Hi Evelyn,
I was referred by Beverly. My Laila is a white boxer, and absolutely LOVES her Kumpi. She's about 6 years old, and has been acting like a puppy since she's been on it. I can't say enough good things about your product. Please feel free to use my endorsement however you like.
At any rate...what a great product!
Regards,
Carolyn

Kitty Kibble Size - Question Sent In
Opened the new bag of Kumpi Kat today. Noticed the kibble was smaller - any reason?
Arthur and Patrick did not notice - they finished their bowls without coming up for air.

Hiya K ~
When pet food is made, there is a marginal parameter they work to stay within. Usually,
I have cat food run two or three times a year, to keep the stock fresher. So sometimes, the
kibble will be smaller; I have asked them as they are calibrating their equipment to factor
for a smaller kibble than larger if there will be any variation.
There has actually been a scientific study that indicates a dog fed the same exact formula
of food in different sized kibbles had better retention of nutrients with the smaller kibble;
that was accomplished by measuring fecal matter; it has to do with surface area.
When I first was choosing a kibble for the cat food, I was told that the X shape was very
popular, since many cats don't want to eat kibble that their saliva has already touched. It
allows some companies to factor in a % of loss to the customer from each bag. The crunching
of the kibble isn't what dictates dentition, as much as the acid/alkaline level in the body.
But, just like the fallacy that corn isn't digestible, the sell on the X shape being superior for
dentition seems to sell.
Thanks for the question! It's a good Q & A for my blog.....minus the personal information.

Cat Magic! (direct quote!!)
Hi Evy,
just wanted to let you know that we finished our first 20 lb. KUMPI KAT and to our delight all 5 of my cats have the most amazing shiny coats. they are 10(2), 9 (2) and 5 )1) and no matter what i tried their coats remained flaky and somewhat dull. several months ago the vet recommended adding fish oil which i did for a while and that worked a little. we stopped the oil and the problem returned UNTIL we started feeding the KUMPI KAT. NO flaky, dry,dull skin just a lot of shine. thank you for your wonderful food....have a safe, healthy holiday.
