Primal Pet Foods Freeze Dried Cat Nuggets Turkey; Complete & Balanced Meal or Topper; Premium, Healthy, Grain Free, High Protein Raw Cat with Probiotics (5.5 oz)

Bought for one, The other ate it-I’ll keep looking-

This is wonderful food; our middle-aged boy took to it immediately and devours it in one sitting at feeding time. He has lost all "food insecurity" that he used to have when his (very high-quality) kibble bowl got low. This food satisfies him so much that we keep only a very little bit of kibble in his bowl now. Although he is a large, active indoor/outdoor cat who is an excellent mouser around our ranch, he is also somewhat overweight. We expect he will lose weight eating this food, as he is satisfied with so much less food than before. (We feed him one block in the morning, another in the evening, and 1/4 cup of kibble; quite a bit less than the suggested amount for weight-loss. Amazing.) He is, however, sensitive - as we are - to the tryptophan in the turkey; it makes him sleepy/lethargic just like we are after eating turkey! Luckily, we obtained a sampler pack of this company's frozen raw formulas from a local store, and he is very enthusiastic about these meals as well. We plan to feed him one of these 'non-turkey' varieties in the morning, and feed him this turkey meal in the evening, when we keep him inside. The freeze dried form is extremely convenient; breaking the block into small pieces and mashing it up with a little bit of warm water takes about 30 seconds. Can not recommend this company's products highly enough.

I'm still trying to figure out something that will appeal to my older cat that ISN'T dry food. So far this one seems okay, he will mostly eat it when I add warm water to it when he's been only 50/50 on canned food lately. The downside is it's expensive, but raw food diets for pets is as a general rule. It does smell, but it IS actual freeze dried raw meat so when you add the water you're going to be able to tell. The upside is I can make it as moist as he needs while sprinkle it on other cats' food as a treat.I don't think I'll ever switch over to 100% raw diet with any pet, but this is a good meeting halfway point, and as a supplement to their regular food.

I’ve been purchasing primal food for my cat and everything was well. My recent purchases however seem a bit interesting. I recently bought the turkey flavored nuggets for my kitty and it smells funny; when it is dry, it smells like mold and dust. Not sure if anything going on but I don’t want to feed it to my cat. The other two flavors were fine.

I have 17+ year old cat named Chewy that is a tough old guy, but has gotten pretty picky about what he'll eat. We had to wean him off of dry food for health reasons and it's become a challenge to find food that appeals to him and is healthy at the same time. I read/watched some pieces about getting cats on to a raw food diet and one of the options discussed was dehydrated raw foods. So, I decided to try this Primal freeze-dried food and it has been a huge hit with Chewy initially. I've been mixing it half-and-half with the canned food we've been giving him and he's eating REALLY well. He loves this stuff. We feed him twice a day and he has been going back to the bowl throughout the day or evening/night to finish off each meal. But since we've been mixing this reconstituted Primal Turkey with his food, he had been finishing it within 30 mins. I'll try and update this in a few weeks to make sure that things are still going well. But so far it's been great.
