Ingredient Transparency
The first five ingredients - Ocean Fish Meal, Burbank Potato, Norkotah Potato, Tomato Pomace, and Chicken Fat - establish a clean, digestible nutritional foundation. Wild-caught herring, anchovies, and sardines are sourced from Pacific Ocean fisheries as a single marine protein. Potato varieties replace grains as the primary carbohydrate, excluding corn, wheat, soy, and peas. Chicken fat is processed free of protein to minimize allergen exposure. No artificial additives are used in this formulation. All FirstMate products are manufactured at their own facility in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada.
Nutritional Positioning
This formula provides complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs, with concentrated animal-based protein from wild-caught fish meal supporting muscle maintenance and overall vitality. The grain-free carbohydrate sources provide sustained energy without common grain allergens. Naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids from the fish protein source contribute to skin and coat health. 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 format is consistent and easy to portion, making it practical for daily feeding and transitioning. The fish-based formula is typically well-accepted, even by selective eaters. The 1lb trial size allows owners to assess palatability and digestive tolerance before purchasing a larger bag - a practical first step when introducing a new protein or switching to a limited ingredient diet.
Feeding Guidance and Portion Use
Feed as a complete daily meal for adult dogs, adjusting portions based on weight, activity level, and individual metabolism. Transition gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food. Always provide fresh, clean water. Adjust portions as needed to maintain ideal body condition. Consult your veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations.
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.
