OUR DOG FOOD

FirstMate Pet Foods – Committed to Quality
Since 1989, FirstMate has manufactured top quality dog, cat and fish food formulas. FirstMate is proud to own and operate its own manufacturing facility located in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Operating its own facility gives FirstMate complete product and quality control. The manufacturing facility is regularly inspected and approved by the appropriate government bodies for Canada, the United States and the European Union.

FirstMate uses 100% all natural, regionally sourced ingredients to formulate all its diets with the exception of our Australian Lamb.

First in Grain Free!
FirstMate was the first company to introduce a Grain Free formula to pet speciality in 1995! The Pacific Ocean Fish (formerly Potato & Fish) diet has since expanded into a variety of life stages. The Grain Free product line now includes the Chicken with Blueberries, Australian Lamb and Fish & Potato with Blueberries (cat) formulas.

FirstMate Grain Free - Uniquely Different
FirstMate’s Grain Free formulas are truly unique in the marketplace.  FirstMate formulates 100% nutritionally complete diets using only one protein and one carbohydrate source. This simple approach to nutrition presents an increased level of product digestibility while reducing bodily stress and the likelihood of an allergic or negative reaction.

FirstMate uses proven, traditional levels of protein and fat to ensure healthy filtration through your pet’s liver and kidneys. These levels have been market tested for over 49 years with continuously positive results.

FirstMate Grain Free formulas are ideal for maintenance feeding but additionally can be used for animals with digestive concerns, allergies or for customers that wish to rotationally feed.

Why Potato as the First Ingredient?
All FirstMate Grain Free diets provide over 70% of the protein from herring, lamb or chicken.  Potato is the only source of carbohydrates in these formulas. The carbohydrate source is grouped into one ingredient category rather than broken up into smaller groupings. Smaller groupings allow carbohydrates to be listed and yet not appear as the first ingredient.

FirstMate Classic – Corn and Wheat Free
FirstMate’s Classic formulas use Chicken, Herring and a combination of wholesome, digestible grains to complete this top quality diet line. In addition, a mix of botanicals and antioxidants has been added to help promote a healthy immune system, eyesight and memory function.
