“Flint River Ranch has been a
favorite of my canine companions and
me now for a number of years."
Lee, Illinois
"I put the food into a plastic bin, but before I could put the cover on
it, he had his head in it, and I could hardly pull him away. Thank you!"
Susan in Minnesota
"I just wanted to let you know your new
website is wonderful. It is much easier to view your products and
checkout was fast! Thanks,"
Leah in Pennsylvania
"We have an 8 year old Australian Shepherd with a sensitive stomach and
an
indifferent attitude towards her dry food. After
trying the Flint River Trout and Potato and the Lamb, Millet and Rice, not only
is she cleaning her bowl out but she's
actually sniffing in the Pantry for more!"

Valerie, Atlanta, Georgia

the occasion!"

Debra J. Mack, DVM, CVA
Dear Jim,
I quite often get asked the question by
clients as well as my distributors as to
why there is not a separate puppy
formula in your product line. To be
quite honest, it was a question in the
back of my mind as well when I became a
distributor.
I have raised several litters of puppies
on most of the well known premium brands
of puppy food and this summer raised my
first Flint River litter. I purposefully
did not supplement with other puppy food
or use supplements other than yogurt and
vitamin C, to determine for myself if
the regular formula was adequate for
weaning and growing puppies. The results
- the food moistens quite readily into a
soft gruel for starting the puppies on
solid food. Other products take much
longer soaking to completely reduce the
food to a gruel consistency. There were
no problems with soft stools as long as
the puppies did not overeat.
I have now raised three of the
puppies to the age of six months with
nicely controlled growth rates,
beautiful coat and condition, and to
this point, excellent overall health and
soundness. I cannot claim this for the
"premium puppy foods" I have used in the
past.
I also have a client who has recently
weaned a litter of Rottweilers on Flint
River and is very pleased with her
results, as well as numerous other
client raising healthy, sound structured
puppies on regular formula Flint River
Dog Food.
My question now would be, "Would it
ever be necessary to have a separate
puppy formula if the quality of the food
was high enough to provide high quality,
highly digestible ingredients which
would render the necessary nutrients
needed for proper (controlled) growth
and development?" It appears at this
time from my observations, that the
answer is "No", and if so, would not be
the first pet food fallacy I have
discovered.
I have been breeding and showing
English Setters for 15 years and
practicing veterinary medicine for
nearly that long, and felt you would
appreciate hearing of my personal
results with Flint River, as well as
those of some of my clients. I feel very
fortunate to have such an excellent line
of pet foods available for myself and my
clients, as I firmly believe it is the
first and most important part of a
preventive or restorative health
program.
Sincerely,
Debra J. Mack, DVM

SPECIAL INTEREST IN CHRONIC "INCURABLE"
DISEASES
2160 S. Winchester Blvd.
Campbell, CA 95008 408-378-5190
To everyone in the Flint River Ranch
family.
I have two Maine Coon mix cats who
were born at the clinic in 1979 and who
have lived there since then. They are a
brother and sister team and have the run
of the clinic. They both inherited the
ability to form excessive crystals in
their urine. The male would easily
become blocked except when fed
Prescription diet CD. For this reason
they were both fed CD which was designed
to prevent the formation of crystals by
limiting the minerals from which the
crystals form. This diet saved his life
and allowed him to live a normal life
for the 14 years that he and his sister
were on it.
During this time I was very concerned
about the lack of wholeness and quality
in the CD. The only animal protein in
the CD came from poultry by-product
meal, glandular meat and poultry digest
which is garbage and probably useless as
a wholesome food. Most must be
detoxified by the liver and then
eliminated from the body because it can
not be used by the body for
nourishment. If you go fishing and
clean the fish you catch, what you throw
away are the by-products. Would you eat
this stuff? If not, then don't feed it
to your best friends. The dry CD also
contains as preservatives BHA and
Ethoxyquin. Even the FDA won't allow the
use of this stuff in our food. We tried
dozens of different foods which appeared
to be good from the list of ingredients
on their labels. In every case the boy
would begin to block within two days
after having as little as a teaspoon of
the test food mixed with his CD. While
on the CD his sister developed a severe
case of miliary dermatitis with raw
scabs over her body. She could only be
keep under control with corticosteroids.
In May 1994 I received a phone call from
my friend John Limehouse who shares my
concern over the lack of wholesome pet
foods. John told me what Jim Flint was
doing and thought I would be interested
in the food he was making. The next day
Jim Flint called me and since that day I
have sold an awful lot of the Flint
River Ranch food. The clinic cats were
put on the food and taken off CD. The
boy has gone over a year without a hint
of the urinary crystal problem and his
sister's skin is without a blemish.
Both cats have been fed only the
Flint River Ranch cat food with the
exception of the girl who has on
occasion been given a teaspoon of
different canned food as "treats." These
treats were from specially chosen canned
foods that had a very good looking list
of ingredients on their label. These
included some of the Iams products that
looked very good. In every case she
started breaking out again within two
days. I can only conclude that someone
is lying about what is contained in
their canned food. I suspect that the
culprit is liver in some form because it
would contain all of the toxins that the
animal had accumulated during its
lifetime and had been stored in its
liver when it was slaughtered for food.
I specialize in treating the so called
"chronic incurable diseases" of Western
medicine and many of my patients are
considered to be dying when they come to
me. One of the first changes in their
life style is to have all of my patients
eating a wholesome, human quality food.
In order for a patient to be cured of
these "incurable" diseases they must
become healthy. Without a good wholesome
diet the rest of the therapy can not be
successful. I can not recommend any
other food other than the Flint River
Ranch food.

I'm so glad that I decided to become a
Flint River Ranch Distributor. Not only is
FRR an excellent food, I also feel we are
uniquely positioned to take maximum
advantage of the marketing opportunity here
in the Southeast. The market is virtually
untouched. I'm truly excited by the prospect
of bringing such a great product to the pet
food buying public.
As you know, I have been retailing FRR in my
clinic for several months now. I have had
only positive results. The food is so
palatable, I have yet to have any pet refuse
to eat it. The clients are seeing noticeable
improvement in their pets' skin, haircoat
and general level of vitality. I have a
three-year old Westie that suffers from
atopy and allergies in general. Her owner
commented just today that she has never seen
Maddie's hair look so good! I agree!
Another patient was in the clinic almost
every other month with chronic yeast or
Staph. When I saw him last week, his ears
were clean and healthy. The owner reports
no changes other than feeding Flint River! I
also have a couple of FUS cats now on FRR
instead of Feline C/D. So far so good!
Only a couple of years ago I was one of
the top retailers of Hills Science Diet in
the metro Atlanta area. I felt comfortable
feeding and recommending these products to
my clients. Now, however, I am seeing the
results of feeding a high quality ALL
NATURAL food. Those artificial ingredients
and preservatives truly do (directly or in
directly) cause a of host of problems. I'll
never again recommend any food that is not
totally natural.
Since the introduction of the Petsmart
stores in our area, I had sharply curtailed
the retail side of my business. Why try to
compete with the "big guys"? There was no
way to compete with their prices - they were
selling some Science Diet products for less
than I could purchase them wholesale! Now,
not only do I have a much superior product
to offer my clients, I can also offer
HOME-DELIVERY at no extra charge! Since
Flint River will never be sold at discount
prices at a pet superstore, I am developing
client loyalty that will last the life of
the pet, even if the owner moves out of my
area.
I'm excited about working with you to
bring Flint River Ranch Foods to a much
wider market. By sharing this product with
my clients, as well as other vets and pet
care providers, we are providing a means of
improving the overall health of pets in
general, as well as developing a substantial
income for ourselves! What a "Win-Win"
proposition!!!
I hope to see you soon! Feel free to call
me at any time if you have suggestions. Ann
Tift and I are working hard to get our
volume up so we can have a Flint River plant
here in Georgia in the next year or so!
