Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

What is Primalvore Bone Broth?

Primalvore is a human-grade, pet-specific bone broth made for daily use — not a treat, and more than a flavor topper. It’s a functional nutrition product designed to support hydration, digestion, and joint mobility with just three clean ingredients: bone broth, collagen peptides, and turmeric.

What’s the difference between bone broth for dogs and bone broth for people?
  • Bone broth made for people is classically seasoned with ingredients that aren’t pet-friendly — onions and other aromatics that can be toxic or cause gastrointestinal upset in dogs and cats.
  • Primalvore is formulated from the ground up without them. It’s also fortified with a collagen peptide backed by a clinical study on mobility — not just borrowed from a human supplement.
Can’t I just buy regular broth from the grocery store?

We’d recommend against it. Broth made for human cooking often contains onion, garlic, added salt, and other seasonings that can be toxic to pets. Even if you don’t choose Primalvore, look for a broth that’s specifically formulated for pets. If you want to make your own at home, it can be done — using high-quality bones simmered for an extended period without salt, onion, garlic, or seasoning — but most pet parents prefer a ready-made option that guarantees safety and consistency from batch to batch.

Is this just flavored water?

No. Flavored toppers are designed to get a pet excited about their bowl — that’s the whole point. Primalvore is engineered to deliver nutrients your pet’s body can actually use: collagen peptides, turmeric, and real bone minerals, in a liquid form that’s easy to absorb. The palatability is a side effect of using real ingredients. The function is the point.

Why does Primalvore cost more than broth from the grocery store?

Because it isn’t grocery store broth. Human broths are formulated for human safety and taste, not a pet’s biology — they commonly include onion and garlic and aren’t built around collagen bioavailability. Primalvore is formulated specifically for the way a carnivore’s system works, using human-grade, meat-forward sourcing. The cost reflects the sourcing and the formulation, not the shelf it sits next to.

Ingredients & Safety

What are the ingredients?

Just three: slow-simmered bone broth (grass-fed beef or free-range chicken, plus filtered water), collagen peptides backed by a clinical study, and turmeric. Nothing else — no fillers, no added salt, no onion or garlic, no artificial or natural flavors.

Is bone broth safe for dogs?

Yes — when it’s unsalted, unseasoned, and made specifically for pets. Many human broths contain onions, garlic, additives, or high sodium levels that can be harmful to dogs. Primalvore is formulated pet-first, so none of that is a concern.

Can cats have bone broth, too?

Yes. Cats can benefit from bone broth as long as it’s unsalted, free from additives, and made specifically for pets — which is exactly how Primalvore is formulated. It’s also a helpful option for cats with sensitivities to common proteins.

Is collagen good for dogs and cats?

Yes. Collagen supports joint mobility, skin and coat health, and connective tissue strength. Primalvore uses a collagen peptide formulated for animal absorption and backed by a clinical study — not just added in a token amount to appear on the label.

Does bone broth help with digestion or an upset stomach?

Many pet parents use bone broth to support digestion, and it’s gentle and easy to digest thanks to the short, simple ingredient list. If your pet has ongoing digestive issues, loose stool, or vomiting, please check with your veterinarian.

Is it good for puppies and senior pets?

Yes — bone broth can be a supportive addition at every life stage. Always introduce it gradually and adjust the serving size to your pet’s weight. Primalvore is a nutritional support product, not a treatment or cure for any medical condition. If your pet is showing signs of illness, joint pain, or a health concern, please talk to your veterinarian.

Usage & Serving

How much bone broth should I serve my dog?
  • The recommended serving size is 2 tablespoons per 5 pounds of your dog’s body weight, and 2 teaspoons per 3 pounds of your cat’s body weight. See our full serving guide here.
  • Always start slow to make sure your pet tolerates it well. Too much of even a good thing can be challenging on the stomach.
How often should I serve bone broth?

Up to twice a day. Start with one full serving a day as a topper, beverage, or treat. You can serve it multiple times a day, but we don’t recommend exceeding two full servings total — smaller portions spread throughout the day work well too, especially on high-activity days.

Do I need to use it every single day?

The joint and digestive benefits are cumulative — they build over weeks, not hours. Inconsistent use interrupts that steady state, which is part of why daily use is what most customers report the best results with.

Can I pour bone broth over my pet’s dry food?

Yes — this is one of the most common ways customers use Primalvore. It increases palatability, adds functional nutrients that dry kibble doesn’t provide on its own, and is especially useful for picky eaters.

How many servings are in a pouch?

Each pouch contains 12 oz. of bone broth. Since serving size depends on your pet’s weight and how often you serve it, that can range from roughly 24 servings for a small dog down to about 4 servings for a large or XL dog.

How much sodium is in your broth?

There’s no added sodium in Primalvore. The only sodium present is what naturally occurs in animal products, at low levels — typically between 30–34 mg per 100 g of broth.

Storage & Shelf Life

Does the bone broth need to be refrigerated? How long is it good after opening?

Until opened, it can be stored on a shelf in the pantry. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 7–10 days. If you won’t use it in that window, freeze it in a freezer-safe container. Pouring it into ice cube trays makes it easy to thaw only what you need.

Results & Timeline

How quickly will I notice a difference?

Most pet parents notice an immediate difference in appetite and enthusiasm at mealtime, often on the first day. Benefits such as coat shine and increased ease of mobility tend to build cumulatively over 4 to 12 weeks with consistent daily use.

My pet had loose stool after starting — is that normal?

It can happen, especially if bone broth is introduced too quickly or in a larger amount than your pet is used to. Start with a smaller serving than recommended and increase gradually. If it continues, check in with your veterinarian.

Getting the Most Out of Primalvore

What’s the best way to build bone broth into our routine?

Pour a consistent amount over your pet’s meal at the same time each day — most pet parents stop thinking about it after the first couple of weeks. Subscribing helps keep that routine uninterrupted and takes reordering off your plate.

Is a 2-pack or a 6-pack better for us?

If you’re just getting started, the 2-pack is a good way to see how your pet responds. Once bone broth becomes part of the daily routine, the 6-pack is the more cost-effective way to stay stocked without reordering as often.
