Furry PI's verdict

FirstMate Kasiks Grain Free holds up well under the magnifying glass. Boneless/skinless salmon leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. It isn't flawless — pea starch and salt sit high on the list without being animal protein. Even so, the overall picture is good for everyday feeding.

What's concerning

Among its leading ingredients, pea starch and salt aren't counted as animal protein, and the top of the list is where cats need meat most — the main thing that kept it from a higher grade.

What works

Boneless/skinless salmon leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.
Carbohydrate load stays close to what a cat would eat in nature.
