Hi there, thanks for such a wonderful food. We get our Primal at the Pet Beastro in Madison Heights, Michigan! Jill Tack and Cheryl are just wonderful! My four dogs enjoy Primal, all of the flavors. Their coats are just divine. I am owned by three nova scotia duck tollers and one standard longhaired dachshund. Keep up the good work. It is such a nice blend of vitamins, protein and vegetables.

Thanks again,

I have written before, raving about the amazing results in my 2 furkids~ Mandy and Fiona. I must confess that recently for convenience sake I switched raw formulas (brand shall remain nameless) as a store who did not carry Primal was right next to my job.

What a mistake! Right away the itching began again. We had to endure through 2 bags until we could switch back to our beloved Primal! I did not really study the difference in ingredients until my dogs began to regress. The day I went back to my old store to stock up on Primal again there was a massive recall on the brand I was using. Eeeeek!

One thing I really appreciate about your products is that you use coconut oil instead of flax seeds and canola oil. I have long been a fan of coconut oil for many reasons. I feel certain your ingredient quality is superior and I trust your company~ I will never switch again!

Thanks for your wonderful products.

After we had our foundling 2 year old Jack Russell Terrier Abby spayed, she began gaining weight despite daily exercise. She shot up 5 full pounds to a whopping 22.5 pounds! We tried cutting back her kibble, but she only lost a tiny bit and was constantly hungry.

We decided to try a raw diet and switched Abby to Primal's Canine Lamb Formula. Within the very first week, her energy level was up, her skin allergies were gone and she began losing weight! She is now a lean and muscular 18 lb. active and happy Jack Russell. Everyone at doggy day care and the dog park were so impressed by the noticeable change in Abby, that several people are switching their dogs to Primal too.

Now we're planning on giving Primal's Feline Venison Formula to one of our cats, Mouse, who has food allergies and a weight problem. We'll be sure to post an update when we have it!

THANKS PRIMAL!

In May of 2009 we (my 2 little dogs and I) lost our new home and everything in it to invisible mold. We became increasingly ill during the year we lived there. Unsure of why we were so ill, we moved into a motel. A mold inspection found extremely high counts of mold spores. The dry dog food was stored in the kitchen, absorbing the mold spores.

My little 4 yr old female Terrier Quani, was placed on an IV for 2 days, and my 9 yr old Bichon Sherman was misdiagnosed with seizures. I had 2 near-death experiences the last 2 nights spent in the house.

Once safely in a motel, in desperation I contacted Primal Pet Foods and spoke with Matt. I told him my story. I told Matt that I wanted to do whatever it took to give both dogs the very best I could, while they healed.

Matt was outstanding! He was deeply compassionate for our suffering and loss. His patience explaining and re-explaining the benefits of the Primal raw foods to me was remarkable. His understanding of the products and how they would benefit my dogs giving them greater health than ever before - gave me the peace of mind I so deeply needed, while we awaited the next step with our lives.

We are now loyal and devoted clients of Primal Pet Foods. Sherman and Quani have been eating Primal raw foods now for 9 months. They are healthier and happier now than they have ever been. Their teeth are healthier, their coats are healthier and softer. They love the food and eat each meal in a matter of seconds. Primal Pet Foods is the only food I will ever give them. When the best can't be beaten there is no place else to go.

I would like to express my deep and sincere gratitude to Matt, Jason and the entire staff for all you have done to make our lives easier and my pups healthier. You truly are THE BEST and I love you all so much!

Lucy, my 2 year old Mastiff mix shelter dog, went in for routine blood work about 7 months ago. Her creatinine level was elevated, indicating compromised kidney function. Not good for such a young, active dog! After a couple more tests that confirmed early stage kidney issues, the vet recommended that we put Lucy on a commercial kidney kibble diet. No way!

We decided to switch to raw, but she did not at all take to the BARF diet. We decided to try Primal and she loved it. After feeding her Primal for 3-4 months, we went for her first follow up blood test - her creatinine level was within normal range! The vet asked us what we were feeding her and attributed her turn around to the food. We're definitely sticking with Primal and looking forward her next blood test! Another perk is her reduced eye gunk and even softer coat!

Thanks, Primal!

We've had a rough couple of months with our new English Bulldog pup LC. We were at our wits end as the pup had never had a good stool without psyllium powder, which she hated - and even with that, the stool was loose. A neighbor told me to try a raw food diet which we did (not Primal) and it helped, but the stool reverted back to loose after the first day. But we did not give up on raw. We tried Primal Beef Formula and the pup gobbles it up so fast. Here's the best news... the poop is consistently solid. We even switched our cat over too. Primal, we can't thank you enough.

I have an 11 year old standard poodle named Roscoe. I got him from a rescue when he was 2. For the first 2 years I had him, he was at the vet a couple of times a month. He was a picky eater. Sometimes he would go for a couple of days without eating. When he did eat, it was a small amount. He would always leave food in the bowl. I tried every dog food available and was cooking chicken to add to the food so he would eat. Nothing worked. He also had diarrhea most of the time. I was spending a fortune at the vet. The vet couldn't find anything wrong!

So, when Roscoe was 4, as a last resort, I tried Primal. He went from being the pickiest eater to the best eater. He waits for his food and licks the bowl clean. Nothing is ever wasted! Here's the most amazing thing, in the last 7 years that he's been on Primal, he has NOT had diarrhea once!!!! His coat is amazing and his energy is high. People think he's a puppy! Primal is a little more expensive than most dog food, but the money I save on vet bills more than makes up for it. THANK YOU PRIMAL!

Hi! I wanted to send a note to thank you for producing such a wonderful product. I'm very health conscious about what I eat and so I try to give my two year old Maltese (Cali) the very best as well. We had her on IAMS for the first 2 months because of the nutritional content and availability, but she never really seemed to like it; she never ate as much as she should have.

We were fortunate enough to get a sample of your product from my brother who is also feeding his dog PRIMAL. Cali IMMEDIATELY loved it -- she ate 2 nuggets from the sample package! She'd never stayed at her bowl for more than a minute at a time, so we were impressed and knew that it was time to make the switch. The very small premium we pay for this incredible (take a look at those ingredients!), wholesome food for our Cali is WELL worth it. Thanks again!

My dog, Jazz (2 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier) had issues with various dog foods and she immediately adopted to Primal as soon as I started her on it 18 months ago. She's NEVER had a problem ever since !! Even my vet was impressed with Primal Pet Foods.

Hazel, my darling chocolate Lab, was born every bit a teenager: full of spunk & sass, ate like a garbage disposal, a bit of a diva, crazy independent (to be a lap dog was way beneath her) & yet always had the big smile & wagging tail to greet everyone & this genuine sweetness that could melt any heart.

When she was 5 years old she was diagnosed with cancer of liver & spleen and was given 6 months at most. She spent the next 7 years on a "chemo cocktail" even though she was considered in full remission after 3 years.

Two weeks after her 13th birthday she went into full renal failure--her back legs would just fall out underneath her while walking, she could not make it outside to relieve herself (she was so ashamed-it broke my heart), was too scared to attempt to go up/down even two steps & her ravenous Labrador appetite vanished! Her kidney function was at 7% at her lowest point and she lost 6 lbs in as many days. I could not even think how I was going to be able to give her more meds when she was not even interested in touching the same dog food I had given her her whole life? I thought I would try raw food--it made sense to feed her what her body was designed for: natural food & meat! NOT fillers & preservatives! I can honestly attest that she DEVOURED that first meal (Primal chicken-still her fave) & everything changed for the better.

Three months later on raw: her kidney function is 18%!!! (higher than it was before renal failure!) Her other lab scores are improving as well & she is gaining a bit of weight to boot. However, being the owner of a Lab, it is pleases me most to see her ENJOYING eating again--she runs to her dish & licks it clean! I never thought I would see that day!

Thank you Primal for doing your job so well that you were able to give me my 'teenager' back... even with all the attitude, I missed her so much!
