Potential Drug Interactions
Three Seeds Combination contains several potent Chinese herbs, including aromatic Damp-resolving herbs and Qi-moving herbs with known effects on digestive and respiratory function. Because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited, pets taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision.
Extra caution may be appropriate for pets receiving diuretics, gastrointestinal medications, respiratory medications, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether Three Seeds Combination is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
After evaporating off the alcohol, do I add water or administrator as is? Lost my vets instructions...
Thank you for your question!
While the herbal extracts can be given as-is, some vets recommend strategies to make them more palatable.
Here are a couple of those strategies:
1) Add water or broth to the herbal extract.
2) Small doses can be hidden in canned food or ground meat
3) If your pet takes pills, you can add the herbal extract to a capsule.
4) Simmer the extract in a pan on very low heat to evaporate off the alcohol. Initially, the aroma of alcohol will be strong - once it becomes barely detectable, remove the liquid from the heat and replace it in the bottle. Then, refrigerate the bottle.
We hope these ideas help increase the palatability of herbal extracts for your pet! -
My dog was recently diagnosed with pancreatitis after what seemed to be an acute onset. However, she probably had it for a while and was undiagnosed. I wanted to see if three seeds combination would be appropriate for her. My vet knows nothing about non-traditional holistic methods and would be unable to authorize. If this is appropriate for my dog what are the directions for getting the product? Thanks you!
