Ingredient Transparency

Grass-fed, free-range Australian lamb meal serves as the sole meat protein, contributing 78% of total protein. Sourced without added hormones or antibiotics, Australian lamb provides a clean, traceable protein source. Potato varieties serve as the primary carbohydrate source, providing grain-free, digestible energy. Chicken fat is processed to be protein-free, delivering essential fatty acids without introducing chicken protein allergens. Blueberries, cranberries, and raspberries add natural antioxidant support. No grains, gluten, corn, wheat, soy, or peas are used. The limited ingredient approach keeps the formula intentionally short and traceable. 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 78% from free-range lamb, 22% from vegetables, and 0% from grains. The concentrated animal-based protein profile supports lean muscle maintenance and overall vitality in adult dogs.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

Small bite kibble format designed for easier consumption by small and medium breed dogs, though suitable for all breed sizes. Grass-fed 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 potato-based carbohydrate base contributes to a digestible, consistent texture. The 14.5lb bag is practical for small breed households managing ongoing sensitivity diets or using lamb as a primary rotation protein.

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, particularly for dogs on elimination diets or sensitivity management programs. 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.
