What is the shelf life?
Five months when food is stored in the original bag, rolled closed, and in a cool place.
Why is my dog's stool soft with this food?
Flint River Ranch food is very rich and contains very little useless filler. Because of this, some pets may have a softer stool during their change to Flint River Ranch. This food actually cleans mucuous from your pet's digestive tract rather than just sliding through the system. In time your pets will have firmer and much smaller stool for easy clean-up.
Why is this food so expensive?
It
isn't! You will probably realize a savings on this food, with fewer vet bills. You will feed up to 25% less of this than other brands because it is so concentrated. You won't be wasting money on non-digestible fillers like peanut hulls and sawdust. Of course, fresh, organic chicken and range fed lamb costs more than road kill and diseased slaughterhouse animals (which find their way into most commercial pet foods). Nor will you be paying for water (which makes up about 75% of most CANNED pet foods). And you won't have to waste time and gas running to the store to buy it. (It comes to you, with NO SHIPPING CHARGES!)
My dog's a finicky eater. What if he doesn't like it?
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you don't like the food, send it back in its original bag within 30 days for a refund less 15% for original shipping. However, one of the unique properties of this food is its palatability. The most fussy eaters have been known to "wolf" down this food. Some customers say it is the canine equivalent to catnip!
What's the best way to introduce FLINT RIVER RANCH to my dog's diet?
We recommend you mix it for a week or two with whatever dog food you are currently feeding. This will allow a more gradual adjustment to the richer, nutritionally superior FLINT RIVER RANCH. Expect softer stool during this adjustment period. This is perfectly natural and healthy.
Why isn't this food sold in big stores?
Mass marketing requires aggressive national advertising, which is very expensive. The FLINT RIVER RANCH company capitalizes on the marketing skills of its independent distributors. By letting the distributors market the product their own way, the company saves money on national advertising. This savings can be passed on to the consumers in the form of a higher quality food at an affordable price. Also, most commercial dog foods contain harsh chemical preservatives so they can sit on a store shelf or in a warehouse for months on end. FLINT RIVER RANCH contains no chemical preservatives. It's made in small batches several times a week and shipped fresh to the customer or distributor.
Is there sales tax on the products?
Yes. When you order direct from Flint River Ranch you will be charged the sales tax for your state. If your state does not charge sales tax there will be no tax. Flint River Ranch only charges the sales tax due in each state.
How is the food packaged for shipping?
The largest bags are 20 pounds. When you buy 40 pounds, you get two 20-pound bags, securely packed in a sturdy cardboard box.
Can I set up automatic shipments?
Yes! Call or contact us, and we can schedule deliveries at whatever interval you desire, and in whatever amount you want to order. There are NO extra charges for this service and NO added charges for shipping!
