Primal Dog Food

[BabyChance]

We feed Chip Stella and Chewy's because that's what the breeder started him on-
2 patties per day with kibble mixed in- and a little Trader Joe's organic chicken stock to wet it-
I'm wondering if keeping him on chicken is the best way to go- or if we should switch it up with some beef or lamb?

I have noticed that after Gizmo eats he sometimes makes this noise with his nose like it's stuffed. Not sure how else to explain it. I'll try to get a video. It doesn't happen all the time just sometimes. I thought it was because he was eating too fast so now I give him half of the portion and then 10 minutes the other half. Any thoughts?

My Chloe makes a burp sound too if she eats a lot. I think that burp is a yorkie thing lol.

I haven't tried Primal because I home cook but Primal is a very good choice for your furbaby!

I think Chicken is the least fatty for a yorkie. Some dogs don't do well on beef/lamb. Mine threw up after beef so I just feed her chicken.

I had Gizmo on Stella & Chewy, but after a few months he didn't want it anymore. He really loves Primal freeze dried. I have to split his servings in half and wait about 10 mins because he eats it so fast. I'm afraid he's gonna choke.

Lamb is one of the foods they recommend for puppies because it is mild and will not upset their tummies

I switch back and forth between Stella and Chewy and Primal . . And I give him 3-4 flavors each. He gets the grouping of primal and when the bags are finished we go to Stella and Chewy grouping. . . It works well for us

Does anyone use the Primal freeze dried food and if so do you have to give supplements with it?

Hi, Primal freeze dried is a balanced raw food so you do not need to supplement...unless you want to. Adding fresh whole foods is always great! They do have raw chubs that are not balanced & is for supplemental feeding only.

Thank you I have my 2 Yorkies on Fromm but thinking about switching and I have heard a lot of people talking about the Primal freeze dried. So I wasn’t sure if you had to add anything.

Yes, I feed Primal. In my opinion, a raw diet is best.

Thank you, I did switch both my Yorkies to Primal 2 months ago. They have been getting the freeze dried and raw frozen. They love it so much they whimper while I am getting it ready! I just this week started making some raw meals myself for them and they love that also. I will never go back to kibble after seeing the changes in their energy level, they play a lot more, their coats are shiny, and they poop a lot less and very small with no odour, lol. So much better for them.

Just ordered a Pork and found the nuggets were really hard to crumble up. Also found about 8-9 pieces of sharp bone - some as long as almost an inch. Took pictures and sent them to Primal with the info on the bag for them to trace the issue. - I always crumble them up. Had fed Chicken and Duck - this is the last time I will probably buy the Pork.
