Review: Good product, picky cat enjoys them but I find they are a bit on the expensive side. But money has no boundaries when it’s for your fur baby
Review: My cats love these, but they recently changed the packaging and I’m not sure if it’s just that this new bag design won’t stay sealed, if it’s a flimsier material, or if they’ve also changed the recipe but my most recent product quickly went stale. In the past it was crumbly and easy to use as a topper, now it’s a little brick. Not sure if I’ll give it another try or move to another brand.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do with the dusty, ground food meal at the bottom of the bag? There is a lot of it and I hate to waste it**
A: Actually, I run each serving (3 bricks/nuggets) through my mini-food processor in order to  break them down.  It had been messy when I tried breaking them down in the bowl with a spoon.  I take the time to process the whole bag 3 bricks at a time ahead of time.  I put each serving in a small zip-lock bag so that it's ready to put in the food bowl and add water to when I want it.  Any remaining clods of food can be crushed with my fingers while it's in the bag, making it easier to mix with the water.
I got this to feed a 20 lbs cat who had allergies that was making him lick areas bald and go into seizures, during which he peed everything.   The vets gave him steroid shots which controlled the itching for only a few weeks, and I was told the meds would lead to worse problems over time. 
 He was too fat to clean himself as well.  The nuggets help me control the portions.  My cat slowly lost 5 lbs, no longer has that itchiness or those seizures.  His fur is soft and glossy now.

**Q: 31 bucks for ONE bag?**
A: Yeah, crazy eh? But here's the deal, my youngest cat has a weird stomach. We've gone through all the tests (healthy 2 year old cat now) but after he was about 8 months old he started to have diarrhea. He's a Maine Coon mix cat (longer fur with fluffy pants) and let me say how hard it is to butt bathe my boy. We found that feeding him 1 brick of the freeze dried raw Turkey from Primal rehydrated along with a generous scoop of Instinct turkey dry makes him perfectly regular. The freeze dried raw alone was too rich for him. This is what we do for love, ouch.

**Q: What is the shelf life? I need to stock an emergency  preparedness kit.**
A: Approx. 1 to 2 years. There are expiration dates on the back!

**Q: Is this really $27.28 for less than one pound of food ?**
A: It's actually 3 pounds of food once water is added. If you look at the front of the bag, it shows that the 14 ounce bag of food makes 3 pounds of food when the correct amount of water is added during feeding.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by C***O on 17 July 2017*

takes 5 nuggets to make 1.05 ounce, not 3 1/2 as listed. 1 ounce worth of nuggets is only 161 calories worth of food, which is not enough calories for most regular sized 8-10lb cats.. therefore one 5.5oz bag only lasts not even 4 days if you only feed this to your cat.. that's 7.5-8 bags of food a month per cat needed which will cost $112.42 thru $120 per cat. unfortunately that is not feasible for most cat owners who often have 2 or more cats :( . So our cats will only be getting 1/3 of the daily servings because most do like it (as long as i sprinkle fortiflora on top, that goes for all non can foods) and i want to feed them close to raw as i can but, not go broke doing so. and yes, it would be cheaper to make our own raw food but, i don't trust the meats in our area one bit to feed them to my cats raw, hence why we are thankful foods like primal are available but, do wish they were more affordable for multi-cat homes. Due to price of only 5.5oz of this brand, we have decided to start trying out stella & chewy's freeze-dried raw before deciding whether to keep purchasing more primal or not. the S&C comes out cheaper per ounce (like 70 cents less per) when buying 12oz bags and so far their chicken salmon is liked as well but, our old cats seem to prefer primal version better.
