Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Jin Gui Shen Qi is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) formula that tonifies the Kidney and warms Yang to address Kidney Yang deficiency patterns in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on the classical Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, one of the foundational Kidney Yang-tonifying formulas in Chinese medicine, this eight-herb formula combines a Yin-nourishing base with small amounts of Yang-warming herbs to gently warm and tonify Kidney Yang without damaging Yin. Available in concentrated powder, concentrated capsules, and teapills. Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation.

Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan is an eight-herb formula built on the Liu Wei Di Huang Wan Yin-nourishing base, with the addition of Fu Zi and Rou Gui to gently warm Kidney Yang. This classical structure reflects the principle that Yang must be rooted in Yin, and that Kidney Yang is best tonified by warming within a Yin-nourishing foundation:
Jin Gui Shen Qi contains Kidney Yang-warming herbs (Fu Zi, Rou Gui) alongside Yin-nourishing herbs (Shu Di Huang, Shan Zhu Yu, Shan Yao) and Dampness-draining herbs (Ze Xie, Fu Ling) that may interact with certain medications. Use with caution in patients with Blood Deficiency or Yin Deficiency, as the warming herbs may aggravate these conditions. Do not use during pregnancy. This formula may cause positive drug test results; consult your veterinarian before use in competition animals. 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 hormone-modulating drugs, cardiac medications, diuretic medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Jin Gui Shen Qi is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Kidney Yang deficiency, where insufficient Kidney Yang leads to Cold signs, weakness in the lower body, and impaired Kidney governing functions. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets with Kidney Yang deficiency patterns affecting the urinary system, musculoskeletal system, or overall vitality. Do not use during pregnancy, and use with caution in patients with Blood Deficiency or 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 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; the included small scoop holds approximately 0.3g, and the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily. The manufacturer recommends use for up to 2 months.
The manufacturer notes that this formula may cause a positive drug test, likely because it contains Fu Zi (prepared aconite) and Rou Gui (cinnamon bark), which contain alkaloids and other compounds that may be detected by equine or canine competition drug-screening panels. If your horse or dog competes in regulated events, consult your veterinarian and the relevant governing body before administering this formula. Withdrawal times and testing thresholds vary by sport and governing organization.
Jin Gui Shen Qi is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Kidney Yang support protocol, but your authorizing veterinarian should always guide combination use. Do not use during pregnancy. Use with caution in patients with Blood Deficiency or Yin Deficiency. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly hormone-modulating or cardiac medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Jin Gui Shen Qi is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan.
