Recommended Daily Feeding Guide

Feeding Guidelines

Ideal daily feeding portions will vary for different cats, depending on age, size, breed, environment and activity levels. Because Carna4 is so concentrated in high quality nutrients that are easily absorbed by your cat, you may need to feed 10% – 20% less per day than most other dry foods. The amounts in the table and calculator are guidelines only and you should carefully monitor your cat’s weight, until an ideal balance is found. You can view the recommended daily feeding table here.

Carna4 may be free-fed throughout the day or fed at specific meal times. Plenty of fresh, clean water should be available at all times.

To free-feed Carna4, fill your cat’s bowl each morning with the recommended portion and make the bowl accessible all day. To feed by scheduled meals, divide the recommend daily portion by the number of meals fed. If you are using Carna4 in combination with other diets be sure to calculate the calories contributed from the foods and reduce the amount of Carna4 accordingly. Although Carna4 is a great complement to raw feeding, we do not recommend feeding Carna4 and raw in the same meal.

Remember to:

• Provide your cat with plenty of fresh, clean drinking water at all times.
  
• Bring your cat to the veterinarian regularly.
• Give your cat play and exercise every day.

Cups Per Bag

Digestive Health
How much of the food they eat is actually metabolized (absorbed) by your pet? At Carna4, we are committed to regular testing of all of our products for nutritional values and digestibility using the services of an internationally respected third-party lab. When we tested the digestibility of our recipes (the percentage of the nutrition absorbed by the animal eating the food) tests show that Carna4 delivers very high nutritional uptake, reflected in a Percent Digestibility score of 94%-95% for each formula. This is because our recipes contain only pure whole food ingredients which are recognized by the body as nutritious. The body knows just what to do with our ingredients and explains why cats with sensitive digestive systems and skin conditions thrive on Carna4.

Transitional & Rotational Feeding
Transitioning to Carna4

It MAY take several days for your cat to adjust to the richer nutrients in Carna4. Start by mixing one-part Carna4 to four parts of your cat’s old food. Gradually increase the proportion of Carna4 over 7-10 days until you are feeding all Carna4.

For picky cats, take several Carna4 nuggets in your hands and rub them together. Then put the food away and pet your cat all over. Doing this 2-3 times BEFORE introducing the food makes the smell more familiar to your cat and increases the likelihood they will try a new food.

Your cat may have larger OR LOOSER stools in the early part of his or her transition period as the better-quality fiber in Carna4 helps to clean out the colon. This is a normal and healthy effect, and you will see the stools return to normal later in the transition. When transitioning to Carna4 from another diet, try sprinkling in some Flora4 ground sprouted seeds food topper to help aid digestion and normalize stools faster

Rotating Between Carna4 Proteins

There is USUALLY no transition period needed when switching between different proteins of Carna4. Many customers switch with every bag.

However, if your cat has a sensitive tummy, we recommend feeding 50% of the old protein and 50% of the new protein for a day or so before completely switching to the new recipe AND adding ONE TABLESPOON PER FEEDING OF Flora4 to the food when switching up the proteins to keep their tummy at ease.
