Information About Ingredients
|
CHICKEN MEAL - The chicken we use is strictly human quality chicken flesh
and edible skin, the same as you would serve your family. Our Chicken Meal and other meat sources do
not contain poultry by-products or other by-
products like chicken feet, chicken heads, duck
heads, beaks, feathers, fish heads, hides, hoofs
and intestines as are commonly found in
many so-called "quality" pet foods.. There is no corn, cottonseed,
corn cobs, citrus pulp, breakfast food by-
products, soy beans, fillers, and no screening
or other foreign materials such as noxious
weeds, straw, hulls or chaff in our product.
WHEAT BASE - Wheat is far easier to digest than corn or soybean. Utilizing
a combination of various grains, such as ground wheat, wheat flour, wheat
germ meal and ground rice, is much healthier than simply a single type of
grain.
PRESERVATIVES - Food spoils without some form of temperature control or
the use of preservatives. Chemical preservatives are NOT acceptable at Flint
River Ranch. We use, instead, only natural Vitamin E in a fat-soluble compound
known as Tocopherol, which works just fine as a preservative for up to twelve
months ("peak" preservation for up to six months). Vitamin E is also an
anti-oxidant that retards the oxidation of other vitamins in our food. If
necessary, our food may be frozen to preserve freshness
Most brands of dog food include some by-products and chemical preservatives. The
use of low quality products and chemical
preservatives may be associated with dry skin,
allergic reactions, dental disease, poor health
and degenerative organ disfunction. The
average dog (44 lbs) can consume 26 lbs of
preservatives each year.
Oven-Baked Kibble
The Chicken Meal and Rice formula is
oven-baked under carefully controlled
conditions and temperatures - resulting in
better nutrition, palatability and digestibility
for your pet. The ultimate in premium
nutrition and gourmet dining!
Oven-baking changes hard to digest starches
into easy to digest dextrins, which are
readily absorbed into your dog's system.
The secret to good nutrition is not how
many nutrients are present in a dog'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.
Because the Kibble is high density, you feed
20%-25% less than other foods. Each
serving delivers maximum nutrition without
Fillers so you'll also notice a lower stool
volume and less clean-up.
The Chicken Meal and Rice formula is
made with rice and wheat. Ordinary dog
foods are made with corn. Rice and wheat
are easier to digest than corn; therefore
easier on your dog's system. Various
selected parts of the wheat berry are used
along with whole wheat flour as it is one of
the most nutritionally balanced grains. A
combination of grains provides better
nutrition than one grain.
There's no sprayed-on additive or greasy
coating to make the taste acceptable.
Ordinary dog foods are extruded under high
pressure and extreme temperatures and then
sprayed with fat and other products in order
to encourage dogs to eat.
When you buy dog food, you're looking for
nutrition. Studies have shown that dogs were
required to eat 3 to 4 times as much of an
economy brand than a premium food to
provide proper nutrition. Flint River Ranch dog food is cheaper to feed than
other food costing less. There are 80 cups in
a 20 lb. bag at a cost of 25 cents per cup.
Daily feeding of 2 to 2.5 cups is 50 to 63
cents. Compare to a daily cost of 70 to 90
cents in feeding 3.5 to 5 cups of a food costing
18 to 20 cents per cup. So, while
initial outlay may appear more costly, the reverse in obviously true within
a few weeks! You will be able to see
the difference in your dog's healthy skin, coat,
and energy level. Healthy nutrition can also
mean less medical bills. Flint River believes your dog
deserves the best possible food!
