The yuko range
Three ways to bring balance.
Two herbal dog foods where meat leads and the herbs change with the job, one for the stomach, one for the skin and coat. And one herbal mushroom powder for dogs and cats that goes on top of any bowl.
Hover over (or tap) a pouch to see what's hiding inside.

What is TCVM?
Old wisdom that holds its own against modern nutrition science
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine has used food as medicine for well over a thousand years. Western nutrition science is brilliant at measuring a bowl. TCVM asks a different question: how does this food behave inside this particular dog?
Western nutrition scienceTCVM food therapy
Starts with
The nutrient label: protein, fat, fibre, vitamins and calories.
The dog in front of you: body type, age, temperament and the season.
Reads food by
Its chemistry: what is in it, in grams.
Its energy too: warming, cooling or neutral, and which part of the body it supports.
Itchy, red skin
Swap proteins, add omega-3s, or treat the itch.
Look for "heat" in the body. Cool it with cooling foods and herbs, and cut back heating ingredients.
Loose, smelly stools
Bland diet, fibre and probiotics.
Strengthen a weak digestion that holds on to "damp" with easy-to-digest food and drying herbs.
The goal
Meet nutrient requirements and treat disease.
Keep the body in balance so problems are less likely to start.
Where science is catching up
Researchers now study many of the same ingredients TCVM has used for centuries: functional mushrooms, fibre-rich seeds, yucca, and plant antioxidants like those in hawthorn and citrus peel.
Food first, every day
Medicine is for when something goes wrong. TCVM treats every meal as a chance to keep things right, which makes the bowl the most powerful tool you have.
Why we use both
Every yuko bag meets the modern bar (32% protein minimum, a full guaranteed analysis, two live probiotics) and then adds herbs measured to the milligram.
TCVM works best alongside your vet, not instead of them. If your dog is unwell, please see a veterinarian.
What's inside
Every gram, on the label.
Switch gently
Take at least a week.
Mix a little more new food each day so the stomach can keep up. Keep fresh water out, keep the bowl clean, and feed two or three times a day at set times.

Questions
What owners ask us first.
My dog got diarrhea the last time I switched food.
Any change can upset a sensitive stomach. Switch over at least a week with the 25/50/75/100 plan above, and keep fresh water out.
My dog is a picky eater.
That's why the 7-Day Taste Guarantee exists. Fresh chicken and beef lead the recipe, and most dogs come to the bowl for that.
How long until I see a difference?
Stools often settle in the first couple of weeks. A coat takes longer, since new hair has to grow in. Give it a month.
Are the herbs safe for dogs?
Each herb is measured in milligrams per kilo and listed on the bag. If your dog has a medical condition, show the label to your vet first.
Which formula should I choose?
Stomach trouble: Digestive Care. Skin and coat trouble: Coat Care. Both are complete daily food.
