Dried apples, dried carrots and dried green beans appear as the produce accents. The manufacturer publishes two feeding columns on the label, one for weight maintenance and a second, roughly 25 percent lower, for weight reduction, running from a third of a cup up to four cups a day across the maintenance column depending on the dog's current weight. It ships in nine bag sizes from 3.5 lb up to 44 lb. The manufacturer states this recipe carries 10 percent fewer calories than Beneful Originals With Farm-Raised Beef.
