Primal Cat Food Reviews


According to their website, Primal Pet Foods has been committed to elevating the health of your pets. They only the best ingredients because that's what your pets deserve.

Note that although Primal's products as packaged contain little moisture and hence are classified here are dry products, moisture is typically added before serving. Additionally, here at CatFoodDB we have not reviewed Primal's frozen product lines due to the fact these products are difficult to compare directly to the typical canned or dry varieties of pet food typically found on pet store shelves. For more information on these frozen varieties, please see the Primal website directly.

Please note that CatFoodDB may earn a small commission on purchases made via links on this site. Thank you for your support!
