Primal Pet Foods’ Post

We had such a fun time hosting Cody Stark from KMAX-TV in our #Fairfeld facility and sharing our Primal Pet Foods story on Good Day Sacramento. Over 20 years ago, our founder, Matt Koss, started making food for his own dog, Luna. He saw the difference it made in her life, so he decided to try to bring the benefits of raw nutrition to more pets... and today that includes Cody's cat, Muppet! https://lnkd.in/gYJcfmUe

Innovation backed by research! Over the last two years, our team has been taking the lead on a collaborative research project with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, led by Dr. Kelly Swanson and his research laboratory, to help further understanding of alternative formats of feeding including our new Kibble in the Raw product. In the first phase of research, we assessed the amino acid digestibility and caloric density of our canine adult chicken formulas across three formats: Kibble in the Raw, Primal Raw Frozen Nuggets, & Primal Freeze-Dried Nuggets. “This study confirmed that Kibble in the Raw performs just as well as our existing frozen raw and freeze-dried diets from a digestibility and performance standpoint,” said Dr. James Templeman, director of nutrition and formulation for Primal Pet Foods. “Our research further demonstrates that freeze-drying is a highly effective method for preserving the critical nutrients found in our raw diets and validates our ability to develop nutritionally balanced and calorically dense formulas without sacrificing quality or digestibility.” 

Our Director of Nutrition, Dr. James Templeman, connected with Peter Kenseth, host of Petworking, about the scientific research that has been conducted to better understand the anecdotal benefits of feeding our pet a less processed diet such as raw or freeze-dried. Thanks to Peter for the great discussion! #petfood #petfoodindustry #research
