For pregnant females increase feed intake gradually starting at beginning of gestation period. By the end of the 9 week gestation period, an increase of 25 - 50% above normal maintenance energy is usually required.
Lactating females should be given free access to food until the kittens are weaned. Energy requirements vary depending on breed and litter size.
When transitioning to our dry food from another brand, we typically recommend a 7-day transition period. Begin by introducing a small amount of FirstMate with the old food on the first day. Gradually increase the amount of the new food, decreasing the amount of the old food over the course of a week until they are eating exclusively FirstMate.
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.
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.
No, FirstMate and Kasiks do not contain GMO ingredients.
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.

I have been through SO many dry foods looking for one that my cat with food allergies can eat and they all have failed except this one!! I am SO grateful this brand is on chewy otherwise I may never have come across it. This food is a triple win; Our cat with food allergies does not get any flare ups in her ear, our mainecoon usually has digestive upset when trying new foods but not with this one, plus i had expected more poo in the cat box as a result of eating dry food - like what happens with other brands - but there has not been as much as expected. Our kids are on a wet food diet bc i could not find a dry food that didnt cause issues (throw up, constipation, ear infection, digestive upset/the runs) so many "clean" brands had flaxseed and potatos that were the cause of some of their issues.. THANK YOU for this food! I am a VERY happy customer and we now have 4 happier cats and every cat parent knows happy cat = happy life.
And my holistic vet recommended it as a healthy dry food cats love, with no ingredients that cause food sensitivities.
My cats like it, their tummies tolerate it more than other dry foods, though they had occasional runz in the litter box, not sure if it was the food (the blueberries, maybe?) or not, wonder if I gave them the food two meals in a row, normally don't do that, esp w/fruits in it like that, can't say for sure, but if that happens to your cats, cut back on the frequency of feeding it to them. They really seem to like the flavor, but I noticed the smaller of the cats was struggling the chew w/the triangular shape w/protruding edges because it's a pretty hard food and not teeny pieces..... I recommend.
Looking for a for for UTI with healthy ingredients. The pieces are very hard and cat won't eat it.
I thought of getting firstmate dry food for my older cat since they live dry treats. I was right! He quickly ate it without hesitation and wanted more! I'm looking forward to buying more food from this brand!
I love this food for my cats. My 12 year old cat has been acting like a kitten since we put her on this. My second oldest is a little more picky about it but she still eats it and I like that it's good for her. The youngest eats everything but he's happy with it too. Finding something everyone will eat is impossible so I'll take it.
Great quality food. Chewy always gives great service.
My cat never liked wet food (like, any wet food i tried them all) so it was important for me to find a good dry food option that would still have plenty of protein and good ingredients! I’m happy to say my cat really likes this food so far.
My cats have been on this food for 3 years. The aroma smells like fresh ingredients and the kibble is a perfect size. I have been using this in conjunction with an IBS prescription food. The results have been great.
My cat loves this food. Ingredients are very good and my cat seems to be doing very well on it.
