FirstMate’s Pacific Ocean Fish formula uses only wild fish from the herring family as the single source of protein. This formula is very rich in omega 3 and 6 fatty acids producing a healthy skin and coat for your dog. Single source protein (fish) and carbohydrates (potatoes) means this is one of the most simple, easily digestible, grain free diet available in the market today. FirstMate Pacific Ocean Fish Formula is great for rotation or elimination diets. All FirstMate formulations are manufactured at their plant located in Chilliwack B.C. Canada with care.

Serve dry or slightly moistened in a clean bowl. Use this chart as an initial guide and adjust accordingly. Feed twice daily. Always provide fresh clean water.
Pregnant females, increase feed intake beginning week 7 of gestation up to 25%. Lactating females increase feeding up to 50%, feeding a minimum of 3 times per day. Feeding requirements vary depending on breed and litter size. Monitor body condition of pregnant and lactating females and adjust feed accordingly.
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.

My daughter recommended this for my overweight dog. She does a lot of research for her dogs and was pleased with the nutritional content. Plus my dog loves it.
After transitioning to First Mate small bites, I noticed my dog was drinking and urinating twice as much as usual. I stuck with this food for about two weeks, at first thinking the drinking was caused by something else. But then as soon as I switched off First Mate, she returned to normal drinking/urinating. We feed a rotational diet of several brands and I've never experienced this issue before. A bit concerning!
This food is the only one that doesn’t give my dog GI upset. I’ve tried several and this one is the best.
I'm hoping this is okay to give to my 70 senior beagle/lab. The smaller bites are easier for her to chew and she really likes it.
The first day we have it to our girl, she threw up. Even with the tiny amount we introduced (10 kibbles) we thought the smaller bites would be easier for her tiny mouth to chew ( she’s 3lbs) but she struggled more. We decided to donate the rest of the bag to a family in need.
So far this has been the best food for my Irish Terrier who has a sensitive tummy. He eats his food after I scatter it around the house so the small bits work better because he has to hunt longer.The bigger pieces are too easy. My only issue is it’s so expensive to buy two bags of small bites vs a large bag of regular size. I wish the small bites came in 28 lb bags too!
Just the right size for my pup, have ordered this be for but it was always the bigger size this size much better for him
My dog has some severe allergies and this product is perfect for him. Fast and secure shipping. Good pricing as well...
Without added fillers and grain free-this food is so much more beneficial to my dogs' diets. Plus, no added peas or lentils.
after a long talk with the MN rep for this brand I was impressed enough to give 3 flavors a try. Slow transition to these foods so I am feeding all 3 flavors as training treats. My dogs love all flavors. Hopefully will transition to using this brand.
