About the food
The Best Nutrition is Simple
FirstMate has been making dog and cat food in Canada since 1989, in its own factory in Chilliwack, British Columbia. It does not entrust production to anyone else, so it keeps the whole of production and quality under its own control.
Every recipe has one source of animal protein: fish, beef, lamb, duck or chicken. Depending on the recipe, 70 to 95% of the protein comes from animal ingredients. The composition is short, so you can read it at a glance.
The points below sum up what this means in the bowl. With every recipe you’ll find its full composition and analytical constituents.
FirstMate food is imported into the Czech Republic by STAZ, a Czech family company since 1993. More about us on the About us page.
