Primal Freeze Dried Raw Cat Food Nuggets Rabbit, Complete & Balanced Meal or Topper, Premium, Healthy, Grain Free, High Protein Raw Cat Food with Probiotics (14 oz)

My Sphinx cat LOVES this food!! Your cat deserves this high quality and nutritious food! Absolutely worth it!

I highly recommend using a BARF diet for pets whenever possible. Prime Nuggets are a great way to do that.I used to order directly from Prime back in say 2009-2011 when they used to ship direct frozen food. We've recently moved and we're having trouble obtaining the product without ordering from Amazon. We usually got the frozen (less expensive) but the small town local pet food store has a limited supply and I'm going to see if they will order the Pork and Venison in the frozen state. We prepare the freeze dried nuggets, four for each jar, breaking or cutting them up, adding water and refrigerating them for the next day feeding schedule. Don't expect a cat to tear apart a big nugget - needs to be hydrated appropriately.I've made cat food for the BARF diet from Cat Nutrition.org. I had the Tasin grinder and sourced the chicken, including the organ meats and any supplements. My cats didn't like it much but I was a novice and gave it to friends for their cats and finally gave the grinder away in 2019. I always thought premium cat food was good as we've been advised it's better than dried up kibble - and I do think that is correct but premium cat food, if too rich and not varied (fish only, chicken only...) we can, over time harm our cat's physiology. For 5 years my remaining cat would only eat cat food tuna and occasional salmon. He developed pancreatitis which required Denosyl, an anti-nausea pill, a cream on his ear to wake up his appetite and 4-5 laser treatments for his pain. After he was eating again, we switched over the raw frozen Primal foods - and surprisingly he ate it up and thrived for a year as much as a 16 year old can on Pork, Venison and Rabbit. We made a mistake recently and tried some Lamb in another brand which put him right back were he was a year prior - in a pancreas episode - because the Lamb raw food main ingredient was heart - too rich.He is on year two with Primal Raw foods only with a weekly serving of fresh boiled asparagus for the fiber and we're introducing a small amount of psyllium husk powder in his food twice per day to keep everything moving in an older cat on a raw diet and two fresh bowls of water daily. He is still on the Denosyl and and a thyroid pill.If I could advise my younger self - I would say learn more about a pet's diet and not from the billion dollar industry that could very easily shorten your pet's life. You wouldn't feed a lion dried up kibble - and a cat's physiology is the same as a lion's.

Obviously not for everyone! Crushed up 4 cubes for each of my indoor cats and mixed with warm water as directed. One cat sniffed and gave me a questionable look and walked away. the other cat get sniffing and then walked away. Left it there all day to see if they would come back later. NOPE! Decided to rewater and stir it up and put outside for the strays that come to the front porch every night. Next day they hadn't touched it. Stirred it up again and second day even the strays said no. This was a pretty expensive trial that absolutely failed even after watching videos and reading about how this was the optimal things for my cats.

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!
