Primal Freeze Dried Beef Formula is the convenient way for your dog to go raw. No messy prep needed for this premium, species-appropriate diet-- just rehydrate and go! Beef Formula for Dogs is 77% beef, organs, and bone and 23% wholesome produce and supplements to make a complete and balanced freeze-dried raw diet. The nuggets are easy to rehydrate with water or you can add even more nutrition and flavor by using your favorite dog-safe broth or goat's milk.
Freeze dried foods are a great, simple introduction to the benefits of raw food. They're also an excellent alternative for conventional frozen or homemade raw feeders in a pinch, or when traveling with or boarding your pet. Freeze dried is the most flavor-packed food available, so it's a prime choice for choosy dogs or dogs struggling to eat. You can crumble Primal nuggets to create different sized meals for small dogs, seniors, or pups with dental issues, or use it as a meal topper on wet or dry foods.

Life Stages & AAFCO Statement:
Primal Pet Foods Raw Canine Beef Freeze-Dried Formula is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages.
Feeding Guidelines:
Rehydrate food with warm water, bone broth, or raw goat milk to ensure optimum nutrient absorption. Primal recommends thoroughly incorporating one tablespoon of hydration for every nugget served, or 1/4 cup for 4 nuggets. For best results, break nuggets into pieces and mix thoroughly.
Use stainless steel bowls when feeding any raw product. Other materials, such as plastic and porcelain, are porous and can trap germs over time.
Feed adult dogs the equivalent of 2-3% of their body weight in rehydrated food per day. See the chart below for feeding guidelines. Because calories vary between Primal products, this feeding chart is based around rotating formulas and 2.5% of body weight as the optimal feeding amount. Your dog's activity, age, metabolism, and breed may affect feeding quantity.
Adult dogs should have total daily feeding portion divided into at least 2 meals. Puppies and pregnant or lactating females should have their daily feeding portion divided into 3 or 4 meals.
