OVEN-BAKED KIBBLE:  FRESH FROM THE OVEN TO YOUR DOOR!

Flint River Ranch Super Premium All-Natural Formula 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 dextrins. 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. A dog's intestinal tract is short; it functions in the most efficient manner when the food is concerated and can be quickly digested. The important vitamins, minerals and food ingredients can then be easily assimilated into the dog's digestive system.

EXTRUSION vs QUALITY OVEN-BAKING:

Most companies prepare pet food by steaming it as quickly as possible, usually less than 3 minutes, then extruding it under extream pressure through a metal die ( steam extrusion process ) . This process expands the food with air creating a uniform shape. This method does not produce the highly digestible food that the baking process creates. This extruded food ( cooked in a very short time ) is usually almost "raw" and requires the addition of what many nutritionists feel are harmful chemical preservatives ( Ethoxyquin, BHA, and BHT ) to maintain a reasonable product shelf-life. These chemical products may be associated with dry skin, allergic reactions, dental disease, poor health and degenerative organ dysfunction.

OVEN-BAKING PROCESS:

In the oven-baking process, a small 2inch size biscuit is baked - moves slowly  through the oven - then is broken into smaller, irregular kibble ranging in size from tiny morsels to about 1/2 inch. The smaller morsels are important; they will digest very quickly in the dog's system helping create immediate nutritional value for your pet. The larger, crunchy kibble naturally cleans teeth, exercises the gums and freshens breath. Since the food is concerated, there is more value with less food consumed. Feeding our oven-baked foods will require 20-25% less food than steam-extruded foods. Pet owners will find less odor and stool clean-up. By feeding Flint River Ranch quality products, you will be able to see the difference in your pet's health, skin,coat, energy level and quality life-style.
