehydrated. He won't eat the grocery store food any longer. I had started out with a different freeze dried brand and tried these after a while because they were lightly cheaper. Balto still has days that he just doesn't want to eat, but for the most part he will eat these. The only problem I have with these is taking the time for them to prepare them. The previous brand also required planning ahead - breaking them up and re-hydrating - but with the other brand I could break them up by hand, add water and stir and within a few minutes it was ready to eat. This brand is a lot harder out of the bag. I can't break them up until they have had very hot water added and I wait 10 minutes for them to soften up enough to break them up with a fork. Even then they are still quite hard to break up. And then it's waiting for the rest of the food to re-hydrate. Since Balto likes them so much I'm willing to go through the extra effort to prepare them. It would be great if the manufacturers could do some R&D to make this product a little softer out of the bag.

Primal freeze dried nuggets, pork Arrived fresh & on time.

My dog (and cats love the cat ones) absolutely LOVE these. They are pricey- to be sure. But our animals eat them every day and I am so happy because they are actually super healthy for them. Than goodness they finally want to eat something other than tasty food that is bad for them. We use the bricks as toppers/dry food. They don't really like them moistened-- they like the texture of the freeze-dry (I think). So we offer a bowl of crumbles to the cats and each time we feed the doggie, we give him 7 or 8 bricks on top of his food. They ALL gobble this freeze-dried food up as if it is an unhealthy treat! Fantastic. Price-- yowza. But it is full of super healthy and species-specific nutrition so - I am willing to pay the $$.

I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE MY PICKY EATER WHO HAS BEEN UNDER WEIGHT HER ENTIRE LIFE, SHE'S A WOLFDOG, HUSKY GERMAN SHEPHERD GREY WOLF MIX WITH SOME MALAMUTE AND IRISH WOLFHOUND AND SHE ONLY WEIGHS 50 POUNDS. PICKY EATER WHO CAN GO TWO OR THREE DAYS JUST NOT EATING. WELL, I GOT THIS AS A TRIAL AND SHE LOVES IT!!! EVEN GAINED SOME WEIGHT ON THE ONE BAG! I WAS FEEDING HER THREE NUGGETS TWICE A DAY WITH OTHER FOOD…. SHE'S EATING THE NEW KITTENS WET FOOD, TOO, NOW. LOL I CANNOT BELIEVE THE RECOMMENDED DAILY FOR HER WEIGHT IS 20 TO 28 NUGGETS! IM ON A FIXED INCOME, SENIOR AND IF I'M CORRECT THAT'S ABOUT $30 A DAY?? I AM NOW SO UPSET THAT SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRANSFER FULLY TO THIS AS HER MEAL. SIX NUGGETS A DAY IS PROBABLY MORE MY PRICE RANGE WITH HAVING TO NOW HAVE BULLY MAX AND PRIMAL. WORTH IT BUT RETIRED AND CAN'T AFFORD IT.

My dog loves this. Great to hide meds , or use as a food topper

I'm not as find of this style freeze-dried raw I prefer open farm version. I don't like having to put my hands in and break it up.

Who can afford that? Don't get me wrong, the quality is great and my dogs were definitely impressed but…

Primal is very good pet food. I buy this for my Charlie. This food is complete and balanced. It is made with only wholesome , real food ingredients . Whenever my Charlie has friends over and I offer some Primal to his friends they all love it.

Dog loved this food but unfortunately too expensive for me to keep buying
