I have hounds and would like to feed a good "NATURAL, PURE, Small town, Heartland Person that looked me in the eye" quality feed, but I guess it's only for those with more money than sense with 1-2 little dogs that lie around all day waiting for their next 4# bag of edible gold...cats, free - $ 800, man's best friend $ 100-10000, KUMPI-'PRICELESS'!!!

We've been using Kumpi for over a year now, and it's definitely been everything we expected it to be. Please support Evy.

My oldest Kitty Jaguar has suffered from skin allergies and issues his whole life needing medicine every other day. He's been on KumpiKat for alomst a month and NO MORE issues! The Vet was amazed and so was I. He is so healthy, looks great & happy. My Dog is also eating Kumpi. She loves it & is back to her healthly weight and active as ever. I wish I found Evy years ago!

While she does seem concerned about nutrition, I don't like any food that lists corn as the first ingredient. Nor do I like "meat meal". Since they don't specify what meat, it can be anything. I appreciate her concern and research, but I think there are better foods out there. I looked at the ingredients.

Quite oppostie to what has been said in various places by Evy some breeds are known to be sensitive to corn and my breed, the Schipperke, is one of them. Evy is right about the nutritional value of ground corn but in our case it just won't work. We, and other Schip people arrived at this by the trial and error method of introducing food ingredients one at a time and corn proved to be the problem in our *allergy* situation. Breeds ARE different.. I WISH I could try the Kumpi foods but I can’t.

From the very beginning I wanted to make sure he had the best food available so I fed Science Diet for years. A few years ago I attended a law enforcement canine exhibition with a friend who works for the sheriff's office. Kumpi was there with an information table and free samples of their food. I took them home and my dog who has never been a big eater loved them. I'm not a person who jumps into anything without leaning all I can. I researched Kumpi online, I compared the ingredients to his Science Diet, and I talked to my vet. In the end I decided that switching to Kumpi was a no brainer. Bitey has never had any significant health issues so I can't comment on any remarkable recoveries but since the switch I have noticed significant changes. His coat is luxurious and he now sheds much less. His teeth are in great shape and he goes twice as long between cleanings. The very best thing is that my 11 year-old best friend is amazingly active, lively, and healthy! In the past three years, even as he gets older chronologically, he has regained his youth! I will never feed any food other than Kumpi! I rescued my corgi-mix, Bitey, from a shelter when he was six weeks old.

With the whole recall, we decided to find a food for our dog that can be trusted. Not from a company that clearly has money and profits over a quality product. After a lot of searching, we found Kumpi (and Evy!) - Please, everyone. If you care about your pet, and truly want the best food, do your research, and check out http://www.kumpi.com - and send an E-mailt o Evy, and you'll get a REAL reply from the President of the company. How many other companies would do this? How many other companies will also help you out personally with questions you have about their food? Kumpi discloses everything and the information is pricless. We ordered our first bag last night, and we're looking forward to seeing if all the testimonials and stories are true. I pray they are, but I have no reason to believe they aren't. :) Thanks Evy!!!! Evy is amazing!! With the whole recall, we decided to find a food for our dog that can be trusted.

This is a red alert to me. I am not trying to offend but if it was an identifiable product it would be identified...such as chicken, turkey, beef, buffalo etc. When the term "meat" is used it can be anything and any part including road kill and rendered animals. I am not suggesting that you use this in your product, I really don't know, but I can't help but wonder why you are labeling the ingredient so ambiguously. I was looking for a new food for my mother-in-law but not a product that uses "meat meal". And why not use whole eggs instead of egg product which is the leftover by-products of the egg. And why use corn at all in food for a carnivore. What concerns me is that the second ingredient in the adult dog food is “meat and bone meal.” This is a red alert to me.

Contact Evy for more information. I buy mine online and Fedex has no problem getting my food to me. You can e-mail her at kumpi@earthlink.net or give her a call at 303.693.6533. Her websites are http://www.kumpi.com or http://www.kumpikat.com. Give her a call....I just talked to her last night for like 90 minutes...she is very accessible and is always happy to talk to people about pet health and nutrition.

He even pukes tuna, and the one time I tried frozen (thawed, natch) raw food he didn't eat for the whole week of that experiment, and that stuff is just nasty. But I am going to try this stuff anyway because I hate hate hate supporting P&G and their testing abbatoirs. God I hate the idea of having my cat food delivered, it's so blowthedotoutyourass.com ... but WTF, it beats cleaning up cat hurl and spot-cleaning the carpets.

Pet Food companies voluntarily agree to participate in AAFCO labeling. AAFCO labeling requires listing in order of weight of ingredients and requires certain ingredient definitions. Do you know that pet food can contain blood, feces, feathers, tumors from dead animals of any species and this does NOT appear on the label? Do you know that if suppliers of ingredients add chemicals, pesticides and medications that does not have to appear on the labels?? AAFCO is founded and run by pet food companies. It has no regulatory powers and does not investigate. USDA will investigate a complaint about pet food IF the pet owner has PROOF that the pet food caused a problems AND a sample.

We work with rescue dogs who often in pretty bad shape and I am really concerned about finding a good food for them. I have also had some negative results from high-profile senior foods, and have stopped using them. More info would be great, along with suggestions where Kumpi might be found in Kansas.
