An Inside look at part of the Flint River Ranch Process

RESEARCH
As a small company, Flint must first determine if a dog food product can be produced with quality ingredients, and whether it will offer consumers good value and yet keep the price within the market. Iis the product within the scope of Flint's production facilities and capability? Can Flint purchase the right ingredients from certified suppliers? Because of the nutritional value of oven baking, it is important that any new dog food product cook well in the ovens.

Next, meetings are held with a team of nutritionists, consultants, veterinarians and the Flint Production staff for development of the dog food formula. Once a formula is developed, Flint Production does several test runs to make sure of the blending and the equipment. TESTING
In addition to in-house evaluation, production samples of the dog food are provided to an outside independent testing laboratory for mineral/vitamin assay and analysis. The lab certifies information for regulatory agencies and labeling requirements. Flint's guidelines always exceed AAFCO profile requirements!

Several different feeding tests are used. Flint has a controlled group of animals comprising a variety of ages, lifestyles, and breeds, along with individual professionals who have pets providing in-home feeding tests. Other dog food field tests are handled by a Veterinarian that reports results under professional supervision.

This process can take 3-4 months. Whenever adjustments are made in the formula, the entire process starts over for another 4-6 months. It can take about one year to bring a new dog food product to the market.
