One of the most important things you can do for your pet is the same thing that keeps you healthy and that is feeding a diet made with nutritious wholesome food.

Feeding a "pet grade food" made with ingredients "NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION" is not the way to keep your pet healthy. And, that is exactly what you are doing when you feed a low quality commercial pet food. Everything that is not fit for human consumption is used as ingredients in many of these pet foods.

Most people don't realize that "rendering plants" are where many of the waste products that our society must dispose of eventually wind up. And, these waste products are "rendered" down into the protein that is used in commercial pet foods. This rendered by-product contains cancerous and rotten carcasses, diseased animals, and even sometimes road kill. These are often referred to as the four "D's", Dead, Diseased, Dying and Disabled animals. You can read about this in the article from the Animal Protection Institute, "The Truth About Commercial Pet Food".

Even euthanized animals are used in many pet foods. Phentobarbital, the poison used in euthanizing animals has been found in samples of commercial pet foods. You can read that article "Pentobarbitol" - Chemical Used to Euthanize Animals in Dog Food"

If all that isn't bad enough, these same companies use artificial colors, flavors, preservatives such as BHA, BHT and Ethoxiquin a preservative know to cause cancer in humans.

Flint River Ranch pet foods contain all natural ingredients. No by-products, artificial colors or chemical preservatives. The ingredients used in Flint River Ranch pet food are "human grade" and Flint River Ranch is made in a USDA facility where "ingredients not fit for human consumption" are not allowed.

Flint River Ranch Super Premim Dog Foods are slowly twice oven-baked at low temperatures, resulting in better nutrition, palatability and digestibility.

The Flint River Ranch oven baked process changes hard to digest starches into easy to digest dextrins, which are readily absorbed into your dog's system. The secret to Flint River Ranch's great nutrition is how many nutrients are present in the pet food and how efficiently they are utilized when digested. Flint River Ranch food 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 dextrines. 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. The oven-baking process is also what makes Flint River Ranch taste and smell so good! It's the difference between steaming and roasting. We all know how much better a slow cooked oven roasted piece of meat is compared to a piece of meat that is steamed! That is why Flint River Ranch says the "THE NATURAL TASTE IS BAKED IN...NOT SPRAYED ON"!

Whole Dog Journal has chosen Flint River Ranch Dog Food as one of the Top 10 Quality Dry Dog Foods for five years in a row.

Excerpts from the Whole Dog Journal Review:

"Flint River Ranch is probably one of the best-known healthy dry dog foods available. Flint River Ranch’s formulation of quality ingredients is not unique among premium foods, but its cooking method is different."

"The company oven-bakes the food, rather than using the traditional 'steam extrusion' technique. This form of cooking 'changes the hard to digest raw starches into easy to digest dextrines' - resulting in less strain on the dog’s digestive system and producing a greater degree of food absorption."
