Furry PI's verdict

Our investigation turned up real problems with FirstMate Grain Free. The "pacific ocean fish meal" on the label doesn't name its species. To be fair, no grains on the label. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

Contains unnamed "pacific ocean fish meal" — the species isn't specified.
An elevated carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.

What works

No grains on the label.

The grade is only the cover of the case file. The free app shows the full 100-point breakdown, every flagged ingredient, and better-graded alternatives for your cat.
