Testimonials from Our Customers
We always ask our customers what they
think of the Flint River Ranch pet foods we supplied them. A selection of
their comments:
“Sharon, ‘Tom Dog’ is happy and healthy with his Flint
River Ranch food. His allergies and troublesome itching are greatly reduced
to almost nothing at all. He is twelve years old and after being dumped
along a work site in Wetzel County, he was rescued by Larry—needless
to say he has made a loyal and loving pet. Thanks for introducing us to
Flint River Ranch Dog Food. He enjoys it.”
- —Larry & Jessie, Elkins, West Virginia
“Just a note to let you know the dog food and treats were delivered
this morning. The dogs love both products. I mixed the food together
with their usual brand, it is now laying all over the floor & the new
dog food is totally gone. The herbal treats went down fast also, they keep
going to the bag and wanting more. Thanks for sending these so quickly.”
- —Barb B.
“Sharon, Our dog seems to have much more energy. Her coat is more
shiny. We started feeding her three times a day and most of the time now
she’s too full to eat the noon time meal. Cleanup has also been a lot
easier. Thank-you!”
- —Mike M.
“Dear Sharon, I met you last year and you introduced me to Flint
River Ranch Dog Food. I have a female Cattle Dog and she loved the food
(but she loves all the food). The best thing about Flint River Ranch is
that her weight gain has slowed and her shedding is at a minimum. I am very
happy with the food. During the winter of 2005-2006 she developed a large
lump on her side. I took her to the vet and she took a blood sample. The
lump was from getting kicked, that was a relief. About a week later Dr.
Samko called me and questioned me about Gizzy’s age. I assured her
she was 12 years old. The she asked what I feed her. She said the dog has
the blood work of a 7 year old. Thank you for introducing me to Flint River
Ranch, I will never feed anything else.”

“Dear Sharon, We have a golden retriever named Shadow, he is less
than one year old. He started having problems with one of his back legs
and started limping. The Vet gave us medicine for him, this helped for a
little while, but he started limping again, would lie around, and didn’t
seem to have any energy. The vet gave him the same medicine again, this
helped for a while, then the problem came back. We were feeding Shadow Pedigree
dog food and some other name brands, you suggested we try your dog food.
After two days Shadow stopped limping and now two bags of food later he
has too much energy, I’m thinking about putting him back on the old
dog food just to slow him down a bit.”
- —Jeff S., Buckhannon, West Virginia
“Dear Sharon, My 15 year old cat Abigail has been on Flint River
Ranch cat food since February of this year. When I started her on it she
was so ill with kidney problems I really thought I wouldn’t have her
much longer. Her blood test results showed her kidneys were not doing their
job and she was failing.”
“After a month on the food Abby had blood work done again. She
had significant improvement in her lab values. Three months later she had
the blood work repeated and she continues to maintain an acceptable level.
The doctor’s comment was, “Whatever you are doing, keep doing
it.”
“I have no scientific proof that Flint River Ranch cat food caused
Abby’s improvement but there has been no other variable in her care
but the change of her food. As I’ve said to you before, we can’t
change Abby’s age and all that goes with that but I believe changing
her diet has allowed us to have her in our lives for some time to come.
Thanks for introducing us to Flint River Ranch cat food.”

“Sharon, Thanks for help saving our cat ‘Sassy.’ She
is a small black female. She lost about one-third of her body weight; fur
was dull and thin. After one 25 pound bag of food in about 2-4 weeks she
had regained her weight and her fur was thick and shiny. She is still fine
after 3 months and looks normal.”
- —J.R.B., Jane Lew, West Virginia

“Sharon, Just wanted to let you know what a difference Flint River
Ranch cat food has made in my cat ‘Bailey.’ Bailey was diagnosed
with cardiomyopathy approximately four years ago, and I almost lost him.
After spending four days in the hospital I brought him home with a gloomy
prognosis, thought if I had him another year I would be lucky. Everything
I read indicated the same, so I gave him his Lasix and baby aspirin as instructed
for the next year. He hung in there but had lost his energy, just holding
his own.”
“Then you walked into the E.D. one day and introduced me to Flint
River Ranch and Bailey is a different cat!!! He can jump up in the window
again. His appetite is great and his coat has never looked better. He has
been off his medicine for a long time and has even been able to tolerate
our new Shih Tzu, Daisy, a feat in itself!”
“Thank-you Sharon and Thanks Flint River Ranch. Bailey is 9 years
old now and is simply beautiful!”

To whom it may concern:
I have been a Veterinary assistant for 10 years and am a professional
K-9 trainer and instructor. I graduated from the West Virginia Canine College
in 1997 and have had several classes on nutrition. I have had many dogs
and cats in my life and have always fed them Iams or Eukanuba until I tried
Sharon’s Flint River Ranch pet food. The change in my animals is amazing!
Their coats have taken on a fullness and sheen that I have not seen on the
other “good” food. My cats were fat and now they have slimmed
down and their coat feels like “bunny fur.” Their litter box is
only one-third as full as usual! I only wish I had access to this food for
the German Shepherd I lost last year. I recommend this food unconditionally!
Thank you for this opportunity to share my enthusiasm for this food.

We have an older Labrador that was having problems with her coat and
skin. Also, she was losing weight. The vet said it could be the corn filler
in the supermarket dog food we were giving her. After one month on Flint
River, Daisy has now gained weight and her coat is beautiful! Skin problems
have disappeared so she is comfortable. The vet said: "This can't be
the same dog!" When we changed to your product, I thought Daisy might
reject the new food, but she gobbled it up! Thanks!
- —Daisy’s Mom
We have always left the bag of dog food where our 14 year-old dog could
reach it. When I introduced Flint River Ranch and put the food bag in the
same room as always, he chewed a hole in the side of the bag to get to it!
He has never done that with any other food. I put the food into a plastic
bin, but before I could put the cover on it, he had his head in it, and
I could hardly pull him away. Thank-you!

I've been using your products for my Golden Retrievers
for over a year, and I'm very pleased with the results. I breed my dogs,
and I'm very selective about the food I choose. I had been with my previous
brand for seven years, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.
My vet referred me to Flint River and I'm really glad I took the plunge.
The dogs recover faster from their whelping and have plenty of milk for
their pups. They also produce less waste and their breath is much better,
plus they actually eat less.

We have 2 kittens named Callie and Abby, we have them eating Flint River
cat food. They have eaten the food like crazy for years. They love it &
have no health problems; their coats shine & are soft. Since they have
been on Flint River cat food they have never had to have their teeth cleaned,
Our cats have never been sick in the eight years we have had them. We thank
Fflint River for our cats health and well being mainly due to the wonderful
flint river cat food products we feed our cats. Many thanks!

Sharon, I have used the FFR website for our last four purchases of big
bags of dog food.The UPS man delivers them to my front door every week or
so, (and once he carried the 40 pound box to our pet food storage area in
the house!) so I don't have to drag the bags from my car into the house.
The orders come like clockwork exactly five working days after I place the
online order. The FFRCo search engine is fast and accurate and filling out
the online order form couldn't be easier. I think the website itself is
SO easy to use that anyone can do it.
As for the dog food itself, well, it works. What more can I say? My
three year old yellow lab, Wally, has severe allergies to all kinds of outdoor
things plus most dyes and additives in commercial dog food. We switched
to FFR "fish and chips" formula dry food, which is actually trout
and sweet potato. Wally LOVES the taste and eats every drop of food we give
him unlike what he did when served other brands of dry dog food. The food
made a REMARKABLE difference in his health. He now receives allergy shots
less often, his bowel movements have firmed up at last, and the constant
flatulesence he has had has completely stopped. His hair is starting to
grow back where he had lost it due to scratching all the time. The change
in his overall health and quality of life really did improve and I thank
the Flint River Ranch pet food company for creating this marvelous dog food.
We are believers in it for sure! And I would recommend it to any dog that
has allergies or to pet owners who want their four legged companions to
eat a more wholesome diet. Thanks for helping all of your customers as much
as you do. It's been a pleasure working with you to help our pets. Sincerely,
- —Sara L., Elkins, West Virginia
Hi!, My name is Jocelyn and my dog, Sampson, a one-year old, 105 pound
Chocolate Labrador has only eaten Flint River Ranch dog food since day one.
His coat is amazingly luxurious, his eyes clear and his teeth and breath
are fabulous. I thought I'd send you a picture of him, as proof of how wonderful
your products are. He is so healthy. I recommend Flint River Ranch products
to all my dog loving friends. Thank you!

Thank you for your call back tonight. I have been using Flint River
Ranch food for my Schnauzers for about 6 years now. I purchased a pup from
a breeder in Tenn. I told her about the problems I have had with my Schnauzers
which went from stomach, to stones, to bad skin problems, seizures and the
list just went on and on. I though there was no such thing as a "well"
Schnauzer.
She said that I would need to put them on Flint River Ranch food, as
that is what the new puppy was on and it would take care of all of those
other problems. The veterinarian I had for my Schnauzers, had put them on
several different foods, diets and even home made diets and still no luck.
My vet bills reached over $2000.00 a year. Then I switched to Flint River
Ranch and the results have been nothing but amazing. The pups are healthy,
happy and love the food. I am so satisfied with the food that I have given
samples of the food to people to try on their pets with skin problems and
they have made the switch to Flint River Ranch. Some people think that there
is no difference in dog food and that dogs will eat anything. Flint River
provides a well balanced diet and this helps the dog to stay healthy and
their coats even improve. My pups don't eat as much food and are completely
satisfied.
I cannot say enough about this food and the company. Flint River Ranch
has always been very pleasant to talk to and placing orders has been very
easy. I also like the fact that the food is delivered to my home. All in
all, I am very satisfied with your food and I know that my pups are being
fed the best of the best. Thank you for your caring about these pets enough
to come up with the well balanced diet, nutritious and priced very affordable.
Thank you again for helping to make my family of Miniature Schnauzers remain
healthy and well fed.

Sharon, our huge Lab, Wally, really does well on the Flint River Ranch
allergy formulated food, Trout and Sweet Potato. His itchiness is much less
than when we try to give him a blend of that plus something like Iams. He
takes two allergy serums plus this food and rarely has to use any medications
like we used to have to give him. I hope others believe in it as a treatment
option and that they try this great product. NOTHING works as well with
his skin allergies. Although he eats like a horse, we've decided to keep
him on only FRR food for the rest of his life. Wally only does well when
he eats nothing but the allergy formulated food that FRR makes. Period.
If he stills a bit of the other pets’ foods he starts itching immediately.
So to keep him well, we’ll bit the bullet and buy this more expensive
food for him. It’s certainly less than what large vet bills would cost
to get his allergy back under control.

Thank you so much for letting us try this food for Jesse. The senior plus
really made a diference for a few weeks...it was unbelievable to see him
with so much more energy! This food really made a difference.
Unfortunately, Jesse passed away last month, he was 15 years old. We feel
so blessed and fortunate to have had him in our lives for so long. He was
a great dog and friend to all of us.
Thanks again for your kindness!

hopefully will get a healthy checkup on Thursday. I will let you know. Thank
you for letting me sample your food it has made a world of difference in
my dog.

Sharon,
Well... we've been about a month on the new FRR diet over here in Hubbard,
Ohio & just thought I'd touch base with you & let you know how it's
going. (I am in *LOVE* *LOVE* *LOVE* with this product!)
First off, Pugsley & Buddy always have been excited at dinner time and
Trixie has always been lackadaisical about eating. She would always look
at her bowl then at me like "seriously?... we're having this crap again?"
Now she's a' dancing when she knows it's chow time and can hardly wait
for me to get her bowl down because she absolutely *LOVES* the new food.
Trixie & Buddy are both due for rabies vaccination (vet doesn't give
them one every year - he's not a believer in giving shots when they don't
need them) so I will be weighing them both then but I'm sure Trixie has
lost some weight. After I weaned them over to FRR, I started feeding them
twice a day and went with your recommendation of about 2 to 2 1/2 cups for
Trixie (which I'll admit seemed insane at first) (1 cup AM and 1 1/2 PM)
so here I am coming up on having the food for about a month and I just opened
my second 20 pound bag of FRR. I do mix a 1/2 cup of Dry Water with 1/2
cup water and divvy it up amongst the 3 of them and just opened my second
bag of it also so I can not *BELIEVE* how long it's lasting me... was completely
and totally pleasantly surprised with that factor!!!! I'm on a limited
income here so wasn't sure I would be able to afford the more "expensive"
FRR food but since I feed them less of it, it lasts so long there isn't
much (if any) difference in what I spent on what I used to give them (although
I do pray they will always keep it at free shipping)! And even if I were
spending a tiny bit more, it's worth it knowing that they are getting the
best quality of food SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO MY HOUSE at LIGHTNING QUICK SPEED.
Thanks!
