As some of you know, I feed Riley Primal Frozen Premade Raw in the mornings and if I remember to lay it out in the fridge before I leave for work he will get it for dinner, also. Otherwise, I switched his Kibble to FROMM, which he will also Gobble Down and seems to like just as much as the Primal Raw.
The only reason I was really ever doing Kibble is so that when we travel I can travel with the kibble and he will eat. This may be at least worth trying. I really like the company.
I had a conversation on Facebook with a Primal Rep about their new Primal Freeze dried Formula which is coming out soon, if not already in stores, now. I was concerned with whether the fat % was a lot higher percentage in their freeze dried formulas like I have heard of other companies freeze dried products. They come in Nuggets just as their frozen Nuggets come, but you just need to add water.
Primal Pet Foods: Hydrating is easy. You'll add 1 tablespoon for every nugget. You'll want to mash it up a bit with a fork to mix in the water.
The calculator works the same way. You'll feed based on nuggets only, not weight. (i.e. if you feed 5 nuggets of canine chicken raw formula, you'll also feed 5 nuggets of canine chicken freeze-dried formula.) They are both the same product only the freeze-dried has the moisture removed.
Theresa Maraugha: Is the Fat Percentage in the freeze dried a higher percentage?
Primal Pet Foods: Hi Theresa, thanks for your question. The canine beef freeze-dried formula is the exact same product as our raw frozen canine beef formula with the moisture removed during the freeze-drying process. You can't directly compare guaranteed analysis of a wet food to a dry food because the moisture has been removed from the dry food (3% moisture vs. 67% moisture). If you look at the crude fat in our canine raw frozen beef formula (with 67% moisture), you'll see that the value is at 14% crude fat. All of our products list guaranteed analysis "as sent". You can read a good blog entry on our website that explains guaranteed analysis in wet and dry foods and how to compare them.
