Our encounter with Wanko Dashi

The first time I learned about “Wanko Dashi” was at a local market. The purpose was for our previous dog, Fuchan, a Poodle who was 12 years old at the time. Fuchan, who was supposed to turn 13 in two days, had a chronic heart condition. As she entered her senior years, her appetite decreased, and she stopped drinking much water. Her family, heartbroken, was searching for anything she might eat or drink when they discovered “Wanko Dashi.” When they offered her a sample at the market booth, Fuchan, who had previously shown no interest in water, drank it down with gusto. It was a moment of hope, like a ray of light, right before her family’s eyes. That sight sealed their decision to buy it, and thus began the story of “Wanko Dashi.” This habit, started for Fuchan, eventually became a beloved staple meal that supports Rai-kun’s health.

How I Use Dashi for My Dog

  1. Nourishing meals with a special soup-based dish
    Our go-to meal at home is a special soup made with "Wanko Dashi."
    We gently simmer chicken or pork together with dog-friendly dried vegetables in the dashi, creating a rich, aromatic, and nutrient-packed soup.
    We then generously pour it over dry food, making every meal both delicious and nourishing.
  2. Making the most of every ingredient
    After preparing the dashi, we take out the nutrient-rich ingredients from the pouch and mix them directly into his meal, allowing him to enjoy the full nutritional benefits of the ingredients without any waste.
  3. Easy everyday use with freezer storage
    We freeze the soup in ice cube trays after making it in batches. This makes it easy to use just the right amount each day when preparing his meals.
    Rai tends to have a sensitive stomach, especially during seasonal changes, so we gently warm the homemade soup before serving it to support his digestive health.
    We also use it as a special drink on days when his water intake seems low, such as during the colder months.

Why I Continue "Wanko-dashi"

We continue to choose "Wanko Dashi" because of the sense of reassurance it gives us when we put our dog's health first.

  • Hydration and calorie consideration
    We used to give goat milk to keep our dog hydrated, but we were always concerned about the calories.
    With "Wanko Dashi," we don’t have to worry about that—it allows us to provide plenty of hydration with complete peace of mind, which has been incredibly helpful.
  • A commitment to being additive-free you can trust
    Many commercially available pet foods and treats contain additives and artificial flavorings, which had always been a concern for us.
    In contrast, "Wanko Dashi" is made using only natural ingredients, making it a trustworthy choice that aligns with our desire to avoid giving our dog anything unnecessary.
  • A comforting dashi aroma that delights even the owner
    When we prepare "Wanko Dashi," the kitchen fills with a rich, appetizing aroma of dashi.
    That scent brings me a sense of calm and makes the cooking process something I truly look forward to.
    It’snot just satisfying formy dog—it feels like it nourishes the one preparing it as well.
  • Aligned with our philosophy on health
    As someone who incorporates herbal medicine and traditional wellness practices into my daily life, I naturally resonated with the veterinarian-supervised approach behind "Wanko Dashi."
    Beyond its taste, there is a reassuring philosophy that gives me confidence—and makes me want to continue choosing it.

For those about to try Wanko Dashi

Because it's something your beloved dog will eat, I can wholeheartedly recommend it to those who are concerned about additives.
And above all, its greatest charm is its versatility.
It pairs well with any ingredient, whether meat or fish, and doesn't overpower the natural flavors, so I think it's truly wonderful that you can arrange it into various soups to suit your mood or your dog's condition on any given day.
