Did you know that our FirstMate, KASIKS, and SKOKI diets are often more nutrient and physically dense than other pet food varieties?
Our diets average 500k/cals per cup, and each cup will weigh more than most other foods. This often means FirstMate will deliver the same satiety and calories in fewer cups of food, and that is why you will typically feed less, and your FirstMate will poop less on our formulas.
The reason starts with our ingredient selection. When formulating our dog and cat formulas, we select quality ingredients that provide a high percentage of meat protein. Next, during the extrusion or cooking process, we do so in a way that minimizes the expansion of the kibble. Our extruder was originally designed to produce fish feed, and as with all livestock, digestibility is critical. Small differences in the mechanics enable us to create a diet that is highly digestible and nutrient-dense.
Lastly, we utilize our unique vacuum infusion system to infuse essential nutrients at room temperature, ensuring continuity across each batch and that these nutrients are not denatured with heat.
Combining ingredient quality, unique cooking, and the infuse of essential nutrients makes for superior nutrition that can often improve digestibility, stool quality, and skin and coat condition.
This food has changed my dogs coat and allergies completely.he had ear and coat issues. On an scratching prescription and a allergy food from vet that really didn’t work. Completely saved my dog and me . Thanks Greg
My cat loves First Mate dry foods & Im very impressed by the quality.
My question is about the heat treatment of the kibble. Your video mentions pastueruzation at 90 celsius. How long is the product held a that temperature & is it adequate to deactivate H5N1 avian flu viruses & other pathogens? This is recently a concern since there were cat deaths from eating raw or freeze dried pet food lately (USA) & also from food where pasturization was inadequate for this hardy virus (korea) . We’ve already eliminated freeze dried treats
