There is ample scientific evidence that
proper nutrition enhances your companion animals' health, performance
and longevity. Over-processing and chemical additives destroy much
of the nutritional value of companion animal, and human, foods.
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 utlized 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 disfunction, and feline urological syndrome
(F.U.S.), often caused or enhanced by low-quality ingredients and
chemicals.
- Kibble is slowly OVEN-BAKED (not extruded) at low temperatures
to change the hard-to-digest starches into easy-to-digest dextrins
and to keep in the nutrition.
- Only high quality Human-Grade ingredients, you won't find
the USDA rejected meats other pet food companies use!
- Three kinds of grains, two kinds of rice and a mixture of chicken
and lamb for complete nutrition.
- Flint River Ranch is made three times a week and then shipped
directly to you so it is always fresh and never sits on a shelf!
- So highly digestible that your pet's stools will be greatly reduced.
- Such high-quality ingredients that you'll notice less odor in
the cat box.
- NO artificial colors or flavors.
- NO large amounts of salt (other makers do this to make
the food more palatable).
- NO Corn in the dog food (cats do not have problems with
corn like dogs do!).
- NO Ethoxyquin, BHA or BHT.
- NO Propyl Gallate, propylene glycol or other chemical preservatives.
- Because Flint River Ranch is concentrated for better nutrition,
palatability and digestibility, you will feed from 20% - 40% less
than other foods.
- Delivered FREE to your door, anywhere in the Continental US.
Chicken Meal
Considerable amount of time was required to locate the chicken meat
source, a specialty supplier that has the ability to process to Flint
River Ranch's specific requirements. Their chicken is not from rendering
plants where by-products are rendered at high temperature. There are
no bones, by-products or indigestible parts in the Chicken Meal. It
is quality chicken flesh with some edible skin. Flint River
Ranch has 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.
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 soybean. 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. While a wheat base is
acceptable to most dogs, it is up to each pet owner to make this determination.
NEW! For those adult dogs determined to be food sensitive,
Flint River Ranch now produces a superior food without wheat, corn
or chicken - LAMB/MILLET/RICE Adult Dog Food.
Flint River Ranch purchases grains from General Mills and Pillsbury,
not directly from the farm. The cost is greater; however, they are
insured of receiving the finest quality without the risk of mold or
other harmful toxins.
Beet Pulp
The beet pulp used in Flint River Ranch Pet Foods has no sugar. Only
the fiber left after all the sugar has been extracted is used. Beet
pulp by far is the best source of fiber to gently massage intestinal
walls, removing the mucous/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. Compare this fiber source to the others such as 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.
Flint River Ranch products are in the hands of the pet owner
within one month of manufacture, including shipping time. Products are shipped FREE via UPS Ground directly to you from a FRR distribution center in your area of the country. 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 be frozen to preserve freshness.
