What is the Main Difference in How Flint River Ranch Dog Food is Prepared Compared to Most of the Other Popular Commercials Foods?
Most companies prepare their food by steaming it as quickly as possible, usually less than 3 minutes, then extruding it under extreme pressure through a metal die (a steam extrusion process). This process expands the food with air creating a uniform shape. This method does not produce the highly digestible food that your dogs’ system requires. 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. Low quality fillers (found in most commercial pet foods) like wood fiber, corncobs, peanut hulls, cottonseed, straw, soybeans or citrus pulp are NOT found in Flint River Ranch products.
