Questions & Answers

8 Customer Questions


Can you clarify what "lamb meal" is? Does that mean it isn't a clean protein source as the first ingredient?

Answer by ChewyJan 03, 2023
The lamb meal comes from free-range lamb from Australia. The lamb is grass fed without added hormones or antibiotics and is the same lamb as is used for human consumption. It does not contain by-products.

How much of the protein comes from meat?

70% of the protein in this recipe comes from free-range lamb.

I gave 4 star because He hasn't had chance to try & eat this yet. He has remaining previous food -more than half left from lg. bag. When current bag of food gets down to a quarter or less of food, I will slowly transition him over to this First Mate food. Yes, I specifically picked "Grain Friendly". When he starts First Mate food & I see how he does with it, will update + add full review of the product

Great food, bad service.

Won’t be shopping here anymore sadly after several pointless bouts with customer service. For whatever reason my auto ship was cancelled by a customer service member

Won’t be shopping here anymore sadly after several pointless bouts with customer service. For whatever reason my auto ship was cancelled by a customer service member and my 5% auto ship discount was no longer available when I tried to set it up again. Shame on chewy for making it so hard for their team members to properly do their job

Dog Didn’t Like It

I like that this is supposed to be a healthier brand but my dog wouldn’t eat it. He’s not picky either.

I know this is a good food for my dog. But she has been so picky since she lost her brother last summer. I cannot find a food she likes. I add soft food to it and she picks around this kibble...I'm not sure why I bother to add it. Went to our cottage and didn't take the soft food. She went all weekend without touching this food. Idk what to get at this point. I've tried so many foods.

Mac likes this dog food!

Decided to try something with a little grain instead of grain free to satisfy this Jack Russell Terrier's appetite. He likes it and it seems to satisfy him better

BEWARE

I usually use another flavor of Firstmate but it was out of stock for a while so I had to switch. This flavor gives my dog HORRIBLE GAS and upset stomach.

The minimal ingredients for a good price

shiva is allergic to literally everything, but we were able to find this kibble and make it work for us.

My picky eating Doberman likes it

My Doberman is a very picky eater, but seems to like this food right now. The integrity of his poops have improved too.
