Grain Free Chicken with Blueberries formula includes chicken as a single source novel protein. The grain free, simplistic design makes it a great maintenance formula but also provides an ideal diet for dogs with allergies or digestion problems. A large quantity of fresh blueberries has been added to this diet for their antioxidant benefits. Antioxidants provided from blueberries promote a healthy immune system, urinary tract, increase eyesight and memory function, help prevent cancer, and provide a nutritional source of dietary fiber.
- All FirstMate formulations are manufactured at their plant located in Chilliwack B.C. Canada with care. Because they own their manufacturing facility, they have greater control of ingredient and manufacturing quality and safety.
- All primary ingredients come only from North American sources.
-
All ingredients used in FirstMate diets are all natural and do not contain bi-product. FirstMate does not import inferior ingredients and are 100% ethoxoquin free.
- All FirstMate Formulas are naturally preserved using vitamins C and E.
- FirstMate grain free dog formulas offer a single source protein and carbohydrate. These formulas have a lower level of protein and fat than other grain free products. This is great for dog owners who like the idea of feeding grain free, but are concerned about high levels of protein or fat. If other grain free diets have been too rich for your dog, FirstMate might be just what you've been looking for.
- Several of FirsMate's grain free diets have the carbohydrate listed first in the ingredient list. Usually we see this as a red flag, but not this time. Because FirstMate uses single source ingredients rather than multiple carbohydrate sources, the carbohydrate is weighed all together and weighs more than the protein, so it appears first. If you weighed together all the carbohydrate sources in other high quality foods, they would also outweigh the protein. FirstMate takes great pride in the honest display of their ingredient panel.
