Natural Food Therapy - Pet Nutrition Consultations - Nationwide
I help pets feel better with tailored homemade diets, herbs, and mushrooms—especially when they struggle with appetite, digestion, or chronic illness. Virtual and Seattle-area consults available.
I’m Yuki Konno, a licensed veterinary technician since 2011 and a certified practitioner of veterinary western herbal medicine. After over a decade in emergency and specialty hospitals, I saw firsthand how many pets continued to suffer despite conventional treatments. That’s why I created Food Medicine for Animals—a service rooted in both science and nature.
Using your pet’s medical history, lab work, lifestyle, and current diet, I create fully customized food therapy plans that include nourishing homemade recipes, medicinal mushrooms, and gentle herbs to support healing. My goal is to restore vitality, improve quality of life, and give pet parents peace of mind—especially when nothing else seems to work.
I work virtually with clients across the U.S., and provide in-home consultations for those in the greater Seattle area. Many clients say they finally feel seen, understood, and supported in their pet care journey. You can read their stories at foodmedicineforanimals.com.
If you're ready to give your dog or cat a personalized, natural path to healing, I’d love to help.

Pricing Packages
We'll discuss your pet's unique health goals and concerns, then create a custom food therapy plan through online-meeting (Zoom or Google meeting).
If you have a homemade pet food recipe, I'll review it to ensure it meets all the nutritional needs of your dog or cat.
Here's how it works:
- Once your payment is processed, you'll receive an email address to send your recipe to.
- I'll then thoroughly review your recipe.
- Expect a detailed nutritional assessment within 3-4 business days.
Looking for a custom meal plan? If you'd like me to create a brand-new recipe tailored for your pet, please book an online consultation for $150.

Customer Reviews
I am really grateful for all the help that Yuki gave to me and my dog Rosie. She was diagnosed with pancreatitis and they told me to feed her Hills prescription digestive care ID food. My dog ate that food for 8 months and she will have episodes of vomiting with blood and diarrhea with blood. Also, she was so skinny and not getting better. I realized that food was not helping my dog to get better. I was really desperate praying to God to help me find a nutritionist. Doing a lot of search I found Yuki. she is a blessing form the sky. All the natural foods its being helping my dog to get better and better. I feel she is gaining weight and her stool is back to normal she is not throwing up blood any more. I really recommended Yuki. She was really patience with me and always heard my concerns and gave me answers to all my questions. Thank you Yuki. Rosie and I appreciate all your help.
