Nutrition is the basis of pet health. What we feed them in many ways determines how long they will live. Animals hold a special place in our lives. Proper care and feeding of them will keep them with us longer. Be an educated pet owner. Find out more about pet foods by watching the video, "Do You Really Know What's In Your Pet's Food?"
Featured Topic - Herbal Heartworm Program
After the vet said Bandit wouldn't live through the chemical heartworm treatment, his "mom" (Robin Sockness) chose to use a natural heartworm program in January 2000. He continues to test negative each year and Robin is now helping thousands of other pet owners with the Herbal Heartworm Program that works.
Heartworm Prevention Program also available.
Featured Product - Skin & Coat Formula
While a glossy, beautiful coat is a sign of your pet's overall health and well-being, skin and coat problems are one of the most frequent reasons pets see a veterinarian. Skin and Coat Formula is a unique formula that provides a source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids plus Vitamins A, D, and E which are beneficial for the maintenance of healthy skin and a glossy coat.
Here's what one of our customers emailed us: "About three weeks ago, I started my 12 year old lab, Molly Cashmere Rowlf, on Skin & Coat Formula according to the label recommendations. Her very dull and mottled looking coat got very shiny within the first week. Although she always shed horribly (you could pull clumps of fur off of her), during the second week shedding was minimal. The dry skin is gone since she no longer spends her day rubbing her back on rugs or scratching her skin. There is little, if any, flaking and her skin does not have the white dry appearance. I'm thinking any flaking is just old dead skin still coming off. She always had "doggie smell;" now she has no odor at all which is a great bonus! This is a wonderful product. I have it on autoship delivery so I'm sure not to run out. She likes the chewable tablet and has had no digestive issues from it. Rowlf's fur once again feels like cashmere thanks to the Skin and Coat Formula.
Featured Pet Tip - Homemade Doggie Flea & Mosquito Collar
A flea collar can be made by rubbing a few drops of one of the following into an ordinary webbing or rope collar or even a doggy bandana: Eucalyptus Essential Oil , Tea Tree Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil or Geranium Essential Oil. Don't forget to refresh weekly. This collar and the herbal Heartworm Prevention Program will give you a safer option for your dog to avoid heartworms.
Our Personal Favorite Pet Foods
Our pets love Flint River Ranch and Healthy Pet Net food, supplements and treats, so we alternate from one to the other to give them super nutritional variety. However, many of our customers choose one and stay with it. You'll know by reading below which one is best for you.
Flint River Ranch foods are concentrated for better digestibility, so you feed 20-40% less than other foods. High digestibility means lower feeding cost and less poop scooping! Because Flint River Ranch foods are all natural and formulated to help the animal's body heal itself, it starts a cleansing process. Bioavailable vitamins, chelated minerals and nutrients are first digested in the stomach - then absorbed into the blood through the intestinal walls. Pet owners tell us their pets health improves in so many ways when they get nutrition-packed, easy to digest foods.
Whole Dog Journal ranked Flint River Ranch Oven-Baked Puppy & Adult Food as one of the "Top 10 Dog Foods in the United States." Organic, free-range ingredients with no hormones, by-products, or chemical preservatives means a healthier pet and lower veterinary costs. Real food produces less poop to scoop too!
Flint River Ranch Cat and Kitten Food
Because this food is so different from the majority of pet foods on the market, it is recommended that you introduce it to your pets slowly, especially for cats. Over the course of about 7 to 10 days, add a little Flint River Ranch to your pet's regular food, each day increasing the amount of Flint River Ranch and decreasing the amount of the other food until you've switched the food completely.
For this reason, Flint River Ranch encourages that any diet change to an all-natural food be made over a period of time to allow the cleansing process to take place slowly. This is very important, as any abrupt diet change will upset a cat's stomach and often cause diarrhea. A gradual change is an ideal way to introduce your cat to Flint River Ranch and achieve optimal results.
