Ayush™ Pet Stress+ Ashwagandha Capsules for Cats and Dogs are an Ayurvedic adaptogen rooted in thousands of years of traditional use. Known in Sanskrit as "the herb that imparts the strength of a horse," ashwagandha is one of the most highly regarded Rasayana (longevity and rejuvenation) herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. While grounded in Ayurveda, holistic veterinarians often recommend it alongside TCVM protocols because its calming, tonifying, and immune-supporting actions complement the Heart (Fire), Kidney (Water), and Spleen (Earth) meridians.
Ashwagandha acts as an adaptogen, helping the body maintain balance during stress and supporting multiple organ systems. Holistic veterinarians often use it alongside TCVM protocols for the following reasons:

Ashwagandha is most effective during periods of occasional stress, when cognitive and immune support is needed, and for maintaining healthy lipid and glucose metabolism already within the normal range. Its key constituents - withanolides - play an important role in its ability to promote physical and mental health.
Ayush™ Pet uses a unique extraction method specially designed to preserve the active essences of this powerful herb. Ashwagandha can be used on a long-term daily basis without risk of side effects and is considered a dosha balancer in Ayurveda - meaning it works to restore equilibrium regardless of your pet's constitution, much like a TCVM Qi tonic works to restore balance across meridians.
Ayurveda in veterinary medicine has long focused on animal welfare, treatment therapies, and holistic management. Ayush Herbs designed their pet supplements to support animals from head to paw while promoting optimal health and performance. Their formulations match the quality of their human-based line, meet or exceed stringent requirements, and have been endorsed by holistic practitioners across the United States, Canada, and India. No animal testing has been performed with any of their products.
Stress+ Ashwagandha is a daily Ayurvedic adaptogen capsule for dogs and cats. It contains ashwagandha (Indian Ginseng), one of the most widely used Rasayana herbs in Ayurvedic medicine, formulated to support calm, immunity, brain health, thyroid function, and overall vitality.
While rooted in Ayurveda, holistic veterinarians often recommend ashwagandha alongside TCVM protocols. Its calming, Shen-stabilizing actions complement the Heart meridian (Fire Element); its longevity and adrenal support parallel Kidney Jing and Yang (Water Element); and its immune-tonifying properties align with Spleen Qi support (Earth Element).
This supplement may be especially helpful for pets experiencing anxiety, noise or separation distress, age-related cognitive changes, immune challenges, or thyroid imbalances. It is suitable for long-term daily use and is considered safe when used as directed.
You can give capsules directly or hide them in food. Dosing is based on body weight: 1 capsule once daily for pets under 30 lbs, 1 capsule twice daily for pets 30-60 lbs, and 2 capsules twice daily for pets 60-90 lbs. Consult your holistic or TCVM veterinarian for guidance specific to your pet's health needs.
