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.

Other Information:

Approximately 42-56 freeze dried nuggets per 14oz bag.

Safe Handling: Wash all work surfaces, utensils, hands, and food bowls with hot, soapy water after handling raw meats and poultry. Keep raw meat and poultry away from children and separate from other foods.

Storage: Freeze-dried food is shelf-stable and should be kept in a cool, dry place. Once rehydrated, keep refrigerated and feed within 5 days for optimum freshness.
