FirstMate & Kasiks Pet Food Mini Trainers Wild Pacific Caught Fish Meal & Blueberries Treats
Treat complementary High meat
Is FirstMate & Kasiks Pet Food Mini Trainers Wild Pacific Caught Fish Meal & Blueberries Treats a good dog food?
This is a treat, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a treat should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.
Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.
100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Why you might choose it
- Meat makes up an estimated 31% of the dry matter (18% as fed).
- Doesn't list grain ingredients.
- Declares energy content, which most labels omit.
Why you might not
- A treat, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
- 100% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.
What the label tells us
- The label lists 7 ingredients.
- Uses generic terms (Ocean Fish): the specific animal source is not stated.
- Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
- Prints no ingredient quantities.
Why is this treat not scored?
Our 1 to 100 rating applies to complete diets, so treats and complementary foods are presented as what the label tells us rather than a number that would invite comparison with complete meals.
What should I look for on a treat label?
A short ingredient list, named animal sources instead of generic terms, and no artificial colours or preservatives. Printed quantities are a good transparency signal, though few treat labels provide them.
These points are derived from the published ingredient list, not a rating.

Contributions are rounded to two decimals, so they may not sum exactly to the subtotal. The full coefficient table is published on the methodology page.
This is not a complete diet, so the 1-100 rating does not apply to it. Read the recipe breakdown above as ingredient-quality context only.
Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges
Not applicable to complementary food. FEDIAF reference ranges apply to complete diets.
Transparency: what the label discloses
How much the manufacturer discloses, measured against the FEDIAF Code of Good Labelling Practice and Regulation 767/2009. Mandatory items dominate the weighting.

Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Analytical constituents declared, Batch and date labelling).
Safety: recall history
Recall and safety-notice history, time-decayed. This dimension is shown alongside the score and never feeds the headline number.
No recalls recorded in our database.
Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it
The claims made on the pack and product page, checked against the declared label. We record claims as stated; "consistent" means our stored label data supports the claim, "contradicted" means it conflicts with it. Functional claims are recorded but never scored.
67/100 · limited — 3 checkable claims: 2 consistent, 1 contradicted.
Contradicted by the label
- "Single Meat Protein" — the declared label says otherwise on single protein.
Consistent with the label
- "NO Grain, Glycerine, or Peas" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
- "Grain & Pea Free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
5 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.
Limited: at least one claim contradicts the declared label, or a recent upheld ASA ruling applies.
