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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Does TCVM Pet Supply Carry Kan Herb Products?

We value Kan's focus on traditional herbal knowledge, ingredient sourcing, quality testing, and education. Those priorities complement our commitment to holistic pet care.

What Does Kan Herb Company's Quality Testing Cover?

Kan describes testing for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contaminants. Its testing and methodologies page explains the processes. Quality testing checks contaminants; it does not prove every formula's effectiveness or suitability for every pet.

How Do I Choose a Kan Herbal Formula for My Pet?

Start with your veterinarian's assessment rather than choosing by symptoms alone. A TCVM evaluation considers your pet's overall pattern. Also share current medications, supplements, and health history before selecting a formula.
