Introducing Kibble in the Raw for Cats!

Introducing Kibble in the Raw for Cats!

We’re thrilled to introduce Primal’s new Kibble in the Raw for Cats. This revolutionary product combines the power of raw nutrition with the scoop-and-serve convenience of kibble to nourish your cat’s primal needs. Like Kibble in the Raw for Dogs, our cat formulation features thoughtfully selected, premium, and raw ingredients to deliver optimized nutrition and digestibility that helps keep your cat in their prime. 

When introducing a new diet to your cat, we know how important it is for both you and your cat to keep the same feeding routine. Kibble in the Raw for Cats makes the transition easy. It comes in kibble-sized bites that you can scoop and serve just like you do today. No change in routine for your cat, no added hassles for you.

What Makes Kibble in the Raw Different?

Kibble in the Raw delivers the benefits of raw nutrition without disrupting your cat’s feeding routine. Our unique preparation method keeps the nutritional integrity of our ingredients intact. First, we prepare each ingredient individually, and then those ingredients are cold-pressed into bites in small batches. Each batch is then freeze-dried to preserve nutrients and flavor, unlike the high-heat processing techniques used for traditional kibble.

Visible, premium ingredients, no synthetic vitamins and minerals, easy to feed, and great tasting: That’s what we call a win-win-win-win! Plus, it's nutrient-dense and lightweight, meaning you get more nutrition out of every pound.

 

Unlock the Power of Raw

Raw nutrition is not only safe for cats, it’s also incredibly beneficial. Kibble in the Raw supports healthy coats, teeth, skin, weight, and digestion. Premium-quality raw animal proteins, like those in Kibble in the Raw, are more biologically appropriate for cats. Because cats are carnivores, their bodies are built to thrive on meat—not fillers and starches. Raw nutrition works with your pet’s digestive system the way it’s naturally built. This helps reduce digestive issues and improves nutrient absorption, supporting long-term vitality and wellness.

Benefits of Raw Nutrition for Cats

Switching your cat to Kibble in the Raw as part of a raw diet can have benefits, including:

  • Better Digestion: When your cat can easily digest their food, their body can use the nutrients more efficiently. After switching to raw nutrition, many pet parents notice their kitties have fewer symptoms of GI upset. This means a more comfortable cat—with smaller, firmer stools.

  • Healthier Coat and Skin: Raw nutrition is rich in naturally occurring fatty acids that are essential for your cat’s skin and coat health, reducing dryness and itching and resulting in softer, shinier fur. 

  • Better Weight Control: Your cat’s body thrives on a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. Following a raw nutrition routine ensures most of their calories come from a digestible, satisfying source. Feeling full and nourished can reduce overeating and support lean muscle development and a healthy metabolism.

 

Tips for Transitioning Your Cat to a Raw Diet

Many pet parents find it easier to start a kitten on raw pet food than to transition an adult cat, but a slow, steady switch makes all the difference. Here’s how to transition your cat to a raw nutrition diet with Kibble in the Raw:

Ease Them Into It

For a successful switch, take it slow and start with what they already know. If your cat is used to dry food, Kibble in the Raw’s scoopable texture offers a familiar starting point. Choose their preferred protein recipe—beef, chicken, or chicken and fish—and follow their usual routine in a calm feeding environment.

Gradually make the switch by mixing a small portion of Kibble in the Raw into your cat’s current food. Over a period of 7 to 10 days (or longer if needed for sensitive kitties), increase the amount of Kibble in the Raw at mealtimes while decreasing the old food. 

Recommended transition timeline:

  • Days 1–3: ¼ Kibble in the Raw, ¾ old food

  • Days 4–6: ½ Kibble in the Raw, ½ old food

  • Days 7–9: ¾ Kibble in the Raw, ¼ old food

  • Days 10+: Kibble in the Raw only

 

Get the Portion Just Right

Make sure you’re feeding the right amount. Use Primal’s feeding calculator or consult a vet to determine how much to feed your cat based on their age, weight, and activity level.

Encourage Picky Eaters with Add-ons

For your cat, top off their bowl with something tempting, like our Cupboard Cuts Freeze-Dried Raw Topper for cats and dogs. Or, add a splash of bone broth or raw goat milk to your cat’s food for a tasty, nutritious, and hydrating finishing touch.

Kibble in the Raw lets you serve like kibble, nourish like raw, and provide your pet with the nutrition they truly need to thrive. By incorporating it into your cat’s diet, you're making a proactive choice to prioritize their health and happiness, ensuring that they live their best life by your side (or in your lap) for years to come.
