Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Jin Gui Shen Qi is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal 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 from Jin Gui Yao Lue Fang Lun (Synopsis of Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet, written by Zhang Zhong-Jing in 220 AD), this eight-herb formula combines the Liu Wei Di Huang Wan Yin-nourishing base (Shu Di Huang, Shan Zhu Yu, Shan Yao, Ze Xie, Fu Ling, Mu Dan Pi) with small amounts of Yang-warming herbs (Fu Zi, Rou Gui) to gently warm and tonify Kidney Yang without damaging Yin. Available in concentrated powder (90g), concentrated capsules (0.5g or 0.2g), or teapills (200 count). Use for up to 2 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Do not use during pregnancy. Use with caution in patients with Blood Deficiency or Yin Deficiency. This formula may cause positive drug test results. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

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. The formula is organized in two functional layers: a principal Yin-nourishing and Kidney-tonifying group (Shu Di Huang, Shan Zhu Yu, Shan Yao) and a Dampness-draining, Heat-clearing, and Blood-invigorating group (Ze Xie, Fu Ling, Mu Dan Pi), with Fu Zi and Rou Gui added to warm Yang within this balanced Yin-nourishing foundation:
Jin Gui Shen Qi contains Kidney Yang-warming herbs including Fu Zi (prepared aconite root) and Rou Gui (cinnamon bark), alongside Yin-nourishing herbs including Shu Di Huang (prepared rehmannia root), Shan Zhu Yu (cornelian cherry fruit), and Shan Yao (Chinese yam rhizome), and Dampness-draining herbs including Ze Xie (alisma rhizome) and Fu Ling (poria mushroom), which may affect cardiac function, hormone balance, diuretic action, and platelet activity. 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, cardiac medications, diuretic medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Do not use during pregnancy. Use with caution in patients with Blood Deficiency or Yin Deficiency, as the warming herbs may aggravate these conditions. This formula may cause positive drug test results; consult your veterinarian before use in competition animals. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Jin Gui Shen Qi is indicated in TCVM for Kidney Yang deficiency patterns, where insufficient Kidney Yang leads to Cold signs, weakness in the lower body, and impaired Kidney governing functions. Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for dogs, cats, and horses showing signs of Kidney Yang deficiency, including low back and hind limb weakness, cold extremities, urinary patterns associated with Kidney deficiency, or systemic Yang deficiency signs, particularly when accompanied by a pale, wet tongue with a white coat and a deep, weak pulse in the rear position. Do not use during pregnancy. Use with caution in patients with Blood Deficiency or Yin Deficiency. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Jin Gui Shen Qi.
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. For 0.2g concentrated capsules, cats and small dogs under 10 lbs receive one capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix concentrated powder directly into wet or dry food at each meal. Capsules and teapills can be given directly or hidden in food or a soft treat. Use for up to 2 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.
The manufacturer notes that this formula may cause a positive drug test result, likely because it contains Fu Zi (prepared aconite root) 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. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly hormone-modulating, cardiac, or diuretic medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Jin Gui Shen Qi is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. Do not use during pregnancy, and use with caution in patients with Blood Deficiency or Yin Deficiency.
