Flint River Ranch – Main Ingredients

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Flint River Ranch provides a variety of natural dog food and natural cat food.  Their quality natural ingredients help to ensure your dog or cat lives a long and healthy life. 

 
Flint River Ranch Main Ingredients

 

Meats – Their mix of proteins and amino acids are the foundation for your pet’s body and immune system.  They use meat meal, which is where excess water is removed from ground meat.  The meats they use are muscle and skin flesh only, and are considered to be “human-quality.”

 

Chicken – Their chicken is bought from American sources and are hormone and antibiotic free. 

 

Lamb – Their lamb is imported from New Zealand as is easier to digest.

 

Fish – Flint River Ranch gets most of their fish from the ocean.  There are some fish that are farm raised, but the Bonita and Menhaden is from the ocean.

 

Grains – The grains come from American suppliers.  They are free of natural toxins and molds, according to the testing and certifications done to ensure this.

 

Wheat – They use selected parts of the wheat berry as the base grain.  

 

Corn – Corn is not used in the dog’s food, as dog’s have a hard time digesting it.  However, it is a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, and energy for cats.  The trick is to prepare it properly.  Flint River Ranch uses a pre-digestive process, where they can give your cat the benefits without affecting your cat’s digestive system.

 

Rice – They use white and brown rice. 

 

Vitamins and Minerals – Their products are naturally preserved.

 

Flint River Ranch is an excellent food for your pet, and has amazing health benefits. 

 

Pet Food Café is here to help you raise a healthy and happy pet so you can enjoy life together for a very long time.  Our all natural pet food, all natural pet supplies, and training tips will ensure your dog or cat has the best life possible.

Be Careful When Choosing a Commercial Weight Loss Pet Food

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

According to a study by the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, commercial weight loss pet food may actually contain more calories than you expect.  In fact, in a study of 100 commercial weight management pet foods, more than half of the food that was evaluated exceeded the maximum kilocalorie per kilogram restriction. 

 

Foods that say they are light, lite, or low-calorie must provide the calorie content on the labels.  Pet foods that do not have this designation are allowed to include the information, but they are not required. 

 

Another issue found in this Jan. 2010 study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association was the high variability in feeding recommendations for weight loss.   In the study, with the feeding recommendations on the labels, pets could not lose weight and some could actually gain weight. 

Choosing an all natural diet for your pet is the best route to go.  All natural pet foods do not contain preservatives or chemicals that can harm your pet.   A reputable all natural pet food, such as Life’s Abundance or Flint River Ranch, will be honest with its label information, and will ensure your pet is receiving the best all natural pet food available for weight loss.

 

Pet Food Café is here to help you raise a healthy and happy pet so you can enjoy life together for a very long time.  Our all natural pet food, all natural pet supplies, and training tips will ensure your dog or cat has the best life possible.

How Can you Afford NOT to Feed your Pet All Natural?

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Your pet deserves the best life possible.  While feeding your pet all natural pet food may seem to be outrageously expensive initially, it is important to understand that in the long run, feeding your pet all natural pet food can actually save you money. 

 
You may be wondering how that could be possible when it costs so much for a bag of all natural pet food.  Let’s take a more in depth look.  When you feed your pet healthy pet food, you will feed him almost 20% to 40% less than a store brand pet food.  How is this possible?  It is simple.  All natural healthy pet food is not made up of fillers and by-products.  Therefore, your pet will become fuller and stay fuller longer with less food. 

 

Another savings is the fact that feeding your pet all natural healthy pet food will likely lower the amount of vet visits.  Allergies are the #1 reason for vet visits.  Commercial brand pet foods have chemicals and preservatives that many pets are allergic to.  These same ingredients can lead to very serious health issues, including death.

 

Your pet deserves the best.  Imagine if your pet could be with you years longer just because of the food you feed him?  Remember, it all evens out in the end as far as money, but his life expectancy will not even out.  The facts are when you feed your pet a healthy food, you could be extending the years he has to spend with you. How can you afford NOT to feed him an all natural healthy diet?

 
Pet Food Café is here to help you raise a healthy and happy pet so you can enjoy life together for a very long time.  Our all natural pet food, all natural pet supplies, and training tips will ensure your dog or cat has the best life possible.

Be Aware of What you are Feeding your Cat

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

There are many cat lovers out there who feed their cat the “more expensive” commercial cat food thinking they are doing something good for their cat.  Sadly, not many people are aware that many of the commercial brand cat food, as well as dog food contain ingredients that are not only unhealthy, but can be harmful to their overall health.

 

Your cat eats the same food day in and day out.  Other than treats, the cat food you give him will be what he eats.  Make what you do feed your cat healthy full of vitamins and minerals without artificial flavors, colors, sugars, wheat, gluten, corn, by-products, or chemical preservatives, which are what can be found in your commercial brand cat food, including the more expensive kind. 

 

Find an all natural cat food that has high quality meat proteins that are not by-products, such as the remains of meat that are not meant for human consumption.  This would include bones, intestines, heads, tendons, ligaments, feet, etc.  Your cat is not getting the full benefits of protein when this is all she is getting. 

 

Avoid the effects commercial brand cat food can have on your cat’s health.  Avoid allergies caused by these ingredients, as well as the harmful effects of chemical preservatives.  Ensure your cat will live a long and full life by finding an all natural cat food from a trusted source, such as Life’s Abundance or Flint River Ranch.  These are just two of many all natural cat food manufacturers. 

 

Your furry friend deserves to live a healthy and happy life free of the diseases caused by not eating all natural cat food.  Show your cat some love by knowing what is in the cat food you serve her.

 

Pet Food Café is here to help you raise a healthy and happy pet so you can enjoy life together for a very long time.  Our all natural pet food, all natural pet supplies, and training tips will ensure your dog or cat has the best life possible.  
 

 

It is not too late!   Decide today to “make the switch” to all natural dog food or all natural cat food.  Your pet deserves the best and Pet Food Café provides the best!
