Unlike traditional pates, FirstMate excludes artificial thickening agents such as guar gum or carrageenan, resulting in a loose, stirrable consistency akin to Greek yogurt.⁠

FirstMate products stand out by maintaining palatability and avoiding the usual hardening when refrigerated. Made with high-quality ingredients, our formulas are proudly made in our human-grade cannery in British Columbia. ❤️⁠

Our fish-based options feature a combination of wild-caught herring, anchovy, and sardines. ⁠Our commitment to using the entire fish, excluding the roe, sets us apart from many other fish-based diets. This unique approach ensures a higher meat-to-bone ratio in our diets.💙🐟️⁠

Our Indoor Formula uses humanely raised Canadian Chicken and Wild Caught Herring, Anchovy, and Sardines as a healthy source of protein. This low-fat, reduced-calorie formula is optimal for indoor cats. The Grain Friendly™ category is free of corn, wheat, soy, potato, and peas.❤️⁠

Did you know that our company originally started as a fish feed producer, which has helped to provide our products with unique features and benefits? For example, our unique vacuum infusion system (VIS) is equipment originally designed for fish feed production. ⁠🐟️⁠. In FirstMate, our VIS has helped to ensure nutrient continuity in every bag and every batch. ⁠
