The Flint River Ranch all-natural canine food 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 dextrins. 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.
The secret to good nutrition is not how many nutrients are present in dog 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.
The Chicken and Lamb 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 the whole wheat flour as it is oneof the most nutritionally balanced grains. A combinaton of grains provides better nutrition than one grain.
There is 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.
EXTRUSION vs 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 this healthy dog food is concentrated, there is more value with less food consumed.
Feeding our oven-baked natural dog food 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.
The Chicken, Rice, Lamb and Wheat formula is nutritionally complete and balanced for all stages of your pet's life according to AAFCO Nutrient Profiles for Dog Foods.
All Natural Ingredients - plus Essential Vitamins and Minerals (chelated)
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.
Feed your dog once or twice a day. Have plenty of fresh water available. Food requirements vary depending on climate, breed of dog and exercise level. Following are suggested amounts. Feed an amount that will maintain your dog's weight:
WEIGHT SUGGESTED
10 - 15 lbs. 0.6 to 1 Cup
20 - 30 lbs 1 to 1.5 Cups
40 - 50 lbs 2 to 2.2 Cups
60 - 70 lbs 2.5 to 3.2 Cups
80 - 90 lbs 3.5 to 4.2 Cups
100+ lbs 4 to 5 Cups
It is better to introduce Super Premum foods by mixing with your dog's usual food and increasing the amount of Flint River Ranch over several days. It will take time for your dog to adjust to the Super Premium quality. A sudden change in any food source may be a shock to your dog's digestive system. You may notice loose stool. If so, reduce the amount being fed until your dog adjusts.
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 Healthy Dog Food will be cheaper to feed than other food costing less. 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. We believe your dog deserves the best possible food and health.

Also comes in NUGGET SIZE - for larger dogs
FOR LARGER DOGS:
Nuggets are about 1/4" x 5/8" and are the same formula as the Puppy & Adult Kibble. However, it has a harder, darker edge. Some pet owners feel the oven-baked larger nugget shape is better for the dog's teeth and gums.
