Ingredient Transparency

Free-range, grass-fed Australian lamb serves as the sole meat protein, contributing 70% of total protein. Sourced without added hormones or antibiotics, Australian lamb provides a clean, traceable protein source. Oats and rice serve as the only two grain sources, providing digestible, sustained energy. Chicken fat is processed to be protein-free, delivering essential fatty acids without introducing chicken protein allergens. No corn, wheat, soy, peas, or potatoes are used. All FirstMate products are manufactured at their plant in Chilliwack, BC, Canada with complete production control.

Nutritional Positioning

Formulated to meet AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult maintenance. The protein distribution is 70% from free-range lamb and 30% from wholesome grains. The balanced protein and fat levels support lean muscle maintenance and overall vitality in adult dogs while maintaining ideal body condition.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

Standard kibble format suitable for all breed sizes. Free-range Australian lamb as the sole meat protein offers a distinct, rich flavor profile that tends to be well-accepted, particularly by dogs with sensitivities to more common proteins. The oats and rice base contributes to a digestible, uniform texture. The 5lb bag is ideal for trialing the formula, smaller adult dogs, or households rotating between protein sources.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Feed according to your dog's weight, activity level, and individual metabolism. Transition gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food to minimize digestive upset. Adjust portions as needed to maintain ideal body condition. Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding recommendations. Always provide fresh, clean water.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Store in a cool, dry place and reseal after each use to maintain freshness. Always provide fresh, clean water.
