Kan Essentials Glehnia and Rehmannia Combination (Yi Guan Jian)

Is this a good herb for an elderly dog with reflux. She refluxes upon rising from lying down and cannot eat anything except royal canin recovery. We have her on cerenia every nite and carafate, as well as dispel stasis in the middle palace.

Thank you for your question! Kan Essentials Glehnia and Rehmannia Combination is designed to support animals with liver and yin deficiencies. This herbal combination can support animals with peptic ulcers. Please check with your TCVM vet (or let us know if you need one) to see if this formula can support your pet with reflux or if another formula may be better. We do require a veterinary authorization for herbal purchases, which you can request here: https://tcvmpet.com/pages/get-an-authorization. Thank you for supporting Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine!

Could this help an 8 year old cat with kidney disease and hyperthyroidism ? My cat didn’t tolerate his hyperthyroid medication (Methimazole) well so we had to take him off of it . He’s been off of it for a month now and is doing well. He gets subQ fluids 2-3x/wk and is on a kidney diet.

Thank you for your question! It's great to hear your cat is doing well! Glehnia and Rehmannia Combination is mainly recommended for pets with Liver blood and Yin deficiency. Other herbal formulas made by Kan that help with didney issues and hyperthyroidism are Rehmannia Eight Combination, Spleen Support Formula, and APR Nourishing Formula. It's possible one of these other formulas may be more appropriate for your cat's situation. Please check with your holistic vet to see what they recommend. They will be able to recommend the right formula for your situation. When you're ready to request authorization to purchase, please fill out this form. Thank you for your interest in Chinese herbs!

Can this be used with other products, like a calm chew? This would be for a 1yr old, hyperactive shelter rescue with possible separation issues.

Thank you for your question! It is safe to use this product with other supplements and food therapy regimens. If you'd like to learn more about options for calming, you can check out Shen Calmer, Beef Heart Treats, and Energetically Cooling Dog Food.
