    Can someone PLEASE explain to me why Primal Freeze Dried Lamb with Crude Protein at 39% and Fat 38% at 180 calories per oz shows on their site to feed approx 3 2/3 nuggets but lets say the Rabbit formula with Protein 53% and F 28% calories 150 per ounce and shows to feed LESS at 3 1/2 nuggets? Why would they suggest more nuggets if the fat and calories are higher. I think I’m just not understanding . Any help would be appreciated. Want to feed a lower fat recipe to my two.

    I forgot to write that I do use their feeding calculator for my dogs’ weight and activity level. I just would like to know when I change proteins that I accordingly give a little less if the formula is higher in fat or can even give a little more if it’s lower in fat and calories.My one 5 pounder gains weight easily.

    Going to call Primal today and will share . I notice a lot of us on these forums are confused about interpreting all the fat/protein/calorie analysis on labels and how it relates to their dogs needs. Wish the advisor would address this.
