Flint River Ranch's chicken meal and
other meat sources do not include meat by-products such as
chicken feet, chicken heads, duck heads, beaks, feathers, fish
heads, hides, hoofs and intestines. There are no food by-products
such as corn, cottonseed, corn cobs, citrus pulp, soy beans,
fillers, and no other foreign materials such as noxious weeds,
straw, hulls or chaff in our product.
Nutrition Enhances Health & Longevity
There is ample scientific evidence that proper
nutrition and correct eating habits can enhance health, performance
and longevity. We are starting to understand that the over-processing
and chemical additives which add color and texture can destroy
much of the nutritional value of both people food and pet food.
Today, the choice of a nutritionally superior food for pets
should be based on an informed understanding and appreciation
of ingredient quality and product formulation.
The Chicken and Lamb Meal formula is manufactured
under carefully controlled conditions and temperatures - resulting
in better nutrition, palatability and digestibility for your
pet. The secret to good nutrition is not how many nutrients
are present in a cat's food, but rather, how available they
are and how efficiently they can he utilizcd when digested.
High digestibility means your pet requires less food and produces
smaller, firmer stools and less clean-up.
HIGHER DIGESTIBILITY
MORE USABLE ENERGY
LESS COST TO FEED
|
RIGHT A WAY YOU'LL NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE!
Protein
The amino acids provided by the Chicken and Lamb Meal are
the basic building blocks of muscle, skin, coat, bone, blood
and the immune system. The most important ingredient in a cat's
diet is protein. We guarantee protein analysis of not less
than 32%.
Essential Taurine
The high quality Chicken Meal provides Taurine, an essential
amino acid for cats, at much higher levels than the poultry
by-products used in most cat foods. It is important for eyes,
heart, nervous and reproductive systems.
Fats
The human grade fat source has no ethoxyquin. It is naturally
preserved with Vitamin E. Fats provide energy and include essentials
for cell structure, hormones, enzymes and fat soluble vitamins. Flint
River Ranch guarantees not less than 20% crude fat.
Beet Pulp
By far, the best source of fiber. It does a better job of moving
the nutrients through the digestive systems and acts as a calming
base for forming the stool in the colon. Vitamins, minerals
and nutrients are first digested in the stomach - then absorbed
into the blood through the intestinal walls. If those walls
are covered with slime/mucus - absorption of these life-sustaining
nutrients is reduced. Beet pulp gently massages intestinal
walls, removing the mucus and aids in the bowel movement.
Feline Urological Syndrome (FUS)
According to Flint River Ranch research,
a history of feeding poor quality food over a long period of
time increases the chances of bladder problems such as FUS
(feline urological syndrome) caused by the accumulation of
fine crystals within the bladder and urethra, based on struvite,
which is a crystalline compound of magnesium. These crystals
are formed over months or even years. FUS is more common in
overweight, neutered cats, and many veterinarians believe diet
plays a major role in causing it.
Recent findings show that while ash was responsible
for urinary tract trouble, high levels of magnsium tends to
encourage the production of alkaline urine. Given the above, Flint
River Ranch believes that low levels of ash and magnesium
are important in the prevention of FUS and, as a result, their
cat foods are formulated to contain less than 5.5% ash content
and 0.095% of magnesium. This promotes low urinary pH and helps
prevent FUS. The company monitors a group of 45 cats of various
ages and breeds who have been eating Flint River Ranch for
the last three years, and they report no signs of any problems
developing.

Feeding Guide
Cats are finicky eaters. Our tests show that besides
flavor and aroma, texture and shape are very important in determining
cat food palatability. Cats first smell their food; if it passes
this test, shape then becomes important because it determines
the way it feels and breaks apart in the cat's mouth.
The price of cat food, like other products, most
often depends on the grade and quality. Flint River Ranch cat
food will actually he cheaper to feed than other foods costing
less, You will be able to see the difference in your cat's healthy
skin, coat and energy level. Healthy nutrition can also mean
less medical bills. We believe your cat deserves the best possible
food and health.
Young kittens may be started on Flint River
Ranch by mixing with a little warm water. Feed food dry
as soon as the kittens' teeth are strong enough to chew hard
food (8-10 weeks). Feed kittens about 3 times a day; after
6 months twice a day.
Adult cats (one year or older) can be fed once
or twice a day. This depends upon what keeps your cat happy.
Your cat should be looking for food when the next meal is due.
Teach them to eat at meal times. The amount your cat eats in
15-20 minutes is about the amount they should be fed at that
meal. Adjust the food as you notice increase or decrease in the
animal's weight.
Fresh water should be available at all times as
your cat will drink more water when fed dry food.
