Why do your products appear different at times?
Our products contain natural ingredients without the addition of artificial coloring or binders. As a result, you may note variation in the appearance of our products between batches.
Chicken Fat and Chicken Allergies:
Our bodies and our pet’s bodies react differently with proteins and fats. An allergy is caused by the bodies reaction with the protein of what we’ve come in contact with. Our chicken fat is free of chicken protein and will therefore not cause a reaction for those animals with a chicken allergy.
Do you use GMO ingredients?
No, FirstMate and Kasiks do not contain GMO ingredients.
What is a meal? How does it compare to a fresh meat?
Chicken meal is a concentrated source of chicken protein in which most of the moisture and some of the fat has been removed. Meals such as these provide nearly 4 times more protein than the fresh ingredients.

no carrageenan, guar gum
By DonnaJean on May 17, 2019
I first purchased turkey lid for my IBD cat who was going thru a flair up and would not eat any other canned food. It was the turkey that got him thru his 7 days of "pickiness". I purchased the chicken when he decided he would eat some of the turkey but was not as excited about it. First of all, I have a very picky cat and combine that with his IBD it is a challenge. The Chicken arrived and it was a hit, at first. Fast forward, with adding a pet powdered bone broth (I found one with only bone broth and pumpkin)on top of the food he eats it just fine. The consistency is not super stiff as when you open the can the juice is around the food and you have to mix it up which then appears like the consistency I first purchased turkey lid for my IBD cat who was going thru a flair up and would not eat any other canned food.

It does not have long strands of chicken like some of the other brands which is what I was looking for as my cat will not eat the shredded long strands of chicken.No carrageenan, no guar gum, no powered cellulose, no peas or pea protein just potato as something has to bind the food together. A high quality cat food , only issue, I wish First Mate would come out with smaller cans.. … more

Yummy flavor
By Cleocatra on Oct 4, 2018
My kitty loves this product! I think this is the best flavor out of all the FirstMate formulas. I for sure recommend this. I am glad there is responsible people out there that do not fill up the cans with grain just for the profit.

My kitty girl won’t eat this. Don’t know why!
By Mimi on Oct 26, 2018
Saw this online recommended for diabetic cats, but my girl refused to eat it. Sad because I wanted to get her on canned cat food.

I think my cats think it's boring
By meowmeowbebop on Sep 19, 2017
I have a very picky girl and she would not eat it. She would rather starve that's how bad it is. My boy cat who eats EVERYTHING, would just eat it in bits and pieces. I would give it 1 star but because it is grain free and is free of guar gum, I would still recommend it to others because of the price point. I wish my cats liked it more.

The person we got our abys from said she fed them First Mate canned chicken and turkey. We have 6 cats, all of whom have different tastes, but none of them will eat this.
