Review: Quality food - I've been buying this for a while now mostly in store. This option seems a bit stiffer than what's available in store. It still breaks into crumbles but it makes me think this formula is slightly different from what local vendors is selling. Food is quality. There isn't any mystery ingridents. Most importantly there isn't a single gum included in this. It is a bit smelly when rehydrated. I usually cook this using very hot water or putting it into the microwave for 30 seconds. It's the herring oil that makes the rabbit smell unappealing. Scent really doesn't matter to me as I'm not the one consuming it. My cat loves it. As soon as it's out she's on it. This is also good to be used as a kibble topper. I usually put out half a nugget when being served dry. My girl will eat this before any kibble in her bowl. It also makes for a good treat between full meals or as positive reinforcement of good behavior. Price is high but all freeze dried options is expensive. It makes sense given the process used to pull all the moisture out. Because of the cost I can't make this and other freeze dried options the main part of my girl's diet. It would be entirely too expensive. The way I serve these the bag usually last about a week which is mostly dry and half a nugget as again used as a kibble topper. Overall this an excellent buy.
Review: These are a life saver... - Possibly literally. A little back story. In Feb of 2020 I adopted a feral "barn cat" from a local humane society. He was a large, orange, 6 year old Maine Coon mix that I was told the shelter had had since he was a kitten. They hadn't advertised him until before I went in for him b/c he didn't take to his foster as a kitten. I was told he hated people & wouldn't tolerate life as an indoor cat. Well, he's too pretty to go outside & hate is a strong word... more like not fond of. He's had no issue being indoors, but he still isn't big on people. About a month after I got him my boyfriend was cooking up some ground venison for our dogs. Abraham, Abe, the cat, was sitting in the middle of the kitchen watching him. My boyfriend thought he'd offer Abe some venison as a peace offering. Abe smelled it a bit & then instead of taking it out of my boyfriend's hand, he grabbed his hand & tried to run off w/ it. He let go of my boyfriend's hand, devoured the venison & more after that & a venison addict was born. This car went from eating the cheapest of cheap food at the shelter to not eating anything if he didn't have venison in a month. Luckily we have a lot of friends that hunt, so we can keep him pretty well stocked, but he does run out. He would not eat any other cat food, even venison food. If you mixed it w/ people venison he would, but don't try to feed him anything w/o venison. Last year wasn't a great year for my hunting friends & we didn't get as much as usual. Since I already tried what I'm pretty sure is every other venison cat food on the market, I was actually contemplating spending $32.00/lb to have a local grocery store special order it. Before doing that I gave 1 last ditch effort search on Google & was shown these for the 1st time. I bought a bag figuring he wouldn't like them. My boyfriend asked what they F were they as I was cutting them into bite size pieces, they look like little bread loaves. I gave Abe a few pieces & held my breath. He actually devoured them! 4 bags later & he hasn't tired of them. We now chop up the little loaves & soak them in water overnight. He'll eat them & other food either way, as long as there's some venison loaf, but my boyfriend likes to use the left over water on the dogs' food. Side note, 1 of my dogs is the pickiest pitbull ever & she also loves these. We have recommended this brand to quote a few people that have super finiky cats. They've all tried different flavors, we've only tried the venison, but they've all had the same result we have. It might be a more expensive food & I might only really be buying it for 1 cat (we have 4), but I would gladly pay more b/c my Abradude eats it & happily! I'm not sure how he was going to survive if I couldn't find something he would eat. It's worth every penny & then some!

### ⭐ Bad batches!
*by S***E on January 16, 2025*

Orange in color, hard as a rock, horrible odor and my cat won't eat them. He used to love them! So far all batches with Best Buy date in May, 2026, are bad. I have bad batches # W10167066, W10169126, and W10169128. I sent email to Primal and they will take no responsibility. Only have a couple good bags left so looking for a replacement to transition him to... UPDATE 9/26/25: Primal has admitted, a new safety step did affect texture in some freeze dried nuggets batches for a short while. They claim they adjusted the process and are starting to see improvements come through in the market. I have yet to see them in the market. I have noted that all Primal freeze-dried nuggets I tried with best buy date of May - July 2026 are hard as a rock with a foul order. Unfortunately, that's all stores have on the shelf because customers are not buying them. Hopefully, Primal will recall or stores will return all of the bad batches and get the new corrected batch to the market. Until then, I will avoid Primal at all costs and hope that Primal will implement some quality control in the future!
