Ask Susan Peters - Flint River Ranch Healthy Dog Foods?

Flint River Ranch has done a poor job of making healthy dog foods. Healthy dog foods do not include needless grains and other pet health damaging ingredients.

Garlic and Grapes have been known to be toxic to cats and dogs.

Grain fermentation solubles are an inexpensive by-product of human food and beverage production which add little or no nutritional value to pet foods.

Fermentation Products - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Sugars are the common substrate of fermentation, and typical examples of fermentation products are ethanol, lactic acid, and hydrogen. However, more exotic compounds can be produced by fermentation, such as butyric acid and acetone. Yeast carries out fermentation in the production of ethanol in beers, wines and other alcoholic drinks, along with the production of large quantities of carbon dioxide.

Flint River Ranch did not use the grains outlined in this review but do have an over use of grains which are not yet know if the grains are toxic to dogs and cats.

Pet food producers are using ingredients unfit for human consumption which are killing our pets. The ingredients in pet food must be changed!

The use of Corn, Wheat, and Soy are causing such awful conditions in pets including:

• Dry and itchy skin
• Fever
• Ear aches
• Ear infections
• Hot Spots on the skin
• Bad breath
• Dental disease
• IBD
• Hair loss
• Sore feet
• Abnormal nail growth
• Bloat
• Weight gain
• Tumors
• Moles and warts
• Seizures
• Blindness
• Deafness
• Heart conditions
• Kidney conditions
• Liver conditions
• Early pet death

These companies need to be held accountable for the injuries to our pets and our best friends early deaths!

The use of so many fillers and fermentation products makes me feel the score of 9/10 on this "shopping list" 10 point review is far too good for this poor product. The Pet Food Danger Gauge would fail this product and call it Dangerous and Toxic To Pets. Shame on you Flint River!
