The honest verdict
When Yuna isn't the right choice.
If your dog is on a prescription diet
Royal Canin Veterinary and Hill's Prescription Diet have clinically validated formulas. We don't claim to replace a prescription.
If you've been feeding raw for a while
Raw has its merits. If you've nailed your ratios and nutrients, we don't have much to add.
If your dog is extremely picky
As commitment, we recraft the recipe each box based on your feedback · protein, ratio, portion, format. At no cost. We keep going until it fits.
