Our new Papillon show puppy was raised by the breeder in Japan on home-cooked food and since both my husband and I work full-time, that would be difficult to do. So we tried every brand of premium, organic kibble, air dried meat, freeze-dried raw diet... he wants none of it. We added some cooked chicken to his kibble and while he ate that, the combo gave him the runs and I can tell he didn't really want to eat it.

We were at our wits end when my friend told us about Primal. I thought it was a great idea (we are fans of raw foods ourselves and swear by our green smoothies), but I was skeptical. We went to Urban Pet in West Hollywood and told them our problem, the owner generously gave us a free Primal starter pack to try. I started with duck and puppy literally inhaled the nugget!! He loved it and was ready for more. So far, he's tried duck, beef and lamb and love them all. He's also digesting it great, his poop is nice and well-formed. Thank you!

I used to make Lua's (my pug) raw food from scratch at home. The reason I did this is because I thought the pre-made raw market was lacking. I want a lot of variety in her diet and every product I came across didn't have it. They changed proteins but not ratios or anything else in the food. That is until I found Primal Formulas!

Not only do you change the ratio of meat to vegetables in your mixes but also ingredients from formula to formula. The quality of ingredients is unmatched — no long list of synthetic vitamins and this is a very easy and convenient product! I can finally feel comfortable rotating on a pre-made product. Thanks for a great product!

THANK YOU for providing a healthy food for beloved pets! I have always been very particular about what my dogs eat and have cooked much of their food. I really began researching diets after one of my boys has battled mast cell tumors. He has had 4 surgeries. With a combination of Primal, Luteolin and a lot of prayers we will be celebrating one year mast cell free next month. It's truly amazing after what we have been through! This is William and he has a lot to smile about!

My two year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Daxter, has been on pretty much every kibble imaginable. I was always a bit hesitant about feeding him raw food, because of the cost, but when I hit a dead end in finding a food to help give him relief from his allergies, I decided as a last resort to try Primal.

I SHOULD HAVE SWITCHED TO PRIMAL YEARS AGO!!!! What a difference! His coat and skin are immaculate and his itching has been greatly reduced! I've even decided to switch my three year old Husky Mix to Primal as well! Their favorite formula is the Pheasant, but I'm excited to have them try the new Rabbit formula once my local pet store gets it in stock! I am so excited to see the results of keeping them on this food! Thank you for making me a believer in feeding raw, and I look forward to seeing what you do in the future!

Our Shiba Inu, Taro (@_tar0_), scratched and scratched for most of the first year we had him. We had tried to be careful about his food, so we thought the problems were due to seasonal allergies. The vet had put Taro on a limited daily dose of Benadryl, which was the only thing keeping him from digging straight through his ears.

After quite a few months, it became more and more apparent that Taro's allergies might not be seasonal. A fellow Shiba Inu owner (@demondogsports) suggested trying Primal. One day later (which was a particularly bad day for Taro's scratching), we drove down to our neighborhood Primal retailer and purchased the 4 lb. bag of Turkey & Sardine nuggets.

Taro instantly loved the food. We phased it in over the next week. However, it took only 5 days for his allergies to completely clear up. No more scratchy ears and body; no more cuts from digging at his ears. And, with the Primal nuggets, knowing the exact amount to feed him has helped us to help Taro to shed the extra pound we wanted him to lose!

Taro is a happier and healthier dog because we switched to Primal. Thank you!

Hana is in the beginning stages of Cushings disease. She is 12 yrs old. After my vet educated me on Cushings Disease, I made the decision to not treat her with pharmaceuticals. After 30 days on Primal Frozen Raw her urine tests have shown improvement! She no longer has excessive thirst, panting, or a dry coat. While Cushings disease can not be cured, it is obvious that Hana, along with my other two dogs, feels better and is happier. As a Registered Nurse I am well educated in nutrition. I feel 100% safe and confident feeding my dogs Primal frozen raw.

Dear Life Savers,
In September of 2009 my Wheaten Terrier wasn't acting right, dragging his leg, not doing well on on our usual walk. We went to the vet, got a cortisone shot & everything was "ok" until March of 2010 when I woke up to a screaming dog, went to the vet again. Ran a gamete of tests, valley fever etc. Diagnosis: we just have to wait until he dies or end his life.

THEN A FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT PRIMAL, Its like I have a puppy again!! No one that sees him believes he was sick, his breath is better, he's got a spring in his step, he doesn't chew on his paws, his eyes don't run, he's a happy boy!! And you should see the bossiness when I get the tupperware out of the fridge! He gurgles and growls and bosses until I put his bowl down.

Thank you for saving Murphy's life and making it better in the process!!

Gratefully, Amy in AZ.

Teila is a 14 year old German Short-Haired Pointer and she's still going strong! Several years ago she went on a camping trip to Baja with me and her liver became infected and her liver enzymes went through the roof.

Teila was always very sensitive already and someone suggested I start feeding her Primal since I spent hours cooking for her every week. Not only is her liver function perfect, her coat has never been softer or more shiny - ever! Right now she is on the Venison formula and loving it. People always comment how good she looks and some people sometimes mistake her for a puppy!

I always tell people that I feed Teila Primal since I really believe it has changed the quality of her life. Thanks Primal! We Love You and are so grateful that we found you!!!

My 3 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Flora has been a Primal girl her whole life. She is the picture of health, with a perfect weight, tons of energy, and an athletic physique. Her favorite activities are beach running, ball chasing, and treat eating (Primal Chicken Nibs, of course!). She loves to play with her friends, Shady & Crush, both are Cattle Dogs pictured here. They are also Primal girls. We are very thankful for your products!

I have an 11 year-old Abyssinian who has suffered from food allergies, and in the last couple of years from Irritable Bowel Disease. The last 6 months has brought us two courses of Reglan and an ultrasound to rule out cancer. Our Abby has been eating a special prescription diet of particularized food. Still, he had severe diarrhea and was vomiting 3-4 times a day, some times immediately after eating. As a result I could feel his weight was diminishing and his health was failing.

Fed up with steroids, I researched IBD online and discovered that many people have had success feeding their cats a raw diet. A little grossed out, but intrigued I went to Aptos Feed where I picked up a trial package. It took several days of transition and a small hunger strike by Abby, but he has transitioned over very well.

He has only vomited twice in a month, his stools are normal again, he is gaining weight, and he is literally racing around the house like a new cat. Thank you for your great product. I truly believe Primal has helped extend the life of our beloved Abby.
