Feeding Instructions

Use stainless steel bowls when feeding any product. Other materials, such as plastic and porcelain, are porous and can trap germs over time.

    Great food for cats!

    My cat loves this. I have been feeding it to her for the past 8 or so years. She will be 10 yo soon. She still plays like a kitten and is LEAN- no belly. I am so happy this is available for cats!

    Way too hard for the cats to eat, doesn't crumble.

    Almost impossible to prepare. Directions say to 'crumble' the food. Can't be done. Added water to the product and even after 12 hours the food is super hard. Even after using a knife, the smaller bits are still dense and hard. Our cats love the fabulous frozen version, but they won't eat this, i guess due to the inedible consistency? I ordered this because the local store has been out of the frozen version for over 4 weeks. Our cats are miserable so i ordered this freeze-dried version. Expensive too for something inedible.

    Any ideas on what to do? We are all very sad here!

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. While our recipe approach and ingredients are the same, in 2025 we introduced a new step in our process to support food safety. This new step wasn't expected to change the product, but we've found it may have contributed to texture or color variation. We've already adjusted some processing parameters and added extra quality checks, and we're already seeing improved consistency in recent production.

    Elvis wouldn't touch this food. Hard to prepare

    My cat Elvis will eat anything, all day long if I let him! I received my order and was surprised to find the food was in chunks about 2 1/2long. When they say to “crumblethem into the bowl…you have to cut them with a sharp knife into little bits and it's time consuming and not an easy consistency to cut. Put warm water on them and kept stirring for 10 minutes until soft. Elvis has never refused any food ever. He wouldn't touch this.

    Hi Barb0406,

    Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're sorry to hear that sweet Elvis didn't enjoy the Freeze-Dried Beef & Salmon Nuggets. Last year, we updated a step in our safety process to further protect pets and uphold the highest standards of safety and quality. While we ran initial tests to ensure the nutritional value remained intact, we did not anticipate a change in texture. Our teams are working diligently to return the product to an easily breakable texture and we're happy to share that we're seeing improvements in recent production runs. If you'd like to share more about your experience with our team, please reach out to support@primalpetfoods.com. We're always happy to assist!,Primal Pet Foods
