🍽️🐾 Quality You Can See, Taste, and Trust
At FirstMate, quality begins with premium ingredients:
✅ Humanely raised chicken & turkey from local BC farms. 🐓
✅ Wild Albacore tuna line-caught off the Alaskan coast. 🐟
✅ Wild salmon sourced from Vancouver Island’s sustainable fisheries. 🌊

Their unique process ensures exceptional nutrition:
🥩 Proteins are cooked just once in the can from RAW to lock in flavor and maintain quality.
🌱 Only wholesome ingredients—no artificial thickeners or preservatives.

Every can undergoes rigorous safety checks and thermal processing, delivering a balanced, safe, and delicious diet your pets will love. 🐕❤️

Because your FirstMate deserves a quality meal. 🛡️✨

🌎🐾 Quality You Can Trust
In a world where quality is often outsourced, knowing where your pet’s food comes from matters. That’s why all FirstMate diets are proudly made in their own Canadian facilities. 🍁✨

For their fish formulas, FirstMate has selected herring, anchovy, and sardines—species low on the food chain that offer a cleaner fish option with minimal mercury and heavy metal levels. These fish feed on plankton, providing a rich source of omega fatty acids while remaining low in toxins. 🐟🌿

FirstMate prioritizes pet health and safety by sourcing ingredients from strictly regulated countries and facilities. 🛡️🐕

Because your pet deserves the very best. ❤️

🌊🐟 From Sea to Bowl

Over 35 years ago, FirstMate founder Michael Florian discovered the incredible health benefits of a fish-rich diet while fishing off the coasts of BC and Alaska. 🛶✨

Today, every FirstMate dry fish formula features wild-caught herring, anchovy, and sardine sustainably sourced from the Pacific Ocean. 🌊💙 FirstMate uses the whole fish—not just heads and frames—delivering higher meat protein and a rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. 🌿🐾

Because your pets deserve a premium, healthy diet straight from the sea. 🐕❤️
