WHAT MAKES FLINT RIVER RANCH NATURAL DOG FOOD AND CAT FOOD UNIQUE?
-
FLINT RIVER RANCH natural dog food and natural cat food is made with the highest quality chicken, lamb, and grains available. Our food contains only human-grade ingredients. To learn the difference between pet grade and human-grade pet food please see "INGREDIENTS".
-
OUR FOOD IS TWICE OVEN-BAKED. Our all-natural formulas are 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 dextrines resulting in better nutrition, palatability, and digestibility. Our most recent test shows a 95.15% cook digestibility. Manufacturing is monitored every ten minutes for quality control and made at our plant in California. Our food is baked three times per week and shipped directly to you for maximum freshness.
-
ECONOMICAL. Because our food is concentrated it costs less to feed than commercial brands. Natural brands may seem higher in price at first glance...but look again. Natural foods are nutrient dense and are actually cheaper per serving than brands with less nutrition. You will feed 20% less than commercial pet foods. As cats are true carnivores, the natural cat food is higher in price than commercial foods because there is more pure meat protein in our foods. An "economical" brand won't supply the protein your cat requires. See "FEEDING" for a dog food comparison between our food and commercial brands.

FLINT RIVER RANCH is a private company dedicated to providing the best available canine and feline health food. The very best industry nutritionists, consultants, manufacturers, suppliers, veterinary talents and experiences were utilized in identifying the quality ingredients and manufacturing processes. This combination was used to carefully formulate the finest products available that would sincerely contribute to the health and quality lifestyle of our family companions.
NOT ALL NATURAL PET FOODS ARE CREATED EQUALLY!
Because of the increased demand for natural pet foods, several commercial pet food companies have now begun producing "natural" foods.
Dog food ingredients and cat food ingredients are listed in order of their volume percentages. For example, two new dog food formulas on the market by Science Diet are touted as natural Beef and Chicken. In reality, brewer's rice - a waste product of the alcohol industry - is their primary ingredient. Beef and Chicken are listed as the 7th ingredients respectively. Four out of the first seven ingredients are brewer's rice, ground wheat, corn gluten meal, and soybean meal.
Their cat formulas don't fare any better. Ocean Fish and Chicken are listed as the 6th ingredients respectively. Again, brewer's rice is their primary ingredient. Cats are true carnivores and require meat protein. An "economical" brand won't deliver the protein that your cat requires. For further information on how to read a pet food label, visit the "Pet Food Comparison" page.
Be an educated consumer. Read the label on your pet's current food and compare to Flint River Ranch. Ask the manufacturer if they use pet-grade or human-grade food.
Since 1993 FLINT RIVER RANCH has been dedicated to providing the finest canine and feline health food and will not compromise its quality by providing inferior ingredients.
The goal of FLINT RIVER RANCH is to achieve the ultimate in premium, all-natural, balanced nutritional formulas for your pet's gourmet dining. Our healthy formulas are fixed once developed. Therefore, pet professionals can reliably use our products to test animals for food intolerances.
Open a FLINT RIVER RANCH bag. You will see our quality. You can smell the fresh-baked goodness. FLINT RIVER RANCH...health food for your best friend!
A message from Flint River Ranch regarding pet food recall.
Dear FRR Customers & Distributors:
I know that the news of yet another pet food recall and the scale of this recall is disconcerting to us all. No one likes to see this kind of thing happen, not even to a competitor. We are all aware that somewhere down in this story…families have lost their beloved pets. It saddens us to think of their unexpected & shocking loss of a pet, friend, companion…just by feeding these tainted products.
I wanted everyone to be aware of the following:
Flint River Ranch does not buy from the supplier of the suspect ingredient(s) in Canada. We don't buy from anyone in Canada and, as of yet, do not provide canned or pouched wet products, so this doesn't affect us.
One of the reasons that we have never had and probably will never have a problem like this is that we don't buy from small, independent suppliers, jumping around to get the best price. Every ingredient is tested before we use it and buying from major producers means that we get a better, safer product.
Additionally, all of our formulas are tested every 15 minutes for standards as cooked and samples kept for 6 months. All ingredients used are bought from known producers with many years of a strong relationship between us. Chicken and grains from nationally known human-food producers equals human-grade rating and USDA protocol testing of those ingredients that we buy. Some manufacturers may like to shop around and go for the best pricing...sometimes that will land you in trouble. Better to stay assured on the quality and vitality of ingredients that you're consistently using.
It is our bond and pledge to our customers that Flint River Ranch will produce the finest quality of canine & feline products we can, for you to provide to your beloved pets. Our professional associations are only with companies who produce or provide products at the same level as we do.
Thank you for your support and concern on this issue and for being a part of the Flint River Ranch family!

Letter from Flint River Ranch to FRR distributors

Dear Flint River Ranch Distributors,
We appreciate everyone's concern about the current recall and its unsettling recent expansion to include some dry foods beyond the canned formulas initially recalled. I know that you are all receiving inquiries from your customers and have questions of your own.
Flint River Ranch would like to reaffirm that all of our formulas and ingredients are safe. We purchase all of our ingredients from major US suppliers and our ingredients are subjected to USDA testing. Our lamb is from free-range ranches located in New Zealand.
Flint River Ranch foods do NOT contain wheat gluten. Wheat is used in some formulas; however, that wheat is acquired from a USDA-certified provider. The wheat used in FRR formulas is safe, does not come from China, and is always tested and certified.
Despite what various reports you read or see on TV may indicate, wheat - and wheat gluten - is truly NOT the source of the problem. The presence of a chemical(s) within a specific batch of wheat gluten from one Chinese company used by the Menu company is the issue. This is not to trivialize the problem, but to clarify the issue and assure you that this recall does not involve Flint River Ranch products or any ingredients.
Some imported wheat gluten from China is being recalled by ChemNutra, Inc. as a result of recent questions and findings surrounding this recall. From what we can find, only a particular lot from one of three Chinese suppliers of wheat gluten to ChemNutra is suspect. Please go to www.fda.gov for more information about the recall of imported wheat gluten from China. | |

As always, Flint River Ranch follows and exceeds guidelines as set forth by AAFCO - American Association of Feed Control Officials. Flint River Ranch foods are made using our own fixed formulas under our direction in Southern California. We do not "piggy-back" onto lines of mass-produced foods.
Let your customers know that if they are still concerned about wheat in their pet's diet despite this information and would like to feed a wheat-free food, Flint River Ranch offers two excellent formulas that are 100% wheat-free. Lamb Meal, Millet & Rice (code LMR) and "Fish N' Chips" - Trout and Sweet Potato (code FNC) both offer fully balanced nutrition for dogs, and are available in 10 and 20 pound bags. I have fed my dogs our Fish N' Chips formula for many years now and continue to be impressed with their health, energy, and appearance.
As I find out more information, I will be sure to pass it on. I know that this is a trying time for us all, but I want you to be assured that Flint River Ranch is properly staged to handle the additional demands on our system with minimal challenges. Our use of company and logistical warehouses enables us to spread the demand when necessary and ship product as needed. We have already increased our production in the plant to reflect this increase in demand and I am hiring even more CSR's to assist in our daily orders.
I am not thrilled with the reasoning behind this surge of interest in FRR, but I am very happy to report that many customers are reinvigorated about Flint River Ranch, our formulas, and message of all-natural pet foods. I encourage you to stay as focused on the details of this issue and how FRR can help your current and new customer base...accurate information without hype will greatly assist to calm peoples fears of any problems with FRR products. I welcome your comments and suggestions. Thank you for your support!
