Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Hu Qian Wan is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that nourishes Yin, purges Fire, and strengthens tendons and bones to address Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency with deficiency Fire and sinew and bone weakness patterns in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on the classical Hu Qian Wan (Hidden Tiger Pill) from Dan Xi Xin Fa (Teachings of Zhu Dan-xi), written by Zhu Zheng-Heng in 1481, this eight-herb formula pairs a powerful Fire-purging chief (Huang Bai) with a principal Yin-nourishing deputy (Shu Di Huang), a dual-action Fire-purging and Yin-nourishing assistant (Zhi Mu), a Yang-tonifying and sinew-strengthening herb (Suo Yang), a Blood-nourishing and sinew-softening herb (Bai Shao Yao), a downward-guiding and bone-strengthening herb (Chuan Niu Xi), and two Spleen-protecting herbs (Gan Jiang, Chen Pi) to address both the root Yin deficiency and the deficiency Fire, sinew and bone weakness, and Spleen vulnerability that arise from long-term Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency. Available in concentrated powder (90g) or concentrated capsules (0.5g). Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Hu Qian Wan is an eight-herb formula organized around four functional layers: a Fire-purging chief (Huang Bai) paired with a Yin-nourishing and Fire-draining triad (Shu Di Huang, Zhi Mu, Bai Shao Yao), a Yang-tonifying and sinew-strengthening herb (Suo Yang), a downward-guiding and bone-strengthening envoy (Chuan Niu Xi), and a Spleen-protecting pair (Gan Jiang, Chen Pi):
Hu Qian Wan contains potent Fire-purging herbs including Huang Bai (phellodendron bark) and Zhi Mu (anemarrhena rhizome), alongside Yin-nourishing herbs including Shu Di Huang (prepared rehmannia root) and Bai Shao Yao (white peony root), a Yang-tonifying and Jing-nourishing herb Suo Yang (cynomorium stem), and a Blood-invigorating herb Chuan Niu Xi (cyathula root), which may affect hormone modulation, platelet activity, and drug metabolism. 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, cats, and horses remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include hormone-modulating drugs, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, immunosuppressive medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. When used as needed, the manufacturer recommends limiting use to up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Hu Qian Wan is indicated in TCVM for Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency with deficiency Fire and sinew and bone weakness, where Yin deficiency has allowed Fire to accumulate and the sinews and bones to lose their nourishment. Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for dogs, cats, and horses with hind limb weakness, musculoskeletal patterns rooted in Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency, or systemic signs of Yin deficiency with deficiency Fire affecting the lower body, particularly when accompanied by a red, dry tongue and a thin, rapid pulse. No contraindications are listed for this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Hu Qian Wan.
Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the 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, or as directed by your veterinarian. For 0.5g concentrated capsules, the guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix concentrated powder directly into wet or dry food at each meal. Capsules can be given directly or hidden in food or a soft treat. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.
Gan Jiang (dried ginger) and Chen Pi (tangerine peel) are included specifically to protect the Spleen from the cold, bitter actions of Huang Bai and Zhi Mu. In classical Chinese medicine, strong Fire-purging herbs like Huang Bai and Zhi Mu are cold and bitter in nature, and prolonged use without Spleen protection can damage Spleen Yang and cause digestive upset - which is why the stop-immediately warning for diarrhea and vomiting is included for this formula. By including Gan Jiang and Chen Pi, the formula supports digestion and allows the Fire-purging herbs to be used safely over the longer treatment course recommended for Yin deficiency patterns. This Spleen-protecting strategy is a classical formulation principle seen throughout the Chinese herbal tradition.
Hu Qian Wan is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Yin tonification and musculoskeletal support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly hormone-modulating or immunosuppressive medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Hu Qian Wan is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. No contraindications are listed for this formula, but stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.
