“You might want to know that one of the dogs we have been feeding the Native just took 2nd place in the Gun Dog Stake at the American Brittany Club Western Futurity in Corning California. She came very close to winning the dual award as well by finishing 4th in her class in the show ring. Her coat was beautiful.”

“Thanks for recommending Native dog food. First of all I was very pleased with the service. The web site indicated I could expect delivery in 7 to 14 days, but my order arrived in just 5 days. More importantly, the transition for all three of my dogs (two Labs and a 12 year old Shepherd mix) was problem free. There has been a significant reduction in stool volume (about 50%) although I am feeding the same amount as previously. Additionally, my male Lab has stopped his foot licking and chewing (which I read could be a sign of food allergy). Another benefit is that the male’s stools have become very solid and well formed as compared to the very soft stools he always had with the two national brand premium foods I had fed in the past. I highly recommend Native to anyone looking for a premium feed with no corn, soy, or wheat.”

Being a former police canine handler, I started out several years ago as many rookie handler's do...thinking that the prestige and title of having a "Working Dog" as a partner is everything. As time passed, I as all handlers do, developed that "BOND" with their partner and beginning to focus on the needs of my partner, mainly the nutritional needs, lead me to try numerous foods that were supposedly "SUPERIOR" to all others. Most I tried, were decent, but I noticed no real benefits from the use. After my partner's retirement, I had a relative that worked for a local Kent dealer get me to try their line of pet foods. The line of pet foods offered at that time was good in the fact that it helped maintain a sufficient body weight. I then came in contact with one of Kent's sales representatives and received a 40 pound bag of the NATIVE Level 3. Within three weeks, I noticed a significant change in Cheyenne's energy level, increased stamina, stool consistency and odor being less and not as offensive, as well as the disappearance of a noticeable catch in one of her rear legs that at times caused her severe pain. It has been approximately 6 months now since I have been using NATIVE dog food and I will not change brands as long as this is on the market. I have since put my Border Collie on Native Level 3 and with the addition of two (2) Great Pyrenees Pups for livestock guarding and home protection, now being seven months old, I can truly say that NATIVE dog food is by far, the best food I have used in the past seven years. All of my dogs eat less now, but love to eat. The pups being seven months old, in the last six months have grown exponentially to 90 pounds each, have no health problems and love to do their job. My Border collie can't get enough exercise to keep him happy and Cheyenne, going on 8 years old now and in her two years of retirement with no official training, is ready to go at a single command.
All I can say is feed to the schedule on the package for the first 3 to 6 weeks, give your animal the exercise it needs, and you will not want to feed any other dog food. I have since began offering NATIVE for sale through my company and WILL NOT promote any other Dog Food on the market. Try it, your buddy will like it even if his name isn't Mikey.

Just
wanted to drop you an e-mail and let you know how the
season has been here in South Dakota. Had a great bird
population and the dogs had plenty of work to do. The
best part about the season has been the fact that the
dogs came through it looking great. Have been feeding
Kent's Native #3 product but did go to #4 when we were
guiding every day. I appreciate the time you have spent
educating me on the product and also the $$$ it has saved
me by having to feed less, meaning less time I have had
to spend cleaning the kennels. Hope you can swing by
to see the dogs and get the chance to hunt a few days.
If not, maybe next year.

I
want to tell you how happy I am with the Native food.
Today I had a litter of nine wheaten puppies and it
has been years since I've had this large of a litter.

I can't tell you how happy I am with the NATIVE food. With
the boarding dogs which come from all types of environments
we have not had to treat stress diarrhea, with my own hunting
dogs stools are firm and the dogs love it and waste less.
I have had dogs with food allergies to corn, wheat or soy
that have completely stopped itching, skin conditions and
stools are good. All clients that I have gotten on this food
are loving it! I can't say enough about this food!!!!!! Anyone
who is not on it, except for health conditions that require
a more specific diet, should try this. It's remarkable!

I
have been using Native Performance Diet for Canine Athletics
now for
about 6 weeks and I am amazed at the results! When approached
about this food, I was skeptical because of all of the
dog food recalls in the past months. But, I was also actively
looking for a new food for my kennel.
The problems I had been experiencing recently were poor
coats, loose stools, and overall poor performance on the
current
food I was using. And what I was using was one of the Nation's "premiere
dog foods". The Native Dog Food representative asked
me if I would try this new food which he was already using
and was very satisfied with. I switched over to the Native
2 immediately and all at once. Actually gave the other
food away! I have been so pleased with the results! It
works for
my older dogs, my whelping dogs, and my new puppies! AWESOME!
RESULTS:
Excellent and healthy coats (I had three girls who were
experiencing baldness when bred).
Correct odor and consistency of stools.
… And another bonus:
Toy breeds are notorious for eating stools and I had three
girls that were power eaters.
They have almost completely stopped it!
Plus, they just love this food! It smells so wholesome
when you open a new bag! I am hooked!
Before I could feed free choice and their food containers
were never empty - Now, every time!
I have recommended it to quite a few other breeders (different
breeds) as well as Shih Tzu breeders and they are also
getting excellent results! All of my puppy buyers now feed
this food,
past and present!

Our
Lab, OJ, was always very active and loved to hunt and run
around
our farm. At age 11 he was really slowing down and couldn’t
get off the porch without pulling a muscle or hurting himself.
We put him on some prescription medication that helped a
little but he was going downhill fast. My brother got me
some Native Level 1 to try and I could not believe the difference!
Within days OJ was up and running around like a puppy again!
I had no idea that this food could make such a huge difference
but I won’t feed OJ anything else.

We
have an 8 year old Lab named Oliver. He was suffering from
hip problems and losing weight.
Oliver, was to a point he would not put weight on his
back left
leg and was basically a 3 – legged dog. You could almost
see the pain he would exhibit when ever he tried to lie down
or get up off the porch. This was hard to witness because
Oliver was always full of energy and could run a rabbit down
like no other dog. I thought that if he could gain some weight
back he would at least look better. We started him on Native
Dog Food and before one bag was fed we could see that he
was putting weight back on. After 2 months of being on Native
Oliver is a new dog! He has all four’s on the
ground, he goes for walks every morning. He even adds
a rabbit to
his diet once in awhile!
- The Crawford Family
We
started feeding Native in our boarding facility and noticed
immediate results. Since
feeding Native,
the dogs we board have better looking coats when
they leave than when they arrive. The amount of stool
has
decreased
greatly and the stools we get are very firm and easily
disposed. The dogs also seem to love the food so
they waste very little.
We are very satisfied with Native and are recommending
it to all our clients.
