Native® Level 2 is recommended for performance canines with moderate activity levels and periods of vigorous activity or for those that may have difficulty maintaining weight with regular exercise. Formula is also suitable for puppies and pregnant or lactating females with low to normal energy needs.
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 meal 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.
Native Level 2 Chicken Meal & Rice Formula is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages including growth of large size dogs (70 lb or more as an adult).

Puppies may start nibbling around 4-5 weeks of age. You may feed Native Level 2 dry, but moistening may enhance acceptance. If desired, self-feeding may be started at any age after weaning. 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.
