FLINT RIVER RANCH SUPER PREMIUM ALL-NATURAL PET FOOD

Fresh from the Oven to your Door!

Flint River Ranch Super Premium All-Natural Formula is slowly TWICE OVEN-BAKED under carefully controlled conditions and proper temperatures. This unique baking process changes the hard-to-digest molecules of "raw" starches into easy-to-digest dextrines. This process acts as a "pre-digest" of the kibble food, resulting in less strain on the dog's digestive system and allows for a greater degree of food absorption. A dog's intestinal tract is short; it functions in the most efficient manner when the food is concentrated and can be quickly digested. The important vitamins, minerals and food ingredients can then be easily assimilated into the dog's digestive system.

Extrusion Vs. Quality Oven-Baking:

Most companies prepare pet food by steaming it as quickly as possible, usually less than 3 minutes, then extruding it under extreme pressure through a metal die (steam extrusion process). This process expands the food with air creating a uniform shape. This method does not produce the highly digestible food that the baking process creates. This extruded food (cooked in a very short time) is usually almost "raw" and requires the addition of what many nutritionists feel are harmful chemical preservatives (Ethoxyquin, BHA, and BHT) to maintain a reasonable product shelf-life. These chemical products may be associated with dry skin, allergic reactions, dental disease, poor health, and degenerative organ dysfunction.

Oven-Baking Process:

In the oven-baking process, a small 2 inch size biscuit is baked - moving slowly through the oven - then is broken into smaller, irregular "cracked" kibble ranging in size from tiny morsels to about 1/2 inch. The smaller morsels are important; they will digest very quickly in the dog's system helping create immediate nutritional value for your pet.

The larger, crunchy kibble with a "cracked" exterior naturally cleans teeth, exercises the gums and freshens breath. Since the food is concentrated, there is more value with less food consumed.

Feeding Flint River Ranch oven-baked foods will require 20-25% less food than steam-extruded foods. Pet owners will find less odor and stool clean-up. By feeding Flint River Ranch quality products, you will be able to see the difference in your pet's health, skin, coat, energy level, and quality of life-style.

All-Natural Ingredients:

Quality ingredients provide for a pet's healthy well-being by helping the pet's body holistically heal itself through healthy nutrition.

Grain:

Wheat, Rice, and Millet. Whole wheat and selected parts of the wheat berry are used as our base grain. Wheat grains are not only more digestible than corn, it is one of the most nutritionally balanced cereal grains. It is an easy-to-digest source of carbohydrates, fiber and energy. A combination of grains, like a combination of meats, is better than just one source. Low quality fillers like wood fiber, corn cobs, peanut hulls, cottonseed, straw, soy beans or citrus pulp are never found in Flint River Ranch products.

Meat:

Chicken meat is our primary meat source, with the addition of lamb and a small amount of fish. There are no rendered by-products, intestines, heads, feet or feathers in our formulas. The amino acids provided by the meats are the basic building blocks of muscle, skin, coat, bone, blood and the immune system.

Vitamins and Minerals:

Our minerals are chelated: bonded with amino acids (protein) and highly effective in providing metabolic absorption. Our products are preserved with a combination of mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E) and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). No harmful chemicals are used or added to extend shelf life.

Flax:

The different proteins in flax provide a high proportion base of unsaturated, essential fatty acids and dietary fiber. Flax is recognized for its potential in reducing the rish of some chronic diseases as well as improving the thickness and sheen of the hair coat. It provides a great benefit of oven-baked food by resisting oxidation from the baking process and improving product shelf life.
