Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Tendon Ligament Formula is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) formula that nourishes Liver Yin and Blood to support the health and resilience of tendons and ligaments in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on a modification of the classical Bu Gan Qiang Jin San (Zhuang Jin Jian Fang), this twelve-herb formula addresses the root of connective tissue weakness by replenishing the Liver Blood and Yin that nourish and maintain the tendons, while also warming and invigorating circulation to support structural integrity and mobility. Available in concentrated powder, concentrated capsules, standard powder, and teapills. Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation.

Tendon Ligament Formula combines a Liver Blood and Yin-nourishing base with warming, circulation-invigorating, and tendon-strengthening herbs to address both the root deficiency and the functional support of connective tissues:
Tendon Ligament Formula contains Blood-nourishing and Blood-moving herbs (Dang Gui, Chuan Xiong, Chuan Niu Xi) alongside Yang-warming herbs (Gui Zhi, Bu Gu Zhi, Yin Yang Huo) that may interact with certain medications. 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 anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, hormone-modulating drugs, anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs or corticosteroids), and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Tendon Ligament Formula is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Liver Blood and Yin deficiency affecting the tendons and ligaments. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets experiencing tendon or ligament weakness, stiffness, reduced flexibility, or slow recovery from connective tissue injuries rooted in Liver Blood deficiency failing to nourish the tendons. It is also used for active or athletic animals as ongoing support for connective tissue health and resilience. The manufacturer lists no contraindications or warnings 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 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, with the included small scoop holding approximately 0.25g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily.
Response time varies depending on the individual pet, the severity of the Liver Blood and Yin deficiency pattern, and the format used. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in flexibility, comfort, and mobility within 3 to 6 weeks of consistent use. The manufacturer recommends use as needed for up to 6 months. For chronic or long-standing connective tissue conditions, your veterinarian may recommend a longer course of treatment before evaluating results. Regular follow-up with your holistic veterinarian is recommended to monitor progress and adjust dosing as needed.
Tendon Ligament Formula is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive musculoskeletal support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly anti-inflammatory drugs, anticoagulants, or hormone-modulating drugs, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Tendon Ligament Formula is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. The manufacturer lists no contraindications or warnings for this formula.
