Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for dogs, cats, and horses showing signs of musculoskeletal stiffness, hind limb weakness, or back soreness associated with Kidney and Liver deficiency and Cold stagnation, particularly when accompanied by a pale tongue and a deep, weak pulse. Do not use in patients with Yin deficiency signs (excessive thirst, panting, or heat intolerance).

For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. 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 small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
