Directions for Use
- Crumble and Serve: Break the recommended number of nuggets into your dog’s bowl before feeding.
- Add Liquid if Needed: For a softer texture, pour in about 1 tablespoon of warm water, bone broth, or raw goat milk per nugget and let it soften before serving.
- Transition Gradually: Start with small amounts and gradually increase each day when switching your dog to a full raw meal.
- Use Stainless Steel Bowls: Serve in stainless steel bowls, since plastic and porcelain are porous and can trap germs over time.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Before Adding Liquid: Keep the freeze-dried nuggets in a cool spot until you’re ready to prepare them.
- Once Rehydrated: Put any leftovers in the refrigerator and use them within five days.
- Check with Your Veterinarian: If you’re switching your dog to a new diet, talk to your veterinarian first, particularly if your dog has a medical condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Primal Freeze-Dried Raw Nuggets Pork Formula?
Ans: It is a raw dog food made with crate-free pork raised without antibiotics, steroids, or added hormones, combined with organic produce and whole food ingredients, then freeze-dried and minimally processed to preserve nutrients, and it can be served as a full meal, topper, or mix-in.
Q2: Can I feed the nuggets dry?
Ans: Yes, the nuggets can be fed dry, but Primal recommends rehydrating them with warm water, bone broth, or raw goat milk. Rehydrating helps ensure optimum nutrient absorption, so one tablespoon of liquid per nugget is the suggested amount.
Q3: How do I prepare the nuggets for my dog?
Ans: Put the recommended number of nuggets in your dog’s bowl and break them into smaller pieces. Add about 1 tablespoon of warm water, Primal Bone Broth, or Primal Raw Goat Milk for each nugget. Stir and serve. A stainless steel bowl is a practical option because plastic and porcelain bowls can hold bacteria over time.
Q4: How much should I feed my dog?
Ans: The right amount depends on your dog's weight, age, activity level, and individual metabolism. Use Primal's online Feeding Calculator to find the proper daily amount, or follow the general guidelines listed on the product packaging.
Q5: Can I mix this with my dog's kibble?
Ans: Yes, you can mix the nuggets with your dog's kibble or other processed foods. Many pet owners use them as a topper to introduce raw nutrition, and when serving as a full meal it's best to start small and gradually increase the amount each day.
Q6: How should I store the nuggets?
Ans: Before rehydrating, store the shelf-stable nuggets in a cool, dry place. Once rehydrated, refrigerate any unused portion and feed it within five days to maintain optimum freshness, so it helps to rehydrate only what your dog will eat soon.
Q7: What is in the guaranteed analysis?
Ans: The guaranteed analysis shows at least 46% crude protein and 26% crude fat, with no more than 7% crude fiber and 8% moisture. The recipe includes whole-food ingredients such as pork, pork liver, organic produce, seeds, and kelp.
