My dog is sensitive to peas and potatoes and it’s very difficult to find a wet food that excludes those, has a single high-protein, and is a pate texture that he can eat with missing teeth. I’ve been feeding him the Grain Friendly line for a few years now and its literally perfect, please continue making this formula!

It does not specify what type of rice, is white rice or brown rice
This is important when feeding a diabetic dog

Hello Beverly,
Thank you for your review and your inquiry.
Our canned formulas contain a mix of brown and white rice. It’s important to note that the rice is included at a low level as a source of highly digestible carbohydrate in our canned products in place of artificial binders and thickeners, such as carrageenan, guar gum or agar. Our canned products are very low glycemic load (estimated between 1.4 and 2.3).

Our dog’s digestive system does not do well with foods that include guar gums and carrageenan, so I’m very happy our local store recommended this brand. Our dog’s tummy troubles are solved and he loves the food. Plus FirstMate seems like a great company to support.
