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.
Why do your products appear different at times?
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.
Chicken Fat and Chicken Allergies:
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.
Do you use GMO ingredients?
No, FirstMate and Kasiks do not contain GMO ingredients.
What is a meal? How does it compare to a fresh meat?
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 it
By catdad on Sep 23, 2021
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.

Not for my cat
By 52lida on Sep 14, 2021
My cat will eat around this food. He won’t touch it.

my senior cat loves it!
By daniii on Mar 22, 2021
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.

Great food
By SuperFood on Feb 16, 2021
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.

Picky cats
By NovasMom on Mar 21, 2021
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 cat loves it but pricey
By Karen on Jan 9, 2021
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.

Excellent!
By OsterhausK9 on Jun 17, 2020
We recently got a kitten who was fed a lower quality food (Purina). Even being free fed she was still just a little too thin & her coat was greasy. We already feed all of our dogs Firstmate’s Performance & Extreme with outstanding results so I had to try their cat food. 3 days on this & she’s in near-perfect condition. Great weight, clear eyes, soft coat & building muscle. Can’t go wrong with Firstmate!

healthy delicious diet
By Morrisis on Aug 10, 2020
My kitties love this cat food! I wanted them on a grain free fish diet and this brand aligned with what we were looking for. I’d recommend to a friend for sure!

unfortunately gave my cat diarrhea
By felines on May 16, 2020
I have a chunky cat that I'm trying to wean off dry food. In the meantime, am always looking for high quality dry. His previous food made his coat lovely and he seemed to thrive but had chronic bacteria ear issues. After switching to his current food, Taste of the Wild - Salmon, no more ear problems. Was hoping to add this food into rotation. 3 stars as it seems to be high quality and I admire companies that really trying to go above and beyond for our pets. Sadly, my cat developed horrible diarrhea. I gave it a day hoping he just needed to "adjust" but it continued. I didn't feel right about donating the remaining full bag in case other cats would also experience it so had to throw away I have a chunky cat that I'm trying to wean off dry food.
