I know first mate is a very healthy brand of cat food. Our cats have been eating the canned for 6 weeks (evening feeding) and thought it was time to switch their morning feeding (dry) also to first mate. As suggested I transitioned about 4-5 days to the First mate and our cats really enjoy it!

Wrong shaped food for my cats

I have 2 cats with stomatitis, one has no teeth and the other only has a few. Cats aren't chewers anyways, but I always try to get small kibble specifically for them. My other cats prefer the small shape too. I looked everywhere for a picture of what this kibble looked like, but couldn't find one. After reading all the reviews, I noted that a few people mentioned its small size, so I took a chance. Unfortunately, this food is shaped like a jack, and not round, so its too difficult for my dental challenged cats to eat.

Cats wouldn’t eat it

A lot of money to spend. No one’s fault just would not eat it.

Our cats love it!

When you have cats pacing and crying while waiting for their dry food, it’s pretty obvious they like it. They love it more than their wet food.

I’ve always known First Mate makes some of the best cat/dog food on the market. This particular formula has done wonders for my rescue cat. She used to shed really bad and her coat was kinda grimy. After a couple weeks eating First Mate, she’s barely shedding, she’s really healthy and she’s softer than a cashmere sweater.
