The FirstMate Story
As any captain knowns, there is no one more important on a boat than the first mate. And the best first mates are our pets, of course. Michael Florian fished commercially for many years, where he honed a strong work ethic, based on trust and honesty. Michael and his team know that to ensure quality, they need to control their products’ production. That is why FirstMate sources their own ingredients and makes all of their products at their family-owned manufacturing facilities using quality ingredients and enhanced production processes. The result is consistent nutrients between batches, giving quality nutrition to your first mate in every bite.
