TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
My name is Sammy McLauchlin, I am disabled and have a service dog, who is a German Shepherd named Toots. Toots developed a problem with her digestive tract, and EVERYDAY started throwing up. Of course I was alarmed and took her to the vet more than once. The Dr. put her on different medications. No change. We started trying all the "recommended" dog foods (Science Diet, Iams, etc.). She was not able to digest these foods at all, and continued to throw up on a daily basis. These foods I mentioned are supposed to the "very best."

It was by chance that I came upon "My Champs" and I wanted to take the time to write you and thank you for being there! Toots immediately got better. She stopped throwing up the very first day on My Champs. I was so happy, as Toots was practically on her way to K State for tests. My Champs is the best dog food out there!
My only disappointment is that it is not readily available in pet stores or Veterinarian offices. It should be the number one selling item in these areas! I pay a little more for "My Champs", but if you love your pet, or like me, depend on a service dog who is my constant companion and friend, it is well worth the price to have the best care for your pet. "My Champs" is the best!
Again, thank you for being there and providing me with the real quality food for my dog.
Sincerely,
Sammy McLauchlin


I have 11 dogs and they all eat My Champs from the toy breeds to the giant breeds.
I have a Chinese Crested, Sheltie, 2 mixed Med dogs and 7 Danes. I like their coat and have 2 Danes that are picky eaters. I do tracking, obedience, conformation and agility as well as therapy with the Danes and herding with the Sheltie. My oldest Dane will soon be 10 years old.
I hardly ever need to go to the vet except for shots and thyroid tests, which have been coming back good.
One of my large male Danes was vomiting his food every 2 to 3 days, but now seldom does it since feeding My Champs.


At five weeks of age, we had a litter of six puppies that broke out with severe skin problems. They were on antibiotics, which did not help. Soon they had dime size sores all over. A second Vet opinion resulted in a diagnosis of a depressed immune system that caused a sever case of puppy acne. They sent us home with more antibiotics! Instead of using them, we went to a health food store where we heard about a product made by a man named Pete Gehrt. After Pete learned of our problem, he came to our home to see the puppies and to help us. We started the puppies on My-Champs Puppy Food and a "tea" made from STP by STP probiotics (which we applied to the puppies twice a day for 10 days. The first few days, they actually looked worse. Then overnight, or so it seemed, the puppies skin was clear and they had beautiful hair and coats. The puppies shipped at eight weeks with no evidence that they ever had a problem.
We are most grateful to Pete Gehrt and his STP by STP products and that he cared enough to help. Needless to say, Pete Gehrt is "MY-CHAMP" and we are still feeding "My-Champs" adult and puppy food.

Dear Pete,
This is a letter to tell you how pleased I am with My-Champs Dog Food. I first discovered your dog food about 3 years ago. I had been struggling with health problems with Greta, an adopted adult female German Shepherd. She had open sores on her skin and in her ears that would not heal, bad smelling breath, mouth ulcers and an itchy face with oozing pores on her muzzle. After seeing several vets, she was on several different kinds of steroids over a period of 6 months. A tentative diagnosis of discoid like lupus (immune mediated skin disease) was made.
By chance, some dog training friends told me about your food. I was impressed by your label and the fact that the ingredients were all natural, containing beneficial bacteria (STP probiotics). I also like the fact that your food is preserved without the use of commercial preservatives, using vitamin E instead. While talking to you about My-Champs and the benefits of the bacteria to any dog (or person), I told you of Greta's condition. You suggested that if I switched her to your food, we should add additional STP probiotics, which you provided to us. This made sense because her natural micro flora had been affected by all of the antibiotics. I was hesitant, but after talking to my vet, we decided I had nothing to lose. I wanted to stop the antibiotics and steroids. At this point, we had little hope for Greta. She had lost a lot of weight because of the ulcers in her mouth.
After only one week on My-Champs, her breath did not smell so bad and her mouth ulcers began to heal! Over the next 3 weeks, the mouth ulcers all but disappeared and her appetite increased. Because the mouth ulcers disappeared, we continued feeding the food with the beneficial bacteria. Next, the skin also began to heal, no longer oozing. Her face stopped itching. She does still have scars where the ulcers were, but her coat looks great. We seem to be able to keep this disease in check as long as she is on My-Champs. Before trying My-Champs, I was feeding a well known expensive name brand dog food. I maintain that it is the STP probiotics, beneficial bacteria in My-Champs that got her healthy and has kept her healthy.
I now feed My-Champs to all 3 of my dogs and I recommend it to all of my friends.
Sincerely,
Melinda K. Dalby
P.S. I thought you might want to see the gang you have been feeding over the years so I have included a picture of Greta (left)(steroid free) and the rest of the gang.


Dr. Moreland D.V.M. of a Small Animal Clinic and Breeding Kennel uses My-Champs in her own breeding kennels and the clinic. Dr. Moreland say's "I love My-Champs in both places."


Dr. Deam and Dr. Kern D.V.M., owners of a veterinary clinic in Junction City, Kansas say "As long as we can get My-Champs, we don't need any other feed."

"Due to the flood of '93, the fungal infection that affected dogs baffled everyone. We found by feeding My-Champs with Micro-Inoculants was by far the most successful as it builds up the immune system of the dog and lets the animal fight it off naturally."

"With Sam (Samantha, yes she's a girl) being our first pup we had no idea of what to feed her. When you go to the local pet store or Walmart, they always try to sell you the most expensive dog food, but do not tell you why it is more and if they do, the only reasoning is because it is a brand name. That is the extent of information one receives from these places. Audie and Pete are the most knowledgeable people I know when it comes to dog food. My Champs dog food has been a blessing for Sam. She is a Beagle, which is a breed that tends to get overweight. With My Champs, and adequate exercise, Sam has stayed trim and in shape. She is the best pup anyone could ever ask for. You know how they say good cooking is the way to a mans heart? Well, My Champs is the way to a pups heart."

Thank you My Champs,
From Andy, Melanie, and especially Sam!!



As a health professional, I'm always concerned with making healthy choices for my family. That, of course carries over to "man's best friend," my Brittany, Abby. We have fed Abby My Champs dog food for the past three years. At ten years old she still has abundant energy, is very healthy over all and still out hunts the best of them. I am impressed with the knowledge of nutrition used to formulate My Champs. The company really understands it takes special formulas for different aged dogs, just as we as humans have special dietary needs at various ages. A Big thank-you to the folks at My Champs for making Abby a "Real Champion"!!

I am convinced that this feed has added years to my dog's life. I literally watched my 10 year old Shorthair nearly die from a seizure while hunting (Jan 2000). Several months later I started him on My-Champs. One year after his seizure, his stamina in the field has doubled. The microbials in My-Champs have also cleaned his teeth in a way that I did not think was possible.

My-Champs puppy formula also saved the life of a "pound puppy" we got last winter. He nearly died from a kennel born virus. Even antibiotics from the vet didn't help. The pup did make a come back though just days after we got him started on My-Champs.

Even our family cat eats it!

I demand a lot from my Dobermans: Obedience, Tracking, the Breed Ring and Schutzhund. To compete at top level, they must have the top nutrition available. My Dobes eat My-Champs. I always tell people you can tell how good your dog food's nutrition is by your dog's coat. Even under the extreme stress I put on the Dobes, they go right into the breed ring without any supplements, now that I feed My-Champs. I've never been able to obtain coats like they have now, even on the blue and fawn Dobes.

"Luke," our Golden Retriever always had bad breath. Vet's said "there was nothing we could do." After eating My-Champs for one week, it was gone. We went out of town for a week and he ate Science Diet at the Kennel. When we got home his breath was bad again, but after a week of his My Champs it was good again. The micro-organisms in this food have balanced out his stomach. Bo, our black Lab had a dull flaky coat. After eating My-Champs, his coat is now shiny and there is no flaking.

We have also had another major benefit. NO fleas! Last year this time, I was shaving Luke. His stomach looked like rush hour traffic with fleas. The only change we made is our dog food. There are two ingredients to combat fleas, garlic and brewers yeast. So far, so good and its almost the end of July.

I can't say enough good about this food and if they could type I'm sure they couldn't either. They are healthy looking dogs and they really love their dog food.

Bird hunting is my life during the winter months and I rely on my dogs to pull their share of the load during the hunt. Over the years, I have had English Pointers, German Wirehaired Pointers and German Short haired pointers all on self feeders. They average less than a pound of food per day and stay fit to hunt whenever I'm ready.

Being in the Army, I have traveled from Alabama to Alaska with my Standard Poodles and have tried almost every quality dog food sold. My Poodles are picky eaters, especially Ceasar, who has to be starving before he'll eat most prepared dog food. Since my arrival in Kansas, I've tried several brands of dog food, but Ceasar refused to eat and kept losing weight. I have to be careful when changing dog food because standard poodles are prone to fatal abdominal condition(bloat). Since I started feeding them My Champs, both dogs have gained 10-20 lbs, their coats are shiny, their coats are shiny and endurance has increased and Keely gave birth to a beautiful litter. These are the fastest and best results I've seen in 15 years of showing and training dogs.

Thank You,

In the fourteen years weve raised quality puppies, we have never found a better food. We feel that the condition of our mothers and puppies is very important and My Champs Puppy Food is top-of-the-line. Stp by Stp maintains quality ingredients that do not vary with grain prices, and the bacteria in the food aids in our animals health. When we switched to My Champs several years ago, we definitely saw changes in our animals coats as well as in their behavior and attitude. It was actually quite remarkable. You will not find a better food that My Champs! We highly recommend it!

I've been feeding your "MY CHAMPS" Adult and Supreme dog foods for about 5 years and I thought you might like to know of my experiences with your brand.

I operate a guide service in South-central Kansas and maintain a string of 10 to 15 hard working hunting dogs of all breeds. As you can imagine, I have used several brands over my 30-plus years of hunting and guiding. Your "MY CHAMPS" brand has been the only food that actually maintained weight and stamina of my string of dogs through the rigors of hunting. In addition, your food has made a tremendous difference in several dogs that had previously experienced "allergies". I have seen dogs that suffered from loss of hair to obvious allergy symptoms like red ear canals and weepy eyes regain their health after changing them to your feed.

I have recommended your food to others that have pets with allergy symptoms and these folks report the allergies have disappeared. In my experience, the benefits of feeding your "MY CHAMPS" brand seem to reach across all breeds and ages of dogs. I want to thank you for providing a great dog food at a reasonable price.

MY-CHAMPS is formulated to be 100% nutritionally complete and meets the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO dog food profile for growth and reproduction. This has been achieved by blending dozens of vitamins, herbs and minerals while excluding soy protein which many other dog foods use as an ingredient. Learn more about the ingredients in MY-CHAMPS.

The ever increasing focus on health and nutrition causes all of us to take a hard look at what we put in our bodies. Thankfully, our diets are getting healthier and healthier (if we make the right choices)! Obviously, our dogs rely on us to make the right decisions when it comes to selecting their feed. What is less obvious is that many of us don't really know why we buy the food we buy. What are your reasons? A lot of dog food is bought because it costs less than other brands. Some people buy because they like the commercials they see. Unfortunately few really take the time to understand what their dog's nutritional needs are and whether their feed satisfies their needs.

Take a moment to answer these questions. Your answers will determine whether or not your dog's needs are being satisfied.
  • Does your dog have bad breath?
  • Does your dog show symptoms of digestive irregularities (usually following meals)?
  • Does your dog stop frequently or infrequently while doing its chores outside?
  • Is your dog a finicky eater?

By using microbial inoculants in conjunction with the nutritionally balanced food, your dog will be able to better digest, absorb and utilize the nutrients, thus creating less waste. When fed consistently, the microbial inoculants in MY-CHAMPS serve to cleanse the digestive tract, thereby alleviating many common "gas" problems and bad breath.
