Vendor Spotlight: Kan Herb Company

At TCVM Pet Supply, our mission is to ensure the health and happiness of animals and promote Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). This goal harmonizes perfectly with Kan Herb Company's dedication to creating top-quality herbal remedies.

Our relationship is founded on the belief that holistic care, including herbal remedies, plays an integral role in promoting optimal health for pets.

Kan Herb Company's Sourcing

Kan Herb Company's strong commitment to selecting top-quality herbs and maintaining strict quality control aligns closely with our goals. Their careful methods in choosing and creating herbal products ensure they are potent, pure, and safe, honoring the rich traditions of Chinese herbal medicine.

Kan prioritizes uncompromising quality standards in making herbal products. First, they start by carefully checking, confirming, and testing raw herbal ingredients in the USA to guarantee top-notch quality right from the beginning. They choose  premium-grade, sulfur-free, wild-crafted, and organically grown herbs, rejecting any inferior or endangered species.

Then, upon arrival, herbs undergo meticulous inspection by licensed herbal consultants. The herbs are analyzed and compared to an extensive database (detailing over 300 Chinese herbs) for quality markers and specifications. You can learn more about Kan Herbs sourcing practices here.
