Feeding & Storage:

When you buy dog food, you're looking for nutrition.  Studies have shown that dogs were required to eat 3 to 4 times as much of an economy brand than a premium food to provide proper nutrition.  Flint River Ranch dog food is cheaper to feed than other foods costing less per pound. There are 80 cups in a 20 lb. bag at a cost of 25 cents per cup.  Daily feeding of 2 to 2.5 cups is 50 to 63 cents.  Compare to a daily cost of 70 to 90 cents in feeding 3.5 to 5 cups of a food costing 18 to 20 cents per cup.  You will be able to see the difference in your dog's healthy skin, coat and energy level.  Healthy nutrition can also mean less medical bills.  We believe your dog deserves the best possible food and health.

Flint River Ranch uses oven-baking to change hard to digest starches into east to digest dextrins, which are readily absorbed into your dog's system.  The secret to good nutrition is not how many nutrients are present in a dog's food, but rather, how available they are and how efficiently they can be utilized when digested.  The good value is baked-in, not sprayed on.
Because Flint River Ranch foods are high density, you feed 20% - 25% less than other foods.  Each serving delivers maximum nutrition without fillers, so you'll also notice a lower stool volume and less clean-up.

Feeding Guide

Feed your dog once to twice a day.  Have plenty of fresh water available.  Food requirements vary depending on climate, breed of dog and exercise activity.  Following are suggested amounts.  Feed an amount that will maintain your dog's weight.

Weight Suggested per Day
10-15 lbs. 0.6 to 1 Cup
20-30 lbs. 1.0 to 1.5 Cups
40-50 lbs. 2.0 to 2.2 Cups
60-70 lbs. 2.5 to 3.2 Cups
80-90 lbs. 3.5 to 4.2 Cups
100 lbs. 4.0 to 5.0 Cups

It is better to introduce Super Premium foods by mixing with your dog's usual food and increasing the amount of Flint River Ranch over several days.  It will take time for your dog to adjust to the Super Premium quality.  A sudden change in any food source may be a shock to your dog's digestive system.  You may notice loose stools.  If so, reduce the amount being fed until your dog adjusts.

Storage

Flint River Ranch does not recommend storing the food in an airtight container. It is recommended to store pet food in smaller canisters.  By using small containers, you will ensure that no old food remains in the bottom, when you add new food. Flint River Ranch has no chemical preservatives, so it has a 6-month shelf life. Because of this, it is very important to not mix old and new food. Another important factor is where you store the food. It is best to keep the food in a cool, dry place.
