More Good News!

hi evy... just want to tell you that not only has Kumpi worked for my JRT with kidney failure ( he is like a new dog, bouncy and healthy) BUT my Aussie of 14 years with bad hips and a vacant look in his eye now has a new lease on life... He is much sharper than before (mentally speaking) and is getting around much better as well ( without his arthritis medicine). Thought you would like to know about two more success stories!!! carol

Senior vs Adult Dog Food

Hi Evy,
I have 3 dogs: 2 senior dogs, who are both in their teens. The other one is 2 years old. I bought the senior dog food for the old guys and the adult for the young guy. What exactly is the difference? Would it be okay to have my younger guy on the senior food, or would he end up lacking nutrients? I’m due to buy my cats more food (I have 8). They never leave any of it behind like they did the cheap stuff.

Hiya Shannon ~

Well, even with dog's in their teens, it doesn't mean that it's time for the senior formula. The senior formula is meant for the dog that just can't burn off the calories in the adult formula with 'normal' feeding. The biggest difference between the senior and adult formula's are the protein/fat levels - so you aren't ever losing nutrient value between the two. More and more anecdotal evidence leads to keeping dogs on the adult formula as long as possible, since their need for protein and fat don't really decrease until their activity level just drops so low that they cannot burn off the calories. Fat/protein are part of the system that fuels the body's ability to regenerate i.e. bone, blood, marrow, cells and IMHO and people I respect, bottoming that out prematurely can actually turn a dog into a senior if they don't have access to those nutrients.

As you see, there isn't a blanket answer for a dog just by age. Like people they are all so different; but I definitely wouldn't have a two year old dog on the senior formula at such low protein and fat. Some Dalmatians, just by breed proclivity, do better on a lower fat diet; but overall, a dog's best bet is the adult formula. And an FYI, Kumpi Adult Dog Food is an All Life Stages formula.

Thanks for writing!!

Irritable Bowel Feedback

I just wanted to drop you a quick line and let you know we have just about finished the first bag and put in a order for the second bag of kumpi.We have two dogs and they seem to love kumpi. The german shepard has irritable bowel and has trouble with most food but has done great on kumpi. We have noticed an improvement in both of their coates. We are really excited to have the opportunity to purchase a dog food that is so healthy for our dogs.Thank you very much Evy for your pursuit of such a nutritious dog food.

Sincerely, Chris and Susan

Heart Warming For Me

I just want to say how grateful my dog Rocco and I are for your dog food! I first used your product while living in Denver and working at The Vitamin Cottage. A customer recommended it for my 2 year old rescue from The Dumb Friends League who came to me with giardia and campylobacter and even after treatment had a very sensitive stomach. Your food was a miracle! He was cured right away and we went years with no stomach issues at all. When I moved to Chicago I was so happy you offered online ordering because the 3 bags I brought with me wouldn't last forever. Then my vet as well as the all XXXXXXX Pet Store next door convinced me that there were many other options for Rocco. I was skeptical after reading the long list of ingredients (with everything but the enzymes and probiotics that I feel are essential) but I bought a bag. Big mistake. It has gone from flatulence to diareha and needless to say we are once again your number one fans in Chicago.

Once again, you can argue label all you want to - you just cannot beat results!! Many thanks for taking the time to share! Evy

Yappy, the Ex-Professional Old Dog

When mother died eleven years ago, I inherited her three-year old rescued Black Lab, Yappy. We were both grieving, and in my desire to comfort him I fed him, and fed him, and fed him some more. Yappy blossomed! Then we went through all possible diet dog foods; some made him ill, but none took of the extra weight.

Yappy, ten years later, was a “professional old dog”—comfortable with his overweight, he moved as little as possible. It was at this time we switched to Kumpi—Senior for him, because of his obesity.

Now, fourteen months later, I’m wondering what happened to my “professional old dog.” Yapps has slimmed to perfect weight, plus he’s gained so much energy he’s playing and romping with the young’uns more like a four-year old than a fourteen year old!

He really got my attention the other morning. A young adult Basset mix was just in front of him going down the deck steps. Her legs moved just as fast as Yappy’s but, being shorter, didn’t cover quite as much ground. Yappy stuck his nose under her hind end and she went down the steps like a wheelbarrow at Yappy speed.

I should have corrected his bad manners, but I was laughing too hard.

THANK YOU, KUMPI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mary S.

I Couldn't Resist - received June 6, 08

I can’t afford to sell Kumpi here at the biz but I’ll be damned if I’m going to feed my dog crap food, and you can put that on your website. I switched to selling XXXXXXX because there is no minimum order and it’s local which saves me tons of money. My dog has been sick ever since, her coat looks like shxt and I’ve had enough. So…. You will be getting an order from me forever. Thank You so much for making such great food- I just wish I could afford to sell it here in bulk, maybe someday I’ll be rich and then I can.

Thanks
