FirstMate Grain Friendly Ocean Fish & Rice Formula
FirstMate's Ocean Fish & Rice Formula is singled out for delivering marine-sourced omega‑3s within a grain-friendly rice base, a technical advantage for reducing joint inflammation while keeping the product aligned with the grain-inclusive brief. Financially and positionally this product competes as a value-oriented, specialty fish option — it typically costs less than some premium red-meat recipes like Acana while offering superior EPA/DHA levels for joint health compared with poultry-dominant grain formulas.
