• 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 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.
• 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.
