Disclaimer: Product information and usage guidelines are provided by the manufacturer. Always use products as directed on the label and consult your veterinarian before use if you have any concerns regarding your pet’s health.

Directions for Use

• Crumble and Serve: Break the number of nuggets you need into your dog’s bowl.
• Add Liquid: If you want to soften the nuggets, pour in about 1 tablespoon of lukewarm water, bone broth, or raw goat milk per nugget. Let them sit briefly before feeding.
• 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 Rehydrating: Freeze-dried nuggets are shelf-stable, so keep them in a cool, dry spot until you’re ready to rehydrate.
• After Rehydrating: Once rehydrated, keep unused portions refrigerated and feed within five days to maintain optimum freshness.
• Ask Your Veterinarian: Talk with your veterinarian before changing your dog's diet, especially if your dog has a diagnosed medical condition.
• Break Up and Fully Rehydrate: Break nuggets into small pieces, rehydrate fully, and supervise your dog while eating to support safe feeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is Primal Freeze-Dried Raw Nuggets Venison Recipe?

Ans: This recipe uses grass-fed venison as its main animal protein, with no antibiotics, steroids, or added hormones. Organic fruits, vegetables, and other whole-food ingredients are included as well. The food comes in freeze-dried nuggets, so you can serve it by itself or add the nuggets to your dog’s usual food.

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 nuggets you plan to feed in your dog’s bowl and break them up. Add about 1 tablespoon of warm water, Primal Bone Broth, or Primal Raw Goat Milk per nugget. Let them soften, then serve. A stainless steel bowl works well for serving.

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 a minimum of 57% crude protein and 19% crude fat, with crude fiber at no more than 4% and moisture at no more than 8%. The recipe is made with whole-food ingredients, including venison, venison liver, organic produce, seeds, and kelp.
