REVIEW: Primal Freeze-Dried Formula (Cats) Turkey

FTFFDThis food is awesome…but a tad expensive. I think of it as a good food to rotate in every other day or so for one meal for Phoebe. Doing it this way, the bag will obviously last me longer than if it were the only food I was feeding. Today, she bounded… and I do mean bounded toward the bowl, she was so excited. The great thing about this freeze-dried formula, in my opinion, is that I can put a good amount of water in it, and Phoebe remains interested. I know some people say their cats will turn their nose up at it if it’s too watery. This is thankfully not a problem for me at the moment, which means I can make sure Phoebe gets a healthy dose of water in her system.

How it works: This formula requires you to basically mix up the dried nuggets with water.

What I think: It’s a super easy and quick way to do a super healthy raw(esque) diet without having to worry about thawing. According to Primal’s website, the difference between the freeze-dried and the frozen raw is just that the moisture is removed from the freeze-dried. The ingredients are essentially the same. I think it’s a good option to keep a bag handy on those nights when you’re pressed for time but still want to do something healthy for your pet. However, you pay for the convince, so keep that in mind if/when you pick this up. So far, Phoebe has loved this flavor, and I’m excited to try the others.
