Goose and I are so very excited to work with Primal Pet Foods, reviewing there freeze dried nuggets and treats. I am a huge advocate for raw fed dogs and I supplement my dogs diet with raw as much as I can. I really love the quality of Primal Pet Foods and all the nutritional benefits feeding raw has to offer. Before feeding, remember to properly transition your pets food slowly, allow at least one week for your dogs digestive system to properly adjust from the highly processed heat treated food (if that is what you are currently feeding). For 1-3 days slowly mix the freeze dried formulas into your pets current food. Many pets may transition to raw quickly while others may take a little more time especially if the pet has a history of digestive issues. *remember to always consult your vet if you have any serious concerns. To gauge how your pups system is accepting the new diet, your pet’s stool should be monitored. On a freeze dried diet, your pet’s stool size and volume will be greatly reduced. Stool will be come smaller, firm and will have less offensive odor. If the stool is soft and loose as a result from the transition, introduce the freeze dried food more slowly. Goose gets 16 nuggets a day, but this is his breakfast and tonight he will get 8 more (check portions on the back of the bag to find the correct portion size for your pet)
You can serve Primal Freeze Dried Nuggets as is or re-hydrate by adding water or Primal raw goat milk.

Primal Treats
We also received a bag of Primal treats from Primal Pets Foods, they sent over there freeze dried beef liver munchies! Goose is very treat motivated but he went even crazier and started salivating, so we use these treats as high value treats when learning new tricks or shaping new behaviors. I love that this treat has only one ingredient, beef liver! The little nuggets of deliciousness are crunchy and Goose finds them irresistible, the treat is a single source protein, the treats are for dogs & cats, it is a high protein snack, and is grain and gluten free, no preservatives, no added salt, and not added sugar. The Beef liver used is from antibiotic-free beef raised in the USA without added hormones.
Overall Review
My overall impression of Primal Pet Foods Freeze dried nuggets and treats, is I could tell after opening the bag of food and treats the quality was amazing. Everything looked and smelled fresh, Goose loved the food and treats. I felt good feeding him such a high quality meal and knew that he was getting all the proper nutrition. I would highly recommend Primal Freeze dried nuggets to anyone feeding raw, and who might have to be on the road or traveling and cant bring a ice chest with raw food in it. I actually used Primal Freeze dried nuggets when I went backpacking with Goose, it worked out perfect. It was light weight to carry and he got to enjoy a hardy meal out on the trail.

The Lapdogs tried the Primal Treats awhile back and really enjoyed them!
Primal Treats are Goose’s favorite 🙂
It’s always great when you can find a food or treat that your pet likes and does well on.
It’s great that you found such a high quality product for your doggie. I’ve been looking at some raw options for my kitties. He’s really cute.
I think we got some samples at last year’s BlogPaws. Magic really liked them!
These products are popular in San Francisco, the food did not do good with Layla BUT the treats she adores I personally just find them a bit pricey 🙁
The Primal Pet Food AND the treats looks like something my pups would love too! We love hearing and finding out about tasty nutritional food. While I don’t feed totally raw here, they do get raw toppers sometimes. But, this looks so easy that it looks like it could be worked into our food rotation!
Primal Pet Foods make feeding raw very simple! It takes all the guess work out of it. And freeze dried food makes it easy to take with you if your traveling and dont want to worry about a ice chest and food spoiling. I used the freeze dried duck on a backpacking trip and camping and its very easy.
We’ve tried the Primal cat food and we liked it!
I’ve heard lots of kitties love raw
This looks like a convenient way to get most of the benefits of raw feeding. (I don’t know much about raw feeding, except that I’m not at that point in my life.)
Primal makes it easy to feed raw, when you decide your at that point in life 😉
Our pups love their food - particularly the duck!! Great post and we appreciate you spreading the word about Primal!
I used the duck when Goose and I went backpacking in March it worked out so well!
This sounds like an excellent product if you are feeding raw.
its very convenient 😉
Mr. N gets Primal nuggets on vacation. He likes the rabbit and venison!
YUM Rabbit! The Nuggets are perfect for traveling!
