When Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever took on Kent's Native dog food as a national sponsor, you can be fairly sure they didn't make that decision lightly. Without using wheat, soy or corn, without by-products and chemical preservatives, Kent's four Native formulas are geared to move your dog through progressive levels of training stress and his resulting energy needs without upsetting his gut.

Start with Level 1, a lamb-fish-rice mix with a protein:fat ratio of 24:14 when beginning a regular exercise program. Move on to Level 2's 26:16 when you begin the stressful training of force-fetching or "whoa" work. Running long triple mark drills? You'll want to step up to Level 3's 30:20 mix; and during hunting and trialing season, move on one more time to Level 4's 35:25 blend.
