Flint River Ranch!

[Kfamr]

There really isn't a "best" food IMO - but many people will beg to differ that the food THEY buy or prepare for their dog's IS best. I think if your dog is doing okay on it and that's all you can afford, then it is what's best.

FRR's first ingrediant is lamb meal which could me anything but more than likely it is tissues, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, stomach and other "by-products." It is a step from "Dog Chow", certainly. I'll be using the sample I requested for training.

You'll find that Roxy and Lily will probably like most different foods that are put in front of them.. my 3 are the same way. Sometimes when I was feeding them 100% Nutro, they'd skip a meal or two. Something you may like to try is to get several different samples, or maybe even a small bag of a higher-quality food and do 3/4th of Dog Chow, 1/4th of the other food. Even now with me feeding them 3/4th TimberWolf (www.timberwolforganics.com) and 1/4th Nutro NC, I get samples of Eagle Pack, Merrick, Solid Gold, etc.. and mix tiny bit in with each meal. I'm lucky because our natural pet food store is more than happy for us to take samples.. they have bins full just for that purpose!

Okay! Well, Roxy loved the FRR, but...there may be something better, and a bit more affordable at the store tomorrow. I hope they have samples, too . Thanks for all the info everybody!

My dogs loved Flint River Ranch food, but you do have to buy it online, or call their toll free number. I stopped it because it got very expensive with 4 big dogs and my girls were getting fat!

I would gladly buy it again, though, if there were some extra $$$ to spend.

Lamb Meal is actually better than whole Lamb, because "Meal" is whole Lamb minus the moisture... while just Lamb will contain a lot of moisture and less of the actual meat. I think "Lamb By-Product" would be much more sketchy.

Actually, like bckrazy said, Lamb meal is good. Flint river ranch only uses human grade ingredients. Had it said either "lamb by-products" or "lamb by-product meal" then the ingredients are likely to be tissue, hair, hooves, etc.
