Primal Freeze Dried Lamb
« on: March 19, 2016, 05:39:24 PM »
Today we had to go pick up a special shipment of beef for Vlad since he's run out, and Nashville Pet Products gave us a couple of Primal Freeze Dried Lamb Formula Nuggets.

Now Vlad can't have this. Dehydrated it's 38% fat, and rehydrated it's still 12% fat.

However, I was reading the page, and it says, "All Primal Freeze-Dried Formulas contain fresh ground bone for calcium supplementation." http://www.primalpetfoods.com/product/list/c/14

Does anyone know how small they grind it? Is it ground into bone meal? I'm not even sure I should feed this to Barkly. I don't want his intestines scraped by sharp points.

I somehow can't wrap my mind around bone being able to be rehydrated.  Does anyone know?

I feed Stella&Chewy's freeze dried to Jennie and Queen Eva (re-hydrated of course). It contains ground bone.  They have no problems with it.

Bone meal is not the same as ground bone. Bone meal is something you don't really want to feed unless you know the source of every ingredient. Ground bone is just that, raw bone, ground up.

If it is anything like Stella & Chewys, I would think the bone is ground VERY small.  Probably close to dust.  Rehydrate it and see what it looks like.  What do you have to lose, it was free!  :)
