FirstMate Dog and Cat Food

First Mate is an all Canadian Pet food company based in British Columbia.  Each formula contains 70% of protein that comes from meat. They manufacture everything in house and don't outsource manufacturing.FirstMate sources their ingredients locally to them in Western North America.  If higher quality ingredients are being produced somewhere else, then they look at those options. Their Australian Lamb is free-ranged, grass fed, with no added hormones or antibiotics. 

Quotes from FirstMate.com
"With fewer ingredients, our animals can utilize the nutritional benefits of every ingredient found in the 100% complete and balanced FirstMate diets.  This approach results in reduced bodily stress and a smaller stool (when compared to other kibble diets) by achieving more complete digestion"

Why Potato is listed first:
"FirstMate grain free dog formulas offer a single source protein and carbohydrate. Our products offer a proven level of protein rather than a high protein diet. Because we are using single source ingredients rather than breaking up our carbohydrate source, the carbohydrate (potato) appears first. FirstMate takes great pride in the honest display of our ingredient panel"
