Features & Benefits

30% Protein / 20% Fat

High-quality real meat proteins help fuel metabolic needs and maintain lean muscle.

Heart Health

Cardiac health depends on heart-focused nutrition. Our balance of protein building nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids and trace minerals helps support heart muscle and tissue integrity, reduce inflammation, and regulate cardiovascular function.

Wholesome Grains

Contains no corn, wheat or soy for maximum digestibility and smaller, firmer stools.

Brain Health

Vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids and complexed bio-available zinc, copper and manganese in Native play important roles in normal brain development and cognitive ability.

Hip & Joint Support

Trace minerals such as copper, calcium, and Omega -3 fatty acids in Native are essential for keeping bones strong, fighting inflammation, and regulating bone and cartilage regeneration and thickness which can lead to greater performance.

Antioxidant-Rich Nutrients

Key nutrients support the body’s natural defenses through a healthy immune system.

NutriVantage® Nutrition Optimizer® for Dogs

An exclusive blend of organic macromolecules, trace minerals, antioxidants, and chelating agents provide optimal nutrition supplementation for the digestive tract.

Perfect Paws

Paw pad thickness is vital to the overall performance of your canine athlete. Optimal levels of the specially complexed bio-available zinc, copper and manganese have been shown to enhance paw pad thickness and integrity.

Concentrated Energy

Meat protein and fat delivers nutrient dense calories to maintain weight and stamina.

Meat Protein vs. Meat Protein Meal

Many pet food companies promote their products as chicken or meat sources at significant levels. Such protein sources may be 75 percent water or more. So, when moisture is lost during the pet food production process, the level of actual meat remaining is substantially less.

For Native performance dog food, chicken or lamb is the preferred protein source and contains less than 10% water – meaning the level of actual meat remains high and is truthfully the first ingredient on the label after processing.

Prebiotics

For digestive health and immune system support.

Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids

Essential for normal immune activity and skin, coat, and nail health.

If puppies are not self feeding, but on a schedule, feed them 3 times per day up to 6 months of age and 2 times per day from 6 months to 1 year of age. Provide plenty of fresh water.

For Pregnant Females

Using the feeding directions, offer 50% more food during pregnancy.

For Lactating Females
