We have two cats, Molly and Peaches. Molly is 6 years of age. Molly has been vomiting for a while now. At first it was just now and then. Then out of no where it was all the time. I did some research on the internet. I googled why is my cat vomiting everyday. All of her symptoms sounded like IBS for cats. I read that if she lived in the wild she would eat only meat. She would never go hunt for oats and grains.
So I tried to feed her some other raw food that I had ordered on the internet. It did not help, nor was she interested in it. So I took her to the vet they said try Science Diet, which made it worse. For a year I tried so many different foods. Then I thought maybe there is another brand I can try. I researched raw food for cats and I found Primal. I read Primal's testimonials and then I found a pet store near me that carried it.
At first they did protest the food, so I mixed it with dry food. Then, I gradually added more Primal over time. Then one day I just fed them only the raw food and they have been eating it ever since. She is more playful and much happier. Thank you so much for this product. If it was not for you I would have run up thousands of dollars at the vet trying to figure out what was wrong with her.

I am a very strong advocate for raw pet food and particularly Primal Pet Food. My fur-kid, Thurman, was a rescue and always had something wrong, including diabetes. We got the diabetes under control but his digestive system was a continuous problem.
The vet put him on Science Diet prescription food for IBS but I found foreign substances in some of those cans and Thurman was no better, (i.e. no abatement in the throwing up, loose stool, horrific odor). The vet had exhausted his options and I was distressed with my cat's suffering.
Finally, after much research on the net, I went with Primal, particularly Chicken & Salmon for felines. WOW! No throwing up, no loose stools, no odor!!! He loves it; he's healthy, playful and has a beautiful coat and shining eyes. Thank you, thank you!!! Whenever I hear of a sick pet - dog or cat - I tell Thurman's story and urge pet owners to get their fur-kids on Primal!!!

We have (2) English Toy Spaniels - the smallest of the spaniel breed.
Cody (8#) and Laci (9#) - 2 1/2 yrs old. For the last two years, I have been prodding, pleading, fussing and fretting over their poor eating habits especially Cody. I tried everything! Most recently, I had been cooking chicken, lamb and bison and trying to add the appropriate fruits, veggies and fat - what a chore and I work from home.
Over Thanksgiving, the Primal Pet Foods rep was at our annual Pooch Party and gave us a coupon for a starter pack. I transferred them right over without any transition and what a HUGE difference.
They both go right to their bowls without any pleading on my part and Cody - my fussy one - eats first and tries to eat his sisters. I can not thank you enough for giving me two babies who absolutely LOVE your products. We buy, chicken, lamb and recently added duck. They seem to like the gamier ones.
Thanks again and I will tell my pet friends.

Just wanted to share a blog post and a video that I made of Bowdu, our Shiba Inu, waiting for me to prepare his Primal Raw dinner:
We started feeding Primal Raw this summer for the sake of dealing with his ongoing allergies and his recently diagnosed hypothyroidism (part of why he looks a bit tubby in the video -- it's NOT because we're overfeeding him! ;]). In all his six years, he's never "sang" for his supper like this!

I just want to let you know just how much I LOVE your product and the ingredients you use. I LOVE the fact that you are a smaller company that truly cares about it's products. My dog loves all of your flavors and I love what you have to offer. Thank you for letting me know that what I'm giving my dog is a hormone-free product with organic ingredients. I would drive miles for Primal and recommend it to anyone that cares about their dog!

Our 6 year old Westie, Toby has been on Primal all his life. He is a happy and healthy little dog. He has no health problems which might be indicative to the West highland Terrier breed. As a result, when we adopted Bentley our little "Chorkie" (Chihuahua/Yorkie) 2 years ago, we immediately started him on Primal raw food. He too is a very happy, healthy and active little dog. I cannot praise this food enough for its wholesome goodness and its complete and balanced nutrition keeping our little pups so healthy.
Thanks guys,

After the pet food recalls of 2007 (which caused one of my 3 cats health issues that ultimately took her life 2 years later), I searched high and low for a safe and healthy cat food that I could trust. I eventually found Evo. My 2 cats (a 14 year old male Maine Coon, and a 10 year old male stray that I took in 4 years ago) accepted the food and seemed to be doing much better on the new diet.
It was announced a few months ago that Proctor & Gamble acquired Natura Pet Products, Inc. (the makers of Evo). I once again searched for another food that I could trust for my furry children. That is when I finally gave a raw food diet some serious consideration. I researched the options and decided to give Primal a chance. They immediately took to the taste and consistency.
It has been 2 months and unfortunately my stray kitty made the journey to the Rainbow Bridge a week ago (related only to the past damage of a poor diet he was receiving on the streets), my 14.5 year YOUNG Maine Coon is thriving. I have since gotten a 6 month old Female Maine Coon kitten and she can't keep her nose out of his Primal! After a couple days of settling in, I started giving her a 1/4 brick of Primal with her kitten food and she is loving it! I figure within a week or two more, I should have her 100% on a Primal raw food diet and thriving.
Thank you so much Primal, for caring enough to make such a great quality food that matches my kitties "Primal" need for a natural diet.

All of my dogs were having one kind of issues or another on even the high end holistic dry dog foods. Our little Maltese suffered from IBD and chronic diarrhea. Our yorkie didn't want to eat at all. One of our Pomeranians suffered from bladder stones and chronic UTI's, another of our poms has liver problems and seizures, another of our poms was overweight and another had very a very thin, brittle, dull coat. We were spending a literal fortune at our vets office but nothing was working to correct any of these issues.
After discussing all these problems with the owner of Healthy Pet Products In Pittsburgh, PA she recommended I try Primal. The thought of handling raw food was disgusting to me but with so many constant health issues I was willing to try anything to help my precious dogs. I'm so glad I did!
After only 2 months our little Maltese has had no more intestinal issues and his diarrhea stopped after two days on the Primal. Our Yorkie gobbles down this food now and has never refused a meal. Our poor little guy with the UTI's has not had one since switching to Primal. Our boy with seizures had not had one seizure or hypoglycemic episode. Our little fatty is at a normal weight now and the one with the horrible coat is now in great shape.
I would not have believed that a food could make such a difference if I hadn't seen the changes with my own eyes. I don't know who I would like to thank more, Primal or the owner of Healthy Pet Products and I have to admit handling the Primal was no different than handling any other dog food and we are now going to try the Primal raw meaty bones. Thank you Primal!

I just wanted to say that my guys are loving the feline raw frozen Beef & Salmon and Chicken & Salmon Formulas. I have two baby jungle kittens nine weeks old from Africa that will get up to 35 to 45 pounds. I have been feeding them raw chicken necks and chicken hearts. BUT!!!! I just found your food and tried it. OMG. They love it... Thanks for making my life cleaner and easier.

My 10-year old cat got sick about 2 years ago and went from slightly overweight to very under weight. She lost 3/4 of her weight during this time. The doctors ran all kinds of tests and could not find out what's wrong to this day. On top of all this, she now cannot digest most commercial cat food. She's hungry all the time but whatever she eats, she vomits up soon after. I didn't really know what to do, it's a battle trying to maintain her weight and keep her healthy. I give her supplements and small amounts of chicken, but too much and it's diarrhea and vomit.
Finally, my sister who feeds her dog Primal told me about it and bought me a pack of Feline Turkey Raw Frozen formula to try. I gave it to her, bracing myself for the vomit and was so relieved that she likes the food and is digesting it just fine. I'm a convert and and keeping my fingers crossed that my cat will be back to her robust self soon. Thank you.
