FirstMate’s Pacific Ocean Fish with Blueberries diet is a wonderful choice for kittens or cats at all stages of life. Wild herring, anchovies, and sardines provide a single source (fish) meat protein. This simple, limited ingredient diet allows for easy digestion and a reduced chance of allergic reaction. FirstMate’s grain and gluten free cat diets are loaded with fresh blueberries which provide a nutritional source of antioxidants. Blueberries promote a healthy immune system, urinary tract, increase eyesight and memory function, and provide a nutritional source of dietary fiber. All FirstMate formulations are manufactured at their family owned facility located in Chilliwack B.C. Canada, with care.

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.

Cats LOVE this! Duck with blueberries is best. Chewy please offer this flavor!
My cat isn't particularly fussy, but I can't even get her to try ONE bite of this food. She loves her current 'Ocean Herring & Orange' flavor dry food from another brand, but it's just too expensive to be sustainable for me. I chose this particular product because it was a bit cheaper, and the 'Ocean Fish & Blueberries' flavor seemed similar enough in flavor that my cat would at least try it but even though I gradually introduced the new food as I've always done (and is recommended by vets), she refuses to taste even a single piece of it. She barely even gives it a sniff, so I assume the smells/taste just isn't for her :(
I have been using FirstMate dry food for over five years. I recently switched from the chicken flavor to seafood since my cat appears to have food allergies. A family friend has worked in the pet food industry for years and knows the companies. He says FirstMate is a very good company from how it is run and how ingredients are sourced. I do want to give a shout out to Chewy for being so helpful with returns so I could figure out my cat's food situation.
I love that it is healthy (uses fish that are small and very low in mercury) and very calorie dense too so it’s great value. My cats are very fussy and tend to only like dry food that has a very high percentage of protein which this does, they love it.
My cat will eat around this food. He won’t touch it.
My cat seriously thinks this dry food is a treat instead of a meal. The ingredients are really healthy and I can tell that she isn’t as bloated in her belly area anymore after using this food and she has more energy! I would say it is worth the price.
My 2-1/2 year old 100%indoor adopted Tuxedo cat, was chewing chunks of hair off his body for 2 months. I had his vet do a thorough blood analysis. He is allergic to 6 different foods, which almost all are found in most dry foods. He has been eating this as a grazing food all day and twice a day has canned food. So far so good. He loves the taste.
Unfortunately my cats didn’t like this. It’s a great food though I think based on ingredients and reviews. I’ll feed it to my ferals who will eat anything. Back to the drawing board for my domestic kitties.
My kitty would not touch this food :-( had to return but Chewy gave me a refund and asked me to donate :-)
I was given this product as a sample. My cat loves it. It’s pretty pricey, so I give a small portion to her as her afternoon treat, instead of a regular meal.
