Fava Beans – are loaded with minerals, especially magnesium, potassium, folate and zinc; vitamins including niacin (B3), thiamin (B1), A ,C, K and beta carotene. They are low calorie and have no saturated fat but plenty of fatty acids. When cooked, Fava beans are a nutrition power-house.
Whole Sweet Potatoes & Carrots – Rooted with natural sources of antioxidants, beta carotene (vitamin A), B vitamins and various minerals, including iron and niacin, these garden vegetables add essential nourishment to your dog’s diet.
Whole Apples – This scrumptious fruit adds vitamins and disease-fighting antioxidants, while its pectin provides soluble fiber to keep your dog ‘regular’ and help reduce colon cancer risks.

Recommended Daily Feeding Guide

Ideal daily feeding portions will vary for different dogs, depending on age, size, breed, environment and activity levels. Because Carna4 is so concentrated in high quality nutrients that are easily absorbed by your dog, you will need to feed 15% to 25% fewer cups per day than most other dry foods. The amounts shown below are guidelines only and you should carefully monitor your dog’s weight, until an ideal balance is found:

	8 fl. oz. Cups per Day
Weight (lbs)	Puppy Less than 6 mos.	Puppy 6 to 12 mos.	Adult	Active Adult	Less Active or Senior Dog
3	3/4 to 1	3/4 to 1/2	1/4	3/8	1/8 to 1/4
5	1 to 1 1/4	1 to 3/4	3/8	1/2	1/4 to 3/8
10	1 1/2 to 1 3/4	1 1/2 to 1	1/2	3/4	1/2
15	2 to 2 1/4	1 3/4 to 1 1/2	3/4	1	5/8
20	2 1/2 to 2 3/4	2 1/4 to 1 3/4	1	1 1/4	3/4
30	3 to 3 1/2	2 3/4 to 2	1 1/4	1 3/4	1
