About the Recipe
Our natural ingredients provide your dog a clean, complete diet that is every-day-easy. Our sprouted seed mix offers a wealth of super-nutrients, including high levels of naturally occurring antioxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids. By using these seeds in a sprouted state, we boost our food’s bio-available amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics, Omega-3s and antioxidants to levels far exceeding AAFCO standards.
And thanks to our sprouted seeds, Carna4 is LOW GLYCEMIC and LOW GLUTEN – ideal for sensitive dogs. We use only 100% true food and you can easily pronounce the name of every ingredient in Carna4 because all are grown only on Canadian and American farms – not overseas factories.
We have made several improvements to our original Chicken formula in our continual quest to produce the best dog food possible. In 2016 we:
• Added more fresh meat to raise the protein from 25% to 28% and raise the fat from 15% to 17%.
• Removed potato as #5 ingredient.
• Added more salmon to move from #7 to #5 ingredient.
• Replaced whole peas with organic sprouted peas.
• Removed rosemary as last ingredient.

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:
Use 90 lbs serving plus 1/2 cup per 20 lbs of body weight more than 90 lbs.
