FELINE FEEDING:

Cats are finicky eaters.  Our tests show that besides flavor and aroma, texture and shape are very important in determining cat food palatability.  Cats first smell their food; if it passes this test, shape then becomes important because it determines the way it feels and breaks apart in the cat's mouth.  Fresh water should be available at all times as your cat will drink more water when fed dry food

Young kittens may be started on Flint River Ranch by mixing with a little warm water.  Feed food dry as soon as the kittens teeth are strong enough to chew hard food (8 to 10 weeks).  Feed kittens about 3 times a day - after 6 months twice a day.

Adult cats (1 year) can be fed once or twice a day: whatever keeps your cat happy.  Your cat should be looking for food when the next meal is due.  Teach them to eat at meal times.  The amount your cat eats in 15-20 minutes is about the amount they should be fed at that meal.  Adjust the food as you notice increase or decrease in the animal's weight.

TAURINE and Feline Urological Syndrome (FUS)

ESSENTIAL TAURINE: The high quality Chicken Meal provides Taurine, an essential amino acid for cats, at much higher levels than the poultry by-products used in most cat foods.  It is important for eyes, heart, nervous and reproductive systems.

FELINE UROLOGICAL SYNDROME: There is little doubt that FUS is directly related to the cat's stress, life style and diet.  Low Ash and Magnesium are important in the prevent of FUS.  FLINT RIVER RANCH Feline formula has less than 4.5% ash content and 0.08% Magnesium.  This promotes low urinary pH and helps prevent FUS.

ADULT CAT LITE

The Flint River Ranch Cat and Kitten formula is
nutritionally complete and balanced for older and less active cats -
Taurine levels are according to AAFCO Nutrient Profiles for Feline Food.

HIGHEST DIGESTIBILITY
MOST USABLE ENERGY
LESS COST TO FEED

The needs of older or less active adult cats change as they age.  A reduced activity level and slower metabolism may require fewer calories or less fat.   Flint River Ranch's Lite Adult Cat food is a complete and balanced formula to meet these special needs.

Beet pulp is by far the best source of fiber.  It does a better job of moving the nutrients through the digestive system and acts as a calming base for forming the stool in the colon.  Vitamins, minerals and nutrients are first digested in the stomach - then absorbed into the blood through the intestinal walls.  If those walls are covered with slime/mucus - absorption of these life-sustaining nutrients is reduced.  Beet pulp gently massages intestinal walls, removing excess mucus and aiding in bowel movement.

Our Chicken Meal and other meat sources do not contain poultry by-products or other by-products like chicken feet, chicken heads, duck beaks, feathers, hides, hoofs and intestines.  The use of low quality products and chemical preservatives may be associated with dry skin, allergic reactions, dental disease, poor health and degenerative organ dysfunction.
