Choose Size

Product Overview

FirstMate features pasture-raised New Zealand beef, raised without added hormones or antibiotics, as the single animal protein in this Grain Friendly formula. Two wholesome grains round out a simple, nutrient-dense recipe for everyday feeding.

The Grain Friendly category is free of corn, wheat, soy, potato, and peas, making it optimum for daily feeding or sensitivities. Oatmeal and brown rice add slow-burning energy, and pumpkin supports healthy digestion alongside the chicken fat, which is processed free of protein to reduce allergy risk.

Available in a 4 Pound or 12 Pound bag, a practical size for multi-dog households or larger breeds. Transition gradually over 5-7 days when switching from another food, and always provide fresh water alongside meals.
