I wanted a grain friendly food for my two Xolos, as I prefer to avoid legumes in their diet. But so many of the grain friendly diets have too many grains for my liking and they are often fractioned which makes the food more grain than meat. FirstMate ingredients are simple and high quality, with a high meat protein percentage. Both of my dogs love it and their skin/coats are healthy and shiny with no additional supplements needed. This is important to me because they are both show dogs and they need to be in peak condition at all times. Keep up the good work, First Mate. You are "first place" in our household!!

That it has fruit in it.

This dog food seems to help my dog with potty problems. She has an easier time with her bowel movements due to the fruit in this dog food.
