From Dietary Worries to Daily Joys: A Wholesome Dinner Table with Dalcan and Melk

I’ve always been interested in Eastern medicine and herbal remedies, and wanted to support my dog’s health from within.
However, having prescriptions individually prepared at a traditional herbal pharmacy felt like a high barrier, so I began searching for a way to incorporate it into daily life more easily and sustainably.

At the time, I was dealing with two concerns.
One was Darukan’s poor appetite.
Even when I prepared homemade meals, he wouldn’t eat rice, and the more I tried to balance his nutrition, the more frustrating it became when he still wouldn’t eat.

The other concern was their individual health conditions.
Darukan had a history of urinary stones and was under ongoing monitoring for his heart, while Meruk had sensitive skin and was prone to pyoderma.
Amid these concerns, it was a relative who introduced us to "Wanko Dashi."

For me, wanting to incorporate yakuzen more easily into daily life, this dashi was an appealing option that could be seamlessly added to everyday meals.

To be honest, I never expected to see such changes after continuing to incorporate "Wanko Dashi" into our routine.
By simply rethinking their daily meals, I feel that their health has gradually improved from within.

• Darukan’s transformation
  The most significant change we’ve noticed is in his appetite.
  He now eats rice well—something he barely touched before.
  His stool condition has also become more stable, and I’ve come to feel that he’s digesting his food properly.
  In addition, I’ve started to notice gradual improvements in his coat, which had been a concern as he got older.
  During checkups, the values that once worried us have stabilized, and we’ve even received encouraging feedback from the veterinarian.
• Meruk’s transformation
  Since reviewing his diet, I feel that his skin condition has become more stable.
  He used to be prone to pyoderma, but now it seems much more under control than before.
  This experience has made me truly appreciate the importance of supporting the body fro
  m within.

At our house, we serve dry food in the morning and homemade food at night, and I'm grateful that this can be easily incorporated into both.

1. Risotto
   Risotto, made with plenty of broth, is a staple. It's easy to digest and helps with hydration.
2. Arranged dishes
   I use the dashi packet powder in various ways, such as mixing it with ground meat for hamburgers or combining it with rice flour to make okonomiyaki-style dishes.
   The wonderful aroma of the broth makes a difference in their appetite.
   Meals have become a time we can enjoy together, and the mealtime itself has become a more precious moment.
