When we visited Andy Lew that day, he gave Bunny & Friends a new type of food to try.
It’s freeze-dried BARF (raw food).
Take a look at the ingredients below. I tell you, our cats definitely eat better stuff than what we feed ourselves, right?

And did the gang like it?
The verdict?
They LOVED it!
And on the next day…
They brought the whole packet down to the floor and bit through it.
Yes, “Primal” is the word.
And Timmy heard about it as well, so…
And Patio Family had it too.
Verdict: Wiped clean!
Willy had his share as well. The little guy loved it too.
I didn’t even have time to take a photo of the nugget.
Anyway, Bunny would need at least 2 nuggets while Cleo needed only half a nugget.
And it smells very palatable. I gave it neat, without adding water.
Nothing left on the third day.
And this much I can say- the packaging is not bite-proof, from cat teeth, that is.
A cat can tear the packaging, so best to transfer all into a tear-proof, bite-proof container, probably one made of stainless steel. Odour-proof might be good too, you know, to prevent the temptation of scratching and biting on the stainless steel.
It’s going to be for sale on the market, I hear. You might want to try it as a snack. But as a precautionary measure, try small amounts first, as you would when you introduce any type of new food. And more so, when this is raw. Some stomachs may not be able to adjust to raw food so readily.
Our disclaimer holds.

WOW! This is great news! I just went to the Primal web site and read more about their complete raw diets for cats, and I’m thrilled. Is Andy distributing their products? Any word on how soon we can get some, or the cost? Oh, I’m excited, all right!
Yes, he is. Not sure when but I heard the stock has arrived. Don’t know about the cost, though. I’ll see if he can put in a comment.
Hi Maneki, trying to showcase them in the coming Pet World Midvalley if we can get them out from the airport in time ( yes they are airflown by SQ!!) . Cost wise, the team is in the midst of finalizing it… It would be a high end food.
Thanks, Andy! I’m not sure whether I can drum up the courage to brave the mobs at the Pet Expo. *sigh* But please know that I’m very enthusiastic about this food. I’ve been mixing my own raw, but I’m never confident that I get the nutritional balance right, so I feed half home-mixed raw and half premium canned. In looking at the ingredient list on the Primal freeze-dried foods, I know they’re not going to be inexpensive. I’m just hoping they’re not wildly higher than the premium canned — Addiction, Natural Balance, etc. Eager to try them, anyway. 🙂
Very encouraging to learn that you are excited about the food . I shall inform you once I received the final pricing and that the stocks hit the stores, you have my word. I am personally very excited too as I wanted to feed my cats and dog as well.
Recently I bought a box of Dr. B’s Genuine Aussie Raw BARF (contain 12 packs – chilled)from Petsmore for about RM89. Unfortunately my cats dont favour the food.
However I would be keen to give this product a try since its in freeze dried form. Hopefully I can get it in the coming Pet World Midvalley event.
Hi, was this Primal brand RAW food available and selling in Malaysia? I would like to try but cannot see this product being sell in any Petshops around in Kuala Lumpur.
