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.

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.

More Happy News!

Evy,
I have been an avid kumpi user for 5 or 6 years now. I started my girls on it when I lived in Denver. I moved to LA about 15 months ago and tried other brands but my girls didn't do nearly as well (not to mention that they didn't like it). I came back to Denver to move my furniture over the summer and bought out vitamin cottage's supply of senior.
I then turned my amazing dog nanny onto Kumpi. She has seen the same results in her senior dogs and has blogged about your product to all of her customers. My girls are 13 & 15 with few health issues considering their ages & when I have them out at the park no one can believe their ages. I did see their coats get better, (much)better breath and energy levels skyrocket after I got them back on Kumpi.
Thank you for providing such an amazing product. I truly believe that this has contributed to their long healthy lives.
Thank you for doing wht you do and mking such. Great product!

Angeles wishes he had thumbs ...

....then he could open his own bag without making a mess!

Neighbors Share With Neighbors About Kumpi!!

Evy,

I have good news! My neighbor came up to me today and said the dogs are doing FANTASTIC on Kumpi!!! They're no longer sick, but not only that, the poop is 'normal' finally. She also said that the Westie has always pooped like crazy, it seemed like he was just pooping everything he was eating and nothing was left for him yet he remained 'bloated'... needless to say, he's not pooping as much anymore and both dogs have a lot more energy than they've had in a very long time!!

She had a hard time returning the old dog food, as she had an unopened bag. Even with her receipt they argued with her about returning it because they didn't think anything was wrong with the dog food, so they didn't think it was a legitimate reason for her to return it. She told them it doesn't matter, she has an unopened bag and her recent receipt, they're obligated to return it, it even states so on the receipt. Finally they did, but not without it being a complete hassle.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you know how excited my neighbor is with Kumpi!!! :-D

Talk to you soon!

Cool Testimonial!!

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
