Based on a modified Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang, this formula works to tonify Kidney Yang, dispel Wind, Damp, and Cold, invigorate Qi and Blood, warm the channels, and resolve stagnation, addressing the combined deficiency and bi syndrome patterns that underlie joint stiffness, back weakness, and reduced mobility in cold or damp conditions. Available in a 200g Powder, 90g Concentrated Powder, 0.2g Concentrated Capsules (100 count), 0.5g Concentrated Capsules (50 count), and Teapills (200 count).

Dok's Formula works through complementary layers of Kidney Yang tonification, Wind-Cold-Damp dispersal, and Qi and Blood invigoration, with additional warming and draining herbs unique to this modification of Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang:
Dok's Formula contains Blood-moving herbs (Dang Gui, Chuan Xiong, Chuan Niu Xi) and warming Yang tonics (Rou Gui, Bu Gu Zhi, Ba Ji Tian, Wu Yao, Rou Dou Kou, Xiao Hui Xiang). Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs, cats, and horses remains limited. Do not use in patients with Yin deficient signs such as excessive thirst, panting, or heat intolerance, as the formula's warming nature may exacerbate these patterns.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, hormone or endocrine therapies, immunosuppressive drugs, and multiple concurrent prescription medications. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or vomiting. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on the patient's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

Dok's Formula is used in TCVM to address Kidney Yang deficiency with concurrent Wind-Cold-Damp bi syndrome - a pattern common in aging dogs, cats, and horses with joint stiffness, lower back weakness, hind limb difficulty, and reduced mobility that worsens in cold or damp weather. It is based on a modification of the classical Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang (Angelica and Loranthus Decoction) from Sun Si-Miao's Qian Jin Yao Fang (652 AD), with additional warming and Qi-moving herbs tailored to the Jing Tang clinical modification.
For horses, give 3g (2.5 large scoops) of concentrated powder twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For dogs and cats using the 90g Concentrated Powder, give 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lb body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For capsule formats, give one 0.5g concentrated 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. Use as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Dok's Formula is a strongly warming formula containing multiple Kidney Yang tonics and warming herbs including Rou Gui (Cinnamon bark), Wu Yao (Lindera root), Rou Dou Kou (Nutmeg), and Xiao Hui Xiang (Fennel). In patients with Yin deficiency - characterized by excessive thirst, panting, heat intolerance, dry coat, or restlessness - these warming herbs may aggravate the existing Heat and dryness. Ze Xie (Water Plantain) is included to balance the formula's warming nature, but this is insufficient to make the formula appropriate for true Yin deficient presentations. A different formula targeting Kidney Yin or Yin-Yang balance would be more appropriate for those patients.
The classical Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang includes herbs such as Sang Ji Sheng (Loranthus), Qin Jiao (Gentiana), Xi Xin (Asarum), Ren Shen (Ginseng), Fu Ling (Poria), and Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia) for a broad Kidney-Liver tonic and bi syndrome formula. Dok's Formula is Jing Tang's modification, which substitutes and adds warming Qi-moving herbs - Rou Dou Kou (Nutmeg), Xiao Hui Xiang (Fennel), and Wu Yao (Lindera) - and includes Ze Xie (Alisma) to drain accumulated Damp. This makes it more targeted toward Cold-dominant bi syndrome with significant Qi stagnation in the channels, particularly in the lower back and hindlimbs.
