Primal Pet Foods - Primal Freeze Dried Formula
 

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. Primal Blog Understanding Guaranteed Analysis

YAY! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Same here! Sasha can't get enough of her Primal!

Riley's environmental allergies started acting up a teeny bit about a month ago..... since I have been doing the Primal Raw Morning and Night, his skin has just about completely cleared up.... It isn't as dry as it was before.... and I even ran out of his Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Pet pills that I usually put on his food. So that is just with the Primal Raw. I have been occasionally doing the FROMM... I would say he has gotten that about 3-meals out of 14, this week.

Because of that, I am thinking I will do the Primal Raw full time and just buy a bag of the New dehydrated formula for when we travel.

Yay! I am sooo Excited!! :thumbup: :D
