Primal Freeze-Dried Raw Nuggets Dog Food Rabbit Recipe
Editor ingredient insight
Primal Freeze-Dried Raw Nuggets Rabbit starts with rabbit with ground bone, followed by squash, carrots, kale, and other produce, with egg, cod liver oil, and fish oil also included.
It is worth considering for adult dogs where rabbit is a useful new protein option and the dog can handle a dense freeze-dried diet.
It discloses 60.4% protein, 20.87% fat, 4,857 kcal/kg, 1.57%/1.35% calcium/phosphorus, 0.42% EPA+DHA, and 0.21% taurine.
It is not a strict rabbit-only formula because it includes egg and fish oils, and choose another recipe for kidney, urinary mineral, or low-fat diet concerns.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG
What to consider before feeding
Rabbit (with ground bone) supply animal protein at the start of the ingredient list. The disclosed leading ingredients offer a candidate when prioritizing animal protein sources. Their order alone does not establish meat percentage or digestibility.
Across the registered ingredients, multiple protein sources appear, including rabbit, egg. If a protein must be excluded, any of these sources can change the decision; the first ingredient alone does not make this a single-protein diet.
What works well in this food
- The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat.
- Crude protein is on the higher side.
- Top ingredients do not show a prominent FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile.
Check before feeding
- Phosphorus is 1.4% on the label, at or above 1%. Senior dogs or dogs with kidney concerns should have phosphorus restriction reviewed with a veterinarian before using it as a staple food.
- Label protein is 60.4% and fat is 20.87% (as fed). This caution uses absolute amounts, separate from rankings within the same manufacturing method. For a dog with fat-sensitive digestion, discuss these amounts before switching.
- The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat, but the rest of the top ingredients do not maintain the same animal-first pattern.
When this food fits your dog
Among foods made the same way, protein is higher, fat is lower, and calorie density is typical. This combination is worth comparing when protein matters but a higher-calorie food is not the aim. High protein alone does not make it an active-dog-only food; judge weight changes against total daily calories. Comparable, but ingredient quality needs caution.
Consider it first when
- Public-data-first comparison
- Baseline shortlist building
- Conservative first-pass screening
Choose another food first when
- You want a stronger ingredient-quality story first
- You need dog-specific fit instead of public-review screening
This is still a food-first read, so your own dog can reshuffle the final order later.
