The Meat Behind A Raw Diet - Primal Pet Foods
 |
| A half-day portion for Cole and Cory. |
The Wong Dogs are primarily on dry kibble. But what happens when their dear daddy is quarantined at home and food is running low? Well, for this particular time, he had to give in and open a bag of Primal Freeze-Dried Formula ex-colleagues pooled together for Cole’s birthday. Much to the glee of the boys who hovered around me more impatient than usual – Especially that picky eater of a Singapore Special, Cole.
But why all the fuss? After all, if it is truly the most ideal diet out there, I should be practising the ‘Only the best for my dog’ mantra, right?
The Raw Goodness Review
As I have only given Primal Freeze-Formula to the boys, I can only base my experience on this brand. Can you blame me? If I am going to sample anything on for The Wong Dogs, it better be of a certain standard! It definitely can’t hurt if Primal is given the best rating of 5 stars by pet food review site, Dog Food Advisor.

Giving them Primal takes a little more time as I need to mix the nuggets with water to activate the ingredients. After a week, I notice Cory and Cole producing lesser waste while maintaining the sheen on their coats. I also realised they were a little more alert while on the diet.
On Primal Pet Foods
With companies such as Primal Pet Food stating their theory that a “natural” diet is one which suits canines best, many desperate pet owners have lapped it all up. However, a number of vets have dismissed the idea of a raw diet though recent years have seen more veterinarians supporting the idea.

David Ong has two dogs, Donut a Miniature Schnauzer and Oreo a Chihuahua and feeds them a raw diet from Primal. One of the main reasons is trying as much as possible not to give them processed food. “They have fluffier coats (especially the Chihuahua) and their canine smell is not so strong. Also, Donut’s beard used to be very yellowish but has lightened by many tones,” he says.
Like Seriously, How Expensive Can It Be?

| "Raw doesn't cost that much, daddy. Really! Here is the calculator!" |
According to The Wong Dog’s weight, Cory the Miniature
Schnauzer at 8kg would require eight nuggets a day while Cole the Singapore
Special, weighing at a whopping 22kg will need 22 nuggets daily. The boys are
typically fed two meals and wiped clean a 14 oz. (397g) bag in a day. A simple calculation made me go, "woah..."
“B2K Pet Products air freight all Primal stock from the US,
costing us a bomb. However, for the ultimate, freshest and quality-assurance,
customers are paying for peace of mind with every bag of Primal they purchase,”
says Kenneth.
Don’t get me wrong, if I was a millionaire or maybe even own
a tiny Chihuahua, a high-quality raw diet will be most preferred. Maybe, a
little “raw-topping” as a supplement to their daily intake?
