Endless Mountain Labradors uses Flint River Ranch Dog Food

Due to the recent pet food scares, I feel obligated to use this page to educate our clients, and the public about pet food.

Having worked full-time in the nutritional field for 5 years, I started transferring what I knew about human nutrition to canine nutrition. Our bodies are very much the same as our canine counterparts (you'll notice that the drugs they are treated with are very much the same as we take too!) I had a lot of dog food companies and dog food supplement companies contact me to write their training programs for breeders, and so my journey began...

Having used a lot of dog foods over the last 21 years of breeding...I've seen it all. I've loved some, I've hated some. I also have to make it clear that my information contained here will also be specifically geared towards nutrition as it has to do with labradors. I have found that labradors, in general, sometimes seem more sensative to food allergies than other breeds, or maybe I'm just assuming that based on all the calls and emails I get from all over the country from people that have labs with skin and coat allergies. As soon as I make my food recommendations to them they call or email me later RAVING about the changes in their dogs...you would not believe how many people call me with labs that have "hot spots", and when I proceed to ask them what they are feeding their dogs they tell me something like "Dads"...about the equivalent of feeding twinkies to your dogs, basically! It's cheap, and you get what you pay for...junk. And you know how YOUR body reacts if you feed it twinkies everyday...and the medical field has proven how much our health is tied to nutrition...how many diseases and disorders are merely nutritional deficiencies in our bodies! Plain and simple.

Cancer: I have a LOT of people call me and tell me their labs (bought from other breeders besides myself). Frankly, I'm appalled out how proliferate this is in the breed. I personally have only heard of cancer in 1 dog in all my 21 years of breeding. I don't know if I have just had good luck or what...but it has never been a genetic issue in our labs. BUT, I do know that we have pumped our dogs full of antioxidants and gluten free food. Oncologists actually put dogs on wheat/glutten free food to prevent cancer, or if they are already pre-disposed to cancer. It is also low carb, so you will not struggle with weight problems either. Basically corn and wheat were originally used in pet foods and as a cheaper source of filler than the wheat protein was. Many people prefer to not feed carbs because for one thing, cancer cells FEED OFF OF CARBS. In humans, the nations with higher carb consumption have a higher cancer rate. Its FACT. Lower the carbs, and lower your risk for cancer, diabetes, etc. All things are dogs get as well. They digest proteins and herbs/plants much better---that is what they were designed to digest. In wild dogs are carnivorous, BUT they also graze on greens (herbs, etc)...

*All natural, low temperature baked (baking can sap the nutrients out of food...we all know that!)

*Made without corn meal, corn Gluten, corn oil (corn is indigestible to dogs, due to their short intestine) corn is used as a cheap filler in many commercial pet foods, it just ends up in the poop pile in your yard!

*Made with no chemical preservatives, Many chemicals that have been banned for human use in many countries are still being put in US dog foods!

*Not made with raw material bought from major suppliers (like Menu pet foods)...so no need to worry when the next pet food scare comes along!

*Made only with Wheat Gluten that is bought from General Mills (cheaper wheat mills open themselves to toxic wheat...and end up with insects, chaff, stalks in their wheat)

*Made only with high quality meat ingredients (not heads, guts, and road kill like the cheaper foods trying to cut corners!) FRR only uses the choice cuts of meat, not the brains, tongues, fetal tissue (high in hormomones), intestines (watch out for the fecal matter inside!), or possibly diseased and even cancerous meat. Ingredients are listed in descending order on a label, so make sure meat is one of the first listed!

*made with natural digestive enzymes, allowing your pet to get more out of what he is eating, and leaving LESS in your yard to pick up!

*formulations exceed the guidelines as set forth by AAFCO- American Association of Feed Control Officials. FRR foods are made using their own fixed formulas under their direction in Southern California.

Proper diet is the most basic aspect of a pets lifestyle . FRR is formulated to holistically help the body heal itself, and maintain a healthy state. Benefits are usually first noticeable in the pets shiny coat, healthy skin, and energy level.

I have to say I love the page and all the information you give on labs. I found your page a few months back and found the information you provide to be super helpful. I have a 4.5 year old lab named Charlie. He would have to get a shot twice a year to stop himself from itching when the seasons changed. I read your article about Flint River Ranch dog food. I immediately ordered a bag of the trout and potato. He liked it so so. I then tried the lamb and rice and he loved it. Its been a few month and his coat is super shiny and no more scratching. So I threw away the small amount of Nutro I had left and never looked back.

I live in western MA but would love to get my next dog from your family. What is the price range for a yellow male? I assume we will not be needing one for a while but would like to get an idea. I like the idea of buying my dogs from a family that cares about the animals and treats them as family.

Hope you are doing well. I've attached our prior correspondence so that you would remember me. I just wanted to let you know that Duke has been on Flint River Ranch Trout & Sweet Potato for approx. a little over two weeks and it seems that we've eliminated the white flakes of skin from his beautiful chestnut brown coat. Thank you so much for recommending the food as well as NuVet...

I spoke to you about a month ago regarding flint river ranch food. I was the one with Blizzard (not an Endless Mt. Labrador...this is just a person who contacted us through our website) who had a hot spot and out of control shedding. Its been just about a month now and he is 100%. He love the food we have been giving him the trout and potato food and treats along with the Linatone. His coat looks great and the shedding is so much less.

One other tip: Do not feed store-bought dog treats!!!! I can say first hand that EVERY dog I meet that are fed these treats is FAT. I don't mean chubby, I mean OBESE!! It is best to stick with raw veggies (dogs need their "greens" too...no, they are not strictly carnivorous, if you watch dogs in the wild, they "graze" too!! Surprise! Its not that they have worms or a sick stomach that they do this!!) Dogs love baby carrots especially. I also recommend you buy the FRR treats that are the same formulation as your dog food (so you don't upset the delicate balance of their diet). FRR specifically SHAPES their treats into a whafer...the purpose for this shape and design is that the dog cannot take the treat and swallow it whole--your pup is forced to chew the treat, which exercises the gums and teeth to help promote good dental health. As we all know, most dogs don't TRULY chew their food enough, and don't benefit as highly as they could from good digestibility.

The "Jubilee Wafers" are enhanced with Glucosomine and Chondroitin Sulfate to help keep your dogs joints healthy and moving with ease...what a great thing to also feed your pup while it is developing all of its bone, tissue, and joints!!!

Quite simply, you will not find a higher quality pet food than Flint River Ranch anywhere. In the end, it is up to you to safeguard the nutrition and resulting health of your pet. Thank you for caring enough for your pet to read this page.
