Heart Qi Tonic is a ten-herb formula combining Heart and Spleen Qi-tonifying herbs with Blood-nourishing, Blood-invigorating, Shen-calming, and channel-warming agents to address Heart Qi deficiency with Blood stagnation:
Heart Qi Tonic contains Qi-tonifying herbs (Huang Qi, Dang Shen, Fu Ling) alongside Blood-invigorating herbs (Chuan Xiong, Dang Gui) and channel-warming herbs (Rou Gui) that may interact with certain medications. Do not use in patients with Yin deficiency. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include cardiac medications, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, immunosuppressive medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. The manufacturer recommends use for up to 6 months. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Heart Qi Tonic is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Heart Qi deficiency with Blood stagnation, where insufficient Heart Qi fails to move Blood through the Heart channel, leading to Blood stagnation, Shen disturbance, and signs of Heart channel weakness. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets with cardiovascular patterns rooted in Heart Qi deficiency, or systemic signs of Qi deficiency with Blood stagnation affecting the Heart. Do not use in patients with Yin deficiency.
Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation. For dogs and cats using 0.5g concentrated capsules, the general guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g concentrated capsule once daily is typical. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs twice daily, with the small scoop holding approximately 0.4g and the large scoop holding approximately 1.2g. For the whitefish-flavored tincture, the dose for small dogs and cats is 10 drops per 5 to 10 lbs of body weight twice daily, with each full dropper holding approximately 20 drops; store refrigerated for best results. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily. The manufacturer recommends use for up to 6 months.
Heart Qi Tonic is a warming, Yang-tonifying formula built on Qi-tonifying herbs (Huang Qi, Dang Shen) and channel-warming herbs (Rou Gui). In patients with Yin deficiency, the warming and Yang-tonifying nature of the formula can aggravate the existing Yin deficiency, generate additional Heat, and worsen Shen disturbance and restlessness. Patients with Yin deficiency and Shen disturbance are better served by Yin-nourishing and Shen-calming formulas such as Heart Yin Tonic. Your holistic veterinarian will assess your pet's specific pattern to determine whether Heart Qi Tonic or a Yin-nourishing formula is the most appropriate choice.
Heart Qi Tonic is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Heart and cardiovascular support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly cardiac or anticoagulant medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Heart Qi Tonic is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan.
