Frequently asked questions

Who makes Primal Pet Foods pet food?

Primal Pet Foods is manufactured by Primal Pet Foods.

Where is Primal Pet Foods made?

Primal Pet Foods pet food is made in US.

When was Primal Pet Foods founded?

Primal Pet Foods was founded in 2001.

Is Primal Pet Foods WSAVA-aligned?

Primal Pet Foods is not on our WSAVA-aligned shortlist. That doesn't automatically mean the food is poor quality — many strong brands haven't pursued WSAVA recognition — but it means we lack independent confirmation of feeding-trial validation and on-staff veterinary nutritionist staffing.

Has Primal Pet Foods ever been recalled?

No Primal Pet Foods products match any FDA recall in our tracked feed. Two caveats worth stating plainly: our feed covers FDA recall notices from late 2025 onward, so a recall older than that would not appear here; and brand matching is deliberately conservative, so a recall naming a parent company or a co-manufacturer rather than Primal Pet Foods itself may not be linked. For a definitive answer, check the FDA's own recall database.

How does Primal Pet Foods score in our analysis?

Primal Pet Foods averages 75/100 across 41 products in our catalog. Individual product scores combine ingredient quality, AAFCO compliance, and controversial-additive severity. See the methodology page for the full algorithm.
