Flint River Ranch Super Premium Health Food For Pets is formulated to help your companion animal heal holistically through properly balanced nutrition and has been called the next best thing to home-cooked meals.






The Chicken Meal, Lamb and Rice formula is oven baked under carefully controlled conditions and temperatures - resulting in better nutrition, palatability and digestibility for your pet. Oven baking changes hard to digest starches into easy-to-digest dextrins, which are readily absorbed into your pet's system. The secret to good nutrition is not how many nutrients are present in a pet's food, but rather, how available they are and how efficiently they can be utilized when digested. The good value is baked-in, not sprayed on.

Benefits initially noticed are a healthier shiny coat, healthy skin and a higher energy level. Our all-natural ingredients also have a positive effect on allergic reactions, dental disease, degenerative organ disjunction, and feline urological syndrome (F.U.S.), often caused or enhanced by low- quality ingredients and chemicals.

Proper diet not only is important for humans, it is the most basic aspect of a pet’s lifestyle. Flint River Ranch food is structured to help the animal’s body to holistically heal itself through proper nutrition. Benefits are noticeable in the pet’s shiny coat, healthy skin and energy level.

Lower Quality Pet Foods may contain:

BY-PRODUCTS - Parts of the animal not fit for human consumption. By-products can include intestines, chicken heads, duck bills, chicken and turkey feet, feathers and bone. Ingredients listed as beef, chicken and poultry by-products are not required to include actual meat. Rendered meat can be any rendered mammal meat including dogs and cats.

ETHOXYQUIN, BHA and BHT - Chemical additives used as preservatives. Ethoxyquin is regulated as a pesticide and cannot be added to human food. Many pet foods contain fillers that have little or no nutritional value. Products like feathers, soy, cottonseed hulls, corn cobs, peanut hulls, citrus pulp, screenings, weeds, straw and cereal by-products.

FLINT RIVER RANCH CONTAINS ONLY THE HIGHEST QUALITY INGREDIENTS:

CHICKEN MEAL

Considerable amount of time was required to locate our chicken meat source, a specialty supplier that has the ability to process to our specific requirements. Our chicken is not from rendering plants where by-products are rendered at high temperature. There are no bones, by-products or indigestible parts in our Chicken Meal. It is strictly human quality chicken flesh with some edible skin. The same as you would cook for your family. We have the chicken cooked at the supplier to maintain freshness and reduce the possibility of contamination in handling and shipping uncooked product. It is processed into a "Ground Meal" form with most of the water removed for ease of handling and reduced shipping costs.

OVEN-BAKING

The company, baking our canine product, has been baking pet food for over 30 years. The temperature is regulated and monitored, along with the mixing process, every 10 minutes with a computer printout for control and regulatory agency reporting. It is always within standards or it must be destroyed. The process includes "twice-baking" of a "cookie" for uniformity of product before the cookie is broken into bite size pieces. The palatability and digestibility is baked in - therefore we do not spray our product with liver, fats or sugar to encourage the pet to eat. The baking process converts harmful starches into dextrins. The good taste is baked-in, not sprayed on. We could reduce our costs considerably by using an extrusion process as do most pet food manufacturers. However, steam cooking in the extrusion process will not produce the premium quality we desire.

WHEAT AS FOOD INGREDIENT

Some humans, as well as pets, are allergic to wheat. However, it is a far better grain to digest than corn or soy bean. Using a combination of different forms of grain - ground wheat, wheat flour, wheat germ meal, ground rice is better than just one grain.

Humans, as well as pets, have certain foods they should not eat. We realize that one product cannot meet the needs of every pet owner. While a wheat base is acceptable to most dogs, it is up to each pet owner to make this determination. We purchase our grains from General Mills and Pilsbury, not direct from the farm. The cost is greater; however, we are insured of receiving the finest quality without the risk of mold or other harmful toxins.

BEET PULP

Our beet pulp has no sugar. We use only the fiber left after all the sugar has been extracted. Beet pulp is by far the best source of fiber to gently massage intestinal walls, removing the mucus/slime and aid in the animal’s bowel movement. Nutrients are first digested in the stomach - then absorbed into the blood through the intestinal walls. Proper fiber acts as a calming base for forming the stool in the colon and it develops good fecal consistency. We feel it is better than peanut hulls, corncobs, citrus, screenings and other fillers most often used in pet foods.

PRESERVATIVES

Foods will spoil without some form of temperature control or preservatives. Some feel that chemical preservatives are more important to use than allowing the possibility of a food turning rancid. We disagree. As a preservative, we use Vitamin E, a closely related fat-soluble compound known as tocopherols. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that retards the oxidation of other vitamins. It is important for reproduction. Vitamin E works as a preservative up to a period of twelve months and as a peak preservative up to six months. Our products, including manufacturing and shipping time, are in the hands of the pet owner within 1 month. When stored out of direct heat, the pet owner has a "fresh" product for a period of at least 5 months - with the ability to feed for 11 months. If your pet does not consume food during this length of time, the food can he frozen to preserve freshness. Our food is not "warehoused," it is delivered to Riverside within two days of manufacture.
