Available in concentrated powder and standard powder. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation.

Heart Yin Tonic is a nine-herb formula combining Heart and Lung Yin-nourishing herbs with Shen-calming, spirit-quieting, Qi-moving, and fluid-generating agents to address Heart Yin deficiency with Shen disturbance:
Heart Yin Tonic contains Yin-nourishing herbs (Mai Men Dong, Xuan Shen, Wu Wei Zi) alongside Shen-calming herbs (Suan Zao Ren Sheng, Yuan Zhi) and Qi-moving herbs (Chai Hu, Chen Pi, Dang Gui) that may interact with certain medications. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. 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 sedative or anxiolytic medications, cardiac medications, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. The manufacturer recommends use as needed for up to 6 months. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Heart Yin Tonic is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Heart Yin deficiency with Shen disturbance, where insufficient Heart Yin fails to nourish and anchor the Shen, leading to restlessness, anxiety, disturbed sleep, or behavioral signs of Shen disturbance. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets with anxiety-related patterns, restlessness, or systemic signs of Heart Yin deficiency with Shen involvement. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.
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 capsules, the general guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily when that format is available. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily is typical when that format is available. 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 large scoop holding approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. The manufacturer recommends use as needed for up to 6 months.
Suan Zao Ren (sour jujube seed) is available in two processing forms in Chinese medicine: raw (Sheng) and dry-fried (Chao). The raw form is more dispersing and has stronger Heat-clearing properties, making it better suited for patterns where Heat from Yin deficiency contributes to Shen disturbance and restlessness. The dry-fried (Chao) form is more astringent and warming, and is more commonly used for patterns of pure Blood and Yin deficiency without significant Heat. The use of Suan Zao Ren Sheng in this formula reflects the Heat component of Heart Yin deficiency patterns, where deficiency Heat is disturbing the Shen alongside the underlying Yin deficiency.
Heart Yin Tonic is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Heart and Shen support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly sedatives, anxiolytics, or cardiac medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Heart Yin Tonic is appropriate based on your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan.
