Based in British Columbia, Canada, FirstMate's kibble and cannery facilities both hold the highest certification for pet food production. During the production of their kibble, they use a specialized piece of equipment called a vacuum infusion system, or VIS for short, to add the necessary fats and essential oils.

Most pet food companies add their fats and essential oils by spraying their kibble as it passes along a conveyor belt. FirstMate INFUSES them. During the last stage of production, the cooked and cooled kibble goes into the VIS system. It's at this point that all the air in the pellets is removed by vacuum. The healthy fats and essentials oils are added to the system and air is reintroduced in stages. This process pulls the oils into every piece of kibble ensuring every batch of product is evenly infused with nutrient-rich ingredients and superior quality in every bite.

We're featuring FirstMate and another favorite, Sojos, every weekend this month during our Sample Saturdays from 12-3 p.m. And stop by during Supplement Sundays from 12-5 if you've been curious about pet supplements but aren't sure where to start. We'll share some supplements specific to your pet's needs with you and help explain the benefits!
