Feed Less, Poop Less, Spend Less… With a Quality Diet


August 11, 2021

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.
