Dear Mr Köber,

today I would like to tell you about our experiences with your dog food. Since 2005, our dog Bafy (Basset Hound, 5 years old) has been suffering from allergies. Unfortunately, he suffered from mites of all kind. And on top of that, he has always been a poor eater. Often, he didn't eat for days, he suffered from severe gastrointestinal problems and disastrous liver values. But all this is gone now. Thank you so much! And now let's go to cause and effects:

In late summer 2007, the allergy got worse. Additionally, Bafy suffered from severe stomach problems which were at their worst at that time. After I had thrown away another package of dog food (allegedly a premium "sensitive" version, 3kg), because Bafy again had thrown up his food, I took a look at the journal "Unser Rassehund", for I knew I had seen your advertisement in it. I read your advertisement once again, called you up immediately and told your employee about my problems. She listened patiently, then recommended feeding only light food at first so that Bafy's stomach and bowels could have a rest and be able to recuperate together with his liver. I listened to this advice and asked her to send us some light food and treats. And this proved to be godsend. This happened 14th of August, 2007. Already the next day I was able to feed the light food. Of course, I was suspicious. And at first, Bafy didn't want to eat his new food. But then he changed his mind and finally ate up everything in his bowl with great enthusiasm. This made me anticipate the worst because Bafy had suffered from acid regurgitation after feeding during the past few months. Gastric juices would run down to his chest. After that he suffered from flatulence and diarrhoea or constipation. This especially happened when he had eaten a lot. Fortunately, this didn't happen that often. So, after Bafy had eaten “Köber's light”, I waited for things to take their inevitable course as they had in the past. But believe it or not ... nothing happened at all. The dog even didn't burp. After feeding, he just went back to normal and didn't seem to have any problems with his stomach. From the first day on, your dog food really agreed with him.

“Köber’s light” is ideally suited for Bafy. In October, he again enjoyed windfall fruits without repercussions. He ate his daily meals, which he never did before and he really ate a lot (according to your schedule he received ten mugs a day, sometimes even more), and was fed little second helpings sometimes late in the evening and everything was great. But in December, we were in a right mess. Bafy had gained four (4!) kg in weight! And these were distributed so evenly, that they even didn't appear to be that much. The veterinarian, however, who was to inoculate Bafy against rabia, had noticed and weighed him. Of course, this was not for the hoped-for result. But I´m anticipating. Before that, many more things had happened. After the light food had proved to be a perfect godsend, I was of the opinion, that, due to Bafy's allergy, I might feed your complete "Erfolgsquartett" and so I bought the rest of it, that is "Supermix GJ" and the "Kräutermischung" in your shop in Bochum. And very soon I needed fresh supply of the light food. To be on the safe side, I had only ordered 4kg of "Köber's light". Never before, our dog has eaten 4kg of food in such a short time. Our dog Bafy really has started to enjoy his food again. He likes the food.
However, "Supermix GJ" at first did not agree with Bafy, as it was still too rich for his stomach. He suffered from burping and started scratching more often than usual. There were some problems with the "Kräutermischung", too, so your employees told me to just stop feeding it. However, I was not quite sure if Bafy's problems were really due to this. It was still August, the number of harvest mites was on the rise and the allergy got worse. Until then, Bafy was doing quite well. As far as the allergy was concerned, I was now using silica and evening primrose oil, which used to work really fine, but it stopped working in August. However, Bafy was untroubled by big wheals and pustules or even inflammation and eczemas, which was a very substantial progress. Nevertheless, the allergy was conspicuous through ugly coat discolourations in the armpits and on legs and arms. Since 2005, Bafy had suffered from crusts on his elbows from his sebaceous glands; in this summer, however, they stayed dry for the very first time. But again and again he had red spots, that is irritated skin on the abdomen and the inner surface of the thighs. However, this was the best summer since 2004.

Bafy was fed with "Köber's light" only. And, of course, with treats. In mid-October, I was not the only one thinking that the allergy had got better. Once again I took photos of the problem area. In comparison with a photo taken on 12th of August, I realised that a substantial improvement had taken place. It was easy to see and hard to believe. Things were really happening! When I had to buy new dog food, I took both photos with me and showed them to your Ms Walter. She was so enthusiastic, that the "confiscated" the photos right away in order to show them to you. Of course I didn't mind.

So Bafy struggled bravely through summer and autumn. The allergy was kept within limits, with an occasional minor relapse but then two or three leaps forward to compensate. The brown spots became smaller, stomach and bowel had recuperated completely. Bafy was in top form again. He perked up more each day without being hyped up. Since I have been feeding your dog food, he doesn't suffer from either diarrhea or constipation No longer he does suffer from flatulence, grumbling or squeaking in the tummy. He has no more acid indigestion, the bad breath is gone. His chin is always dry, and the eczema, which was usually very pronounced and swollen under his chin, is a thing of the past. Liver values are okay. So everything is fine. Except for the four kilos he´s gained.

But well, maybe you can't have everything; however, we've got to get rid of them, as Bassets very often suffer from joint problems. In the meantime, Bafy gets the complete "Erfolgsquartett". "Supermix GJ" now agrees with him very well, and so does the "Kräutermischung". Since 29th of December, I am feeding both, additionally to "Köber's light". But he now gets less and no longer gets late meals. The allergy is getting better, we tackled the house dust mites with a spray and they are now not much in evidence. There are still some contact problems with slight red marks, because I obviously didn't spray all over, however, Bafy no longer reacts so strongly. His coat used to quickly turn a dark brown colour, but now only gets a light reddish brown. Bafy's body is really adjusting. We only have to be patient, but we are on the right track and will surely reach our goal. So if it takes a few months more - never mind. The main thing is that something positive is happening. And what was most important for me, namely to help Bafy's stomach and bowel, is long taken care of. Now, he neither needs pills for his stomach nor for his liver. And this is great. I can't help but being enthusiastic and convinced by your great dog food, with an incredible value for money. With a clear conscience, I can recommend your pet food to everyone. Yours sincerely

Subject: A big thanks to the management of Köber!

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude! Approximately 2 years ago,I discovered your company while I was desperately searching for a dog food that would agree with my Maltese dog, who, at that time, was 3 years old. The email I sent to you was answered immediately and in detail and I followed your advice. Since 2006, I have been feeding "Köber's light". And since then, my dog has had no trouble with intestinal problems and itching. He is very chirpy and still loves your dog food. Best wishes (Personal data were deleted)

Dear family Köber,

I simply have to contact you to take this opportunity of shaking your hand. In November 2004, I took over my German Shepherd, Aaron, from his previous owners in a very bad condition.

Skin and coat had suffered badly and lost all their shine, his energy was at a low point ... My veterinarian and I tried out all sorts of things on him. He got injections, diet food, etc. etc. But things didn't get better ...

In the beginning of 2008, I think, it was in February, I came across your Website by chance. After I had read everything carefully, I orderd 2 bags of "Köber'sAuslese". (Just for your information: I have 3 Shepherds.)

When I got the food, I was sceptical at first (I already had tried sooo much). But, nothing ventured, nothing gained. So I fed "Köber's Auslese" to all of my dogs. After approximately 6 weeks, Aaron's coat started becoming shiny and his skin problems disappeared, slowly, but surely.

I am sooo happy about your product, that there will be no other dog food for me and my dogs. Your food agrees very well with all of my dogs and they are looking very fit. This summer, I took a photo of my dog that I would like to show you. Of course, you may use this email as a testimonial, if you like ...

Thanks a lot, best wishes (personal data were deleted)

Subject: "Erfolgquartett"

Dear family Köber,

we were successful and are deeply grateful to your dog food. We are owners of a 3 year old French bulldog, female. Since her birth she has suffered from skin problems, thin, lusterless coat, hair loss, weeping itchy skin etc. She also was very restless. After endless and above all, expensive, visits to the veterinarian I found your dog food on the Internet. Since Christmas we have been feeding the "Erfolgsquartett", and we no longer have to be embarrassed by a "bold" dog and are pleased with the shiny coat of our calm, attractive female bulldog. Now we intend to switch over the food so that we no longer have to order these quantities. What can you recommend us? Once again, thanks a lot for this outstanding food,

yours sincerely

Dear family Köber,

five weeks ago, our Fidel, a Havanese, now aged 7 months, was diagnosed with a pancreatic disease. Our veterinarian recommended a canned diet dog food, which we were to feed in order to get better pancreatic values. After Fidel had suffered from the worst diarrhea for more than a week, during which we spent many sleepless nights, the veterinarian recommended us to feed enzymes as a supplement and then test the values once again. But this was exactly what we didn't want to do. So I searched on the Internet for a very long time and finally discovered your company and your dog food. For 4 weeks, Fidel has now been eating "Köber's light", herbs ("Kräuter"), and some treats and - Lo and behold. Last week's test showed outstanding results. Everything is okay now, Fidel doesn't "produce" more than 2 or 3 well-shaped small droppings a day, he has gained weight and obviously feels comfortable. I'll plug your dog food, and as far as I am concerned, "I am so glad there's Köber's"!

Hello! Today I would like to tell you about my dog who has been suffering from eczemas and severe itching ever since he was a puppy. Switching food to different foods "for the sensitive dog" and months of treatments with cortisone and antibiotics were not successful at all. The itching remained, the coat was lusterless and the dog´s coat even started falling out. Due to the festered spots on the skin, the dog gave off a specific smell. We were really stumped.
Then, by hazard, I read about Köber's dog food. As I wanted to leave nothing undone, I simply ordererd it. Our dog continued to be treated by the vet. I ignored the "piece of good advice" from the veterinarian, who was of the opinion, that our dog should only be fed with horsemeat from now on. Instead I used to feed Köber's, just as I did the previous 3 months. The itching got better, the sores healed and our dog's coat became soft and shiny. And yesterday, the moment of truth arrived: The veterinarian wanted to start with injection therapy. This was planned a long time ago. But she didn't believe her eyes when she saw that our dog no longer suffered from any symptoms. As of now, I was able to discontinue medications and for the time being, there is no mention of injections. I can only recommend to every pet owner to start feeding right from the beginning with products from "Köber's". Thanks a lot.

… Yours sincerely (Personal data were deleted)

Hello, you have listed some testimonials on the Internet. Today, I'd also like to report on the experience I made with your dog food. I am a dog owner of a little crossbreed from Spain who started suffering from itching as soon as she arrived in Germany; maybe this was due to the change in her living circumstances. I tried many sorts of dog food, and I really mean many. Of course, I didn't change the food every week, but I tried for a longer period of time. Most of the time, everything went well for the first 2 - 4 weeks, but then the itching started all over again. With some sorts of food, the itching started after only 1-2 days. And then I discovered Köber's on the Internet. I was really desperate, and as I have been disappointed so often, I admit that at first I didn't believe in Köber's either! I ordered the "Erfolgsquartett" against itching, allergies, eczemas and licking in the smallest packaging unit possible. In the beginning, there was thin stool, but it is stated on the packaging that this might happen. However, I thought to myself, this is a great start... But - miracle of miracles - the itching started to get better. The thin stool disappeared slowly and got back to normal. I've been feeding Köber's for half a year now, and I have to admit, this dog food is some kind of wonder to me. My bitch is now able to live like a normal dog, without allergies and without cortisone. The itching disappeared, and I am so happy. As treats, she gets "Köber's Leckerchen", and as a special reward "Köber's Fleischbrocken", and both agree with her very well. Currently, her allergy is so stabilised that she sometimes is even allowed to nibble another biscuit, but only very rarely. I would like to recommend "Köber's Erfolgsquartett" to every dog owner. It might not help every dog, but it is worth a try, and it really helped my dog. Probably, I'll soon get a second dog. And of course, he'll get "Köber's" as well. I'd like to say THANK YOU to Köber's company. There is nothing better than a healthy dog without itching and with a coat soft and shiny.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Köber!

For 6 1/2 years, we have been dog owners of a Hovawart. Approximately 1 1/2 years ago, he started suffering from itching and eczemas and his coat at the tail disappeared completely, so that he was only left with a bald, pink "thing". The coat also disappeared on his head and his hindquarter, which looked from the back like a kind of jodhpurs. Bald spots the size of A4 sheets of paper on his legs completed the pathetic sight. Our visits to the veterinarian produced nothing but an expensive treatment with cortisone. Then a colleague told us about your food.

When we started feeding it this year in summer, we hardly had a spark of hope. But about approximately 4 weeks after we first fed "Köber's light", combined with "Köber's Kräutermischung", the first positive results appeared. Very slowly, the bald spots disappeared, the shining eyes returned, the itching stopped and the dog became more and more energetic. Now, after 6 months, he's nearly himself again and the skin problems are imperceptible. We would like to express our sincere thanks for the help we got concerning the coat problems of our dog. We will recommend your food so it can help other dogs suffering from the same problems.

Yours sincerely

Dear family Köber,

Since 1997, our 5 year old Westie bitch, Mindi, has suffered from eczemas, extreme itching, dark skin discolourations and severe hair loss, mainly on her flanks, neck, back and paws. 3 conventional vets and one alternative practitioner tried in vain to help her. Blood tests, skin tests and biopsies were carried out and cultures were grown. Injections, ointments, drugs and different feeding recommendations failed. Sometimes there was a slight improvement, but it never lasted. The costs went on rising - and Mindi went on suffering. She got plump because of cortisone and too little excercise - she no longer wanted to play or run. In the waiting room of the non-veterinary practitioner I saw your advertisement in a dog journal, and as I wanted to leave nothing undone in order to help our dog, I came into your shop approximately 1/2 year ago. Following your advice, I bought your diet food, the "Kräutermischung" and canned food. At first, I had to mix some canned food with the diet food, so that Mindi got used to it. Now she only gets the diet food combined with a little bit of the "Kräutermischung". The result: Mindi is a happy dog again. The skin looks healthy and the coat (top hair and undercoat) is back to 100 per cent. I am convinced of the quality of your products and will stick to this feeding method. I recommended your company to other dog owners who could see for themselves from the development of Mindi's state of health. Thank you also very much for your competent advice und I wish you good luck for you and your company for the future.

Yours sincerely

Dear family Köber,

the photos in the first part of this letter show our dog at the end of April 1998, a short time before we started radically and consistently to switch over to Köber's products. The dog suffered quite clearly from severe skin problems, itching and partly already inflamed eczemas (above all at the flanks and the back); due to the constant itching and presumably because of the sores, the dog was restless, nervous and could not cope with stress, very often, he suffered from very bad diarrhoea and lost weight constantly. As our "regular veterinarian" soon was no longer able to help, we kept on searching for new vets again and again. But no one was able to help our dog. Over and over again, new diagnoses were given, and we kept on getting bills, which were far from small, the state of health of our dog, however, didn't change. The diagnoses ranged from a dysfunction of the pancreas through to fox mange and the after-effects of canine parvovirus when the dog was a puppy through to liver dysfunction. Dog sports colleagues and experienced dog trainers suggested that the dog should swim as often as possible ("swimming is good for the skin"), that the dog shouldn't swim at all ("swimming is no good for the skin"), that the dog should be kept outside more often ("because it is probable that the dog suffers from a house mite allergy"), and that the dog should be kept in the house more often ("because, how could the sores heal outside?!"). But nobody talked about switching over to a good dog food. Additionally, we soon had to stop a promising career in sports for a while, as the dog simply no longer had the energy. By then, I had no idea, that the root of all this evil could have been the dog food. I had already tried a lot of expensive and recommended name-brand products, just to get the same "result" again and again.
In the beginning of April 1998, our latest veterinarian gave us the choice of either taking the dog into his surgery every 4 weeks and paying about 150 DM for treatment and drugs (injections against the itching, pills for the pain from sores and as a precaution against inflammation, ointments and powder for the sores) or to have the dog put down. The latter I wanted to avoid no matter what. It was then that I remembered an advertisement of Köber placed in a SV journal. It promised dog food that helped with skin problems. Well, it seemed to be worth a try. On the same day, we made our way to Wattenscheid and were advised in detail. However, I was very suspicious. Of course, every salesman wants to sell his product, and I had already tried so many kinds of dog food - and was "taken for a ride". Nevertheless, I wanted to try.
We drove back home with a big bag of diet food, a big bag of "Supermix" and a big can of the "Kräutermischung". For four weeks, the dog got smaller portions of the diet-Supermix blend with a hint of Kräutermischung three times a day (in order to give his stomach a break, that was badly upset anyway), after that, he got his meals twice a day. I was really surprised to see my dog cheerfully eating every scrap in his bowl right from the beginning. Until then, I had only known him as a really poor and fastidious eater. Already after six weeks we could see first positive results. The eczemas healed, the skin recovered, his coat got thicker and shinier, the hair breakage disappeared, diarrhoea was gone after a few days and the dog became more balanced and much quieter. As he got stronger and more agile, I slowly started working with him in the dog sports arena after 3 months. After six months altogether I switched from the diet food to “Supermix” and the “Kräutermischung”. From that moment, the dog also got bull pizzles or larynxes occasionally. In the meantime, he is fed with the high performance food every now and then - which has turned out to be perfect for him. The photos in the second part show our dog as he looks today, nine, nearly ten months later. He is calm, balanced and resilient. He enjoys work and shows the sort of motivation that he never had before. His teeth look much better (the plaque has gone!), the "dog smell" has gone, and as a whole, the dog has filled out very well. Today, my dog and I are very successful in activities besides the "usual" (guard dog and tracking tests), namely in dog sports tournaments (cross-country race 2000m, 5000m, quadrathlon with slalom, hurdles, obedience and agility course) and I want this to last at any rate. Would the enormous improvement in my dog's health and the subsequent success in sports have been possible without switching over to Köber products? Hmh. I rather doubt this. When I think it over again and recall to mind the veterinarian's words about putting down, then I guess I definitely have to answer in the negative. It was really hard to believe that all our dog's health problems were only due to nutrition, and still today I am sometimes angry with myself that I didn't realise this earlier. Would I recommend Köber's dog food? Yes, I would. Without hesitation. I would recommend being very consistent in switching over to this food and, above all, to be strict with yourself (so no niblets of liver sausage or the like between meals), a little patience (nothing happens overnight), a little bit of simultaneous coat care including combing and brushing and no going back to old habits when the first positive results appear! Of course it might not be that easy to stick to this "diet" consistently for you and for the wellbeing of your dog, but it's definitely worth it!!!

With affectionate regards from a dog sport fan and a hearty "woof"!

Dear family Köber,

I would like to take this opportunity and tell you how satisfied we are with your food. Since we got to know you at the trade fair in Dortmund in 2002, we have been feeding our dogs with "Köber's Lamm & Reis" and "Köber's Reis mit Rind & Lamm", and to date our dogs have taken to them very well. I recommended your dog food to many of my own customers and they tell me exactly the same. Some even told me that their dog now eats every scrap in the bowl compared to former times when some food was always left. In addition, I recommend "Köber's Supermix GJ", "Köber's light" and the "Kräutermischung" for dogs suffering from diseases of the skin that are due to an allergy caused by feedingstuff, for dogs suffering from chronic itching, for dogs with a sensitive stomach (vomiting, diarrhoea) and for dogs that are overweight. Additionally, my wife noticed that we get by longer with a bag of "Köber's Lamm & Reis" than with the dry feeding of another brand. This may be due to the fact that the food swells through the addition of water. Another advantage is that your food is delivered directly to the end consumer; dog owners can order at your shop directly and in this way we avoid unnecessary storage costs and the risk of expiry through the storage in my surgery. Although I do order the food for some of my customers at your shop, this is a lot of work due to the numerous consumers. Another decisive advantage of your food is the processing in Germany and that it is possible to visit your place of production. Stick to the quality of your food, it is outstanding!
