Ingredient Transparency

Free-run, cage-free chicken meal serves as the sole meat protein, contributing 84% of total protein. Potato varieties serve as the primary carbohydrate source, providing grain-free, digestible energy. Whole blueberries are included at a high rate for their natural antioxidant properties. 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 84% from cage-free chicken, 16% 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

Pea-sized small bite kibble format designed for easier consumption by small and medium breed dogs, though suitable for all breed sizes. Cage-free chicken as the sole meat protein provides consistent, reliable palatability. The potato-based carbohydrate base contributes to a digestible, consistent texture. The 5lb bag is ideal for small breed households, trialing the formula, or 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, 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.
