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!
The Chicken Meal, Rice and Lamb formula is
nutritionally complete and balanced for all
stages of your pet's life according to AAFCO
Nutrient Profiles for Dog Foods.

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.
