My food picky lab (weird, I know) loves this food. I’ve tried blue Buffalo and victor, and he’d let it sit in his bowl all day long until I coaxed him one kibble at a time to eat his food. With firstmate high performance he goes right to his bowl as soon as I set it down and eats the whole thing. He’s got more energy and excitement, a healthy looking coat and is starting to put on some muscle. He’s also dealt with loose stool on and off his whole life, that changed the day I started feeding him this. He’s 7 months old.

My 2 Belgian malinois love this food . Each meal time they get so excited to eat. Their coat is beautiful and it’s just a great quality food . Fast shipping times as well

My four month old active border collie loves this food. I love how theres no peas, fish for their coat and the 30% protein. He has really itchy skin and the oatmeal helps with that. I switched him from acana because he would rarely finish a bowl, he licks the bowl clean with FirstMate. Love that it’s made nearby too. Wont be switching anytime soon.

This food is great our two huskies love it! The high protein for the price/servings is fair value for sure. Our dogs love it, when we were switching from their previous food they would pick out the Firstmate food and leave their old food in the bowl. Definitely will be ordering this for our dogs here on out

My Australian Cattle Dog mix has been eating this kibble mixed with the first mate wet food, for almost her entire life, shes 6 months now and has grown so strong and healthy, her coat is super soft, shes always excited to eat and will happily eat the kibble itself dry when we use it as training treats!

This formula has been great for not only my personal dogs, and many of my clients have switched to it as well. I expect a lot from our field dogs, this food helps them deliver. They go hard, recover quickly, and have great coats.

I am a foster coordinator for a greyhound adoption group with decades of experience with greyhounds. I started several dogs on this food who came in moderately to severely underweight and the gained weight quickly and their coats looked so much better. They all loved the food too! I switched my own older dogs to First Mate from another well known brand and they lost their excess weight, have shiny coats and more energy. It was an amazing transformation after just the first couple bags of food. I highly recommend FirstMate!
