As you have likely noticed, prices continue to creep up across the board, particularly for food items. The cost of high-quality ingredients, along with increases with fuel surcharges, cardboard and the continued rise in shipping costs, have resulted in higher prices for many of the household items and foods we consume.

Flint River Ranch Dog Foods While we managed to hold off price adjustments for 2 1/2 years until last August, regrettably, it is no longer possible to maintain our current price structure. On Wednesday, April 1st, pricing adjustments will go into effect for Flint River Ranch dog food and cat food formulas. Flint River Ranch has tried to make these adjustments as minimal as possible.

While it’s never enjoyable to have to increase prices, we are confident that when you do an honest comparison of all that Flint River Ranch offers, from the use of the highest-quality natural ingredients without the use of questionable or unnecessary filler ingredients, our superior oven-baked manufacturing processes, convenient home delivery, and great-tasting formulas that dogs and cats absolutely love, you will find that Flint River Ranch foods and treats are still very much worth your loyalty and future business and the health and happiness of your canine and feline family members.

The Dog Days of Summer have arrived, and unfortunately they’re also bringing price adjustments for Flint River Ranch dog food formulas. The cost of high-quality, human-grade ingredients has continued to rise along with increased shipping costs and fuel surcharges.

Here at A+ Flint River Ranch and at Flint River Ranch headquarters we’ve done everything we can to streamline costs while never sacrificing the high quality of our foods or “downsizing” the size of our bags in order to deceive customers about increased costs.

Here are more details about the upcoming price increases direct from the Flint River Ranch official site:

Flint River Ranch has managed to hold off any price adjustments since December of 2011. Regrettably, it is no longer possible to maintain our current price structure. We have had the expected increases in cost of ingredients and finished goods, and we have also absorbed increases with fuel surcharges, cardboard and most importantly, increased UPS shipping costs.

We have tried to make the adjustments as slight as possible, and we’re happy to report that we are able to maintain the current price structure of our grain-free cat food formula as well as all of our cat and dog treats and supplements!

We’ll have the full list of new prices up on our site shortly, but for now make sure to get your orders in before August 1st, 2014 in order to take advantage of the current pricing.

We thank you for your support and wish everyone a safe, happy and hopefully cool summer.

Exciting news from Flint River Ranch Headquarters about new small and large dog “size-specific” kibble formulas for your dogs as well as a chance to try out one of the new products at a very inexpensive price!

Here’s the latest information on the upcoming additions to the Flint River Ranch product line:

“For a few years now, we’ve had distributors and customers request “size-specific” kibbles for their dogs to eat. In the past we haven’t been able to provide this option, but we can now! We are currently in the process of changing our kibble presentation so that we will be able to offer both a small dog kibble and a large dog nugget in all of our formulas!

As you know, we introduced our new variegated kibble last year, and it has been accepted well and feeds great. We tried to make these kibbles so that they would appeal to dogs of all sizes. However, some owners still want a more size-specific option for their dogs, especially for some of the hypoallergenic, limited-ingredient formulas that were only available in the larger nugget size.

We’ve already been very successful with our nugget shape, so we are going to make this our “Large” dog nugget from here on. In the future it will be available only in the 20 and 40 LB bag sizes.

We are also finalizing testing new and smaller variegated kibbles for our small dog owners. We will have a test batch sent to us very soon, which will be available in our 10 LB bag size.

The first formula we are testing in these new shapes is our Lamb and Millet formula. I’m feeding a test bag of this in the nugget to my boys; both over 100 lbs., and they love the taste and the texture of the Lamb and Millet as a Nugget. As you know our nuggets are a good size to make dogs stop and chew their food more, so this shape is working very well.

We have 200 bags of the new Lamb and Millet Nugget 20 LB and 10 LB small dog bites coming to us by the end of February. We will be selling the TEST BAGS of 20 lb. bag at $20 to cover the shipping & handling. When the TEST BAGS of 10 lb. small dog kibble gets in, I will sell the 10 LB bag at $10. I ask that only 1 bag of each formula go to a specific address, and this offer is only on the TEST BAGS and until they run out. Again, this pricing is only for the test bags.

If you’re interested in trying them out, please send an email to orders@frrco.com with the subject line of “LMR test batch” to have your name added to the list to test these new shapes. Stipulate if you would like to have a 10 or 20 LB bag sent to you when they come in. Please include your full name, FRR account # [drop us a line if you need this information] and daytime phone number so we can alert you to when it’s received and on its way to you.

We’re very excited to finally be able offer these size-specific kibbles to you. We do ask that you let us know how the formula works for your dogs and your thoughts on these shapes when you receive them.”

As always, thank you for your time and support!”

The Flint River Ranch Company turned 20 this week!

From the Flint River Ranch Company president Jay P. Margedant:

“As I reflect on the first 20 years of Flint River Ranch, my mind continues to divert from initial thoughts of ‘Where we’ve come from’ to ‘Who has been a part of this success?’ and ‘Are we still making what they want and need in pet food?’

Yes, we were part of the initial push to natural pet foods and treats in America. We were first with home delivery of pet products AND one of the first manufacturers to offer ‘natural, oven-baked freshness’ foundation to all of our formulas (and we still do!). Our three-warehouse operation has grown to a network of 10 Logistical Warehouses, which places our fresh products closer to customers and enables us to provide very quick UPS Ground Service delivery for our customers while streamlining shipping costs to help reduce the price for customers.

Flint River Ranch has always been a family-owned, American-run business, using U.S.-sourced ingredients and staying away from Chinese materials. We have always used top-quality, U.S.D.A.-rated human-grade products in our formulas. We have always focused on natural, holistic formulas that enhance your pet’s nutritional life from the inside out.  Our foundation remains the same as when Jim Flint started this company back in 1993.

What I continue to reflect on today is that our success is due to our loyal customers and the family of hardworking Independent Distributors selling and supporting Flint River Ranch products. Together, you have been the driving force behind everything we try to do. Your willingness to trust and invest in our products is a key reason that the Flint River Ranch Company has been here for 20 years.

To our customers throughout the U.S., thank you! I love the notes, photos and funny stories you share with us about your beloved family pets and their experiences with Flint River Ranch! And trust me — we truly know the responsibility that we have in feeding your pets. We know the faith that you have put in us to provide your pets with the proper nutrition that they need to thrive!   We do our best to continue to not just get orders to you quickly, but to make sure our products are always consistent, fresh and healthy. We will work hard to continuously improve our offerings and earn your trust.

Thank you for having faith in our products and belief in our process! I look forward to our next 20 years and future developments in natural pet nutrition!

As always, thank you for your orders, interest and support of Flint River Ranch!”
