Flint River Ranch Ingredients |
Flint River Ranch uses quality
natural ingredients to provide for your
pet’s well-being by helping it to
synergistically heal itself through healthy,
holistic nutrition.
MEATS
The mix of proteins and amino acids found in
our formulas are the basic building blocks
of your pet’s body and its immune system.
We also believe that by providing a variety
of healthy meat proteins in each formula,
Flint River Ranch is more successful at
meeting the overall nutritional needs of
your pet compared to those who rely on
single source proteins. Flint River Ranch
uses “meat meal” which is meat ground to
remove excess water for easy assimilation
into our formulas “cook.” All meat is
muscle and skin flesh only, with little or
no bone attached from processing. Our meats
can be considered human-quality, similar in
ranking to store-brand meats you would buy
for your own family.
CHICKEN
Our Chicken meat is purchased from American
sources and are certified hormone and
antibiotic free. Chicken not only provides
healthy amino acids to promote strong bones
and muscles, but it’s one of the best
sources of protein to help maintain your
active pets’ energy level, along with
calcium for strong teeth and healthy vision.
LAMB
Lamb is free-range fed and imported from New
Zealand. Lamb is also one of the easiest
meat proteins for your pets to digest;
making our Ultra Premium Lamb Meal, Millet,
and Rice Formula a great choice for a high
value nutritional meal.
FISH
Fish is generally a combination of ocean
white fish (herring, trout, and menhaden).
Some of our fish is farm raised, but our
Bonita and Menhaden is caught directly from
the clear blue oceans. Fish is a great
source of Vitamin D & A and healthy Omega 3.
These healthy vitamins and essential fats
promote a strong immune system, healthy
skin, and shiny coat, and assist in
regulating calcium to promote good health
and healing
SOURCE OF GRAINS
Grains are purchased from American
commercial suppliers. They come to us tested
and certified-free of natural toxins and
molds. This testing & certification process
insures the very best quality for our
formulas. We believe that a combination of
grains; like a combination of proteins, will
provide your pets with a wide variety of
helpful vitamins and minerals to maintain
their overall good health and nutrition.
FLAX
Flax is recognized for its potential in
reducing the risk of some chronic diseases;
it helps improve thickness and sheen of hair
coat; it provides a great benefit to
oven-baked food as it resists oxidation from
the baking process and improves product
shelf life. The different proteins in flax
provide a high proportion base of
unsaturated essential fatty acids and
dietary fiber.
WHEAT
Whole wheat and selected parts of the wheat
berry are used in some of our formulas as
the base grain. The whole grain is ground
into two sizes: a fine ground whole-wheat
flour as a binder and a course ground
whole-wheat flour for texture. Wheat grains
are not only more digestible than corn; it
is one of the most nutritionally balanced
grains. It is also an easy-to-digest source
of carbohydrate; and it adds fiber and
energy to your pet’s diet.
RICE
Flint River Ranch uses a combination of
White and Brown Rice. White rice is used to
ease digestion and Brown rice is added for
its nutritional, fiber and healing values.
This combination helps to enhance the immune
system of your pets with continual feedings.
CORN
Although, we feel that corn is a good grain
it is not easily digested in a dog’s system.
Therefore, we do not use corn when preparing
our many dog recipes. However, corn is a
good nutritionally balanced grain and an
easy source of carbohydrates, fiber, and
energy for cats if prepared properly. Using
our unique pre-digestive process, we can
provide the proper nutrition to your cat
locked in this grain without adding strain
on your cat’s digestive system.
VITAMINS & MINERALS
Our vitamins and minerals work with your
pet’s system in many different ways. They
help to reduce stress, formulate collagen,
speed healing, and aid in digestion. They
are essential for your pet’s growth and all
around good health. Our chelated minerals
are bonded to amino acids. This is highly
effective in providing metabolic absorption
in your pet’s digestive system. Our products
are naturally preserved with a combination
of mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E) and
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).
ADDITIONALLY, OUR FOOD IS NUTRIENT
DENSE
SO YOU CAN FEED LESS FOR ADDED VALUE!
Since our canine formulas are
concentrated and nutrient dense; there is
more value with less food consumed. Feeding
oven-baked foods require 20-25% less food
than steam-extruded foods. Pet owners will
find fewer odors and less stool clean up.
When feeding Flint River Ranch products, you
will be able to see the difference in your
pet’s health, skin, coat, energy level, and
quality life-style.
