Ingredient Transparency

The formula centers on wild-caught Pacific Ocean fish from the herring family as the sole protein source, paired with potato as the single carbohydrate. No artificial additives are used.

All FirstMate products are manufactured at their own facility in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada, with full production control from start to finish.

Nutritional Positioning

This reduced-calorie formula is designed to support lean muscle maintenance while helping dogs achieve or maintain a healthy body weight. Glucosamine is included to provide targeted joint support, which is especially relevant for senior dogs or those with reduced mobility. The formula is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids derived from the fish protein source. This product is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult maintenance.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The kibble is sized for ideal bite-size consumption, making it accessible for dogs of all breeds and sizes. The fish-based formula tends to be highly palatable, even for selective eaters. Dogs transitioning from other proteins may find the novel fish source appealing. Texture is firm and consistent, typical of a quality dry dog food.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Feed as a complete daily meal, adjusting portions based on your dog's weight, activity level, and weight management goals. Reduced-calorie formulas require careful portioning to achieve results - monitor body condition regularly and adjust as needed. Transition gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food. Consult your veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations, especially for structured weight management programs.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Store in a cool, dry place. Seal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside meals. Supervise your dog during initial feeding when introducing a new formula.
