The formula simultaneously nourishes Yin, clears deficient Heat, tonifies Kidney Yang, and supports the bones and sinews, making it appropriate for the mixed Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency patterns often seen in aging animals with chronic musculoskeletal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHow is Di Gu Pi San administered and dosed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFor horses, give 3g (2.5 large scoops) of powder twice daily as a top dressing on feed, or as directed by your veterinarian. For dogs and cats using the 90g Concentrated Powder, give 0.1g to 0.25g (0.5 to 1 small scoop) per 10 to 20 lb body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For the 0.5g Concentrated Capsule format, give one capsule per 20 to 40 lb body weight twice daily; for small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, give one 0.2g concentrated capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix powder into food or hide capsules and teapills in a soft treat. After the initial treatment period, use as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWhat is the TCVM steaming bone pattern and how does Di Gu Pi San address it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe steaming bone pattern (Gu Zheng) in TCVM refers to the deficient Heat that arises when Yin is insufficient to cool and anchor the Yang. In animals, this manifests as low-grade warmth in the joints and limbs, restlessness, heat-seeking or heat-sensitive behavior, night sweating, and chronic low-level inflammation in the bones and channels. Di Gu Pi San directly addresses this pattern through its chief herb Di Gu Pi (Wolfberry root bark), which specifically clears deficient Heat from the Blood and bones, alongside Sheng Di Huang, Mu Dan Pi, and Huang Bai to reinforce the cooling and Heat-clearing actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHow does Di Gu Pi San differ from other Kidney tonic formulas for joint support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMany Kidney tonic formulas for joint support are predominantly warming (Yang-tonifying), making them appropriate for Cold bi syndrome with stiffness that worsens in cold, damp conditions. Di Gu Pi San is distinguished by its prominent Yin-nourishing and deficient Heat-clearing layer, making it most appropriate for animals whose joint discomfort has a Heat component - warmth in the joints, worsening at night, or occurring in animals with Yin deficiency signs. It includes both Kidney Yang tonics (Du Zhong, Bu Gu Zhi) and Yin tonics (Shu Di Huang, Sheng Di Huang) for a balanced approach, suitable for the mixed presentations common in aging patients.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-23T17:15:30-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-23T17:15:28-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Back","Health_Need_Bone_And_Joint","Health_Need_Pain","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Herb_Type_Powder","Herb_Type_Teapill","Jing Tang Di Gu Pi San","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":5055,"price_min":5055,"price_max":18150,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":45926385090630,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"C2034C-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":14182797836358,"product_id":8486367985734,"position":3,"created_at":"2020-07-02T10:52:30-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T11:53:53-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Di Gu Pi San Concentrated 0.2g Capsules #50 -

The formula simultaneously nourishes Yin, clears deficient Heat, tonifies Kidney Yang, and supports the bones and sinews, making it appropriate for the mixed Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency patterns often seen in aging animals with chronic musculoskeletal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHow is Di Gu Pi San administered and dosed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFor horses, give 3g (2.5 large scoops) of powder twice daily as a top dressing on feed, or as directed by your veterinarian. For dogs and cats using the 90g Concentrated Powder, give 0.1g to 0.25g (0.5 to 1 small scoop) per 10 to 20 lb body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For the 0.5g Concentrated Capsule format, give one capsule per 20 to 40 lb body weight twice daily; for small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, give one 0.2g concentrated capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix powder into food or hide capsules and teapills in a soft treat. After the initial treatment period, use as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWhat is the TCVM steaming bone pattern and how does Di Gu Pi San address it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe steaming bone pattern (Gu Zheng) in TCVM refers to the deficient Heat that arises when Yin is insufficient to cool and anchor the Yang. In animals, this manifests as low-grade warmth in the joints and limbs, restlessness, heat-seeking or heat-sensitive behavior, night sweating, and chronic low-level inflammation in the bones and channels. Di Gu Pi San directly addresses this pattern through its chief herb Di Gu Pi (Wolfberry root bark), which specifically clears deficient Heat from the Blood and bones, alongside Sheng Di Huang, Mu Dan Pi, and Huang Bai to reinforce the cooling and Heat-clearing actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHow does Di Gu Pi San differ from other Kidney tonic formulas for joint support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMany Kidney tonic formulas for joint support are predominantly warming (Yang-tonifying), making them appropriate for Cold bi syndrome with stiffness that worsens in cold, damp conditions. Di Gu Pi San is distinguished by its prominent Yin-nourishing and deficient Heat-clearing layer, making it most appropriate for animals whose joint discomfort has a Heat component - warmth in the joints, worsening at night, or occurring in animals with Yin deficiency signs. It includes both Kidney Yang tonics (Du Zhong, Bu Gu Zhi) and Yin tonics (Shu Di Huang, Sheng Di Huang) for a balanced approach, suitable for the mixed presentations common in aging patients.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
