Ingredient Transparency

The first five ingredients - Chicken Meal, Burbank Potato, Norkotah Potato, Chicken Fat, and Whole Blueberries - establish a clean, digestible nutritional foundation. Free-run, cage-free chicken serves as the single meat protein source. Potato varieties replace grains as the primary carbohydrate, excluding corn, wheat, soy, and peas. Whole blueberries are included at a meaningful inclusion rate for their natural antioxidant properties. 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 cage-free chicken meal supporting muscle maintenance and overall vitality. The grain-free and pea-free carbohydrate sources provide sustained energy without common allergens. Whole blueberries contribute natural antioxidants. 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 pea-sized small bite kibble is specifically designed for smaller mouths, making it easier for small and medium breed dogs to chew and consume comfortably. The chicken-based formula is typically highly palatable and well-accepted. The kibble size also makes it practical for use as a training reward or meal topper alongside other formats. Larger breed dogs can also eat this formula without issue, though the kibble size is optimized for smaller dogs.

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.
