Related to the Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin (Gastrodia and Uncaria Drink) framework, this eleven-ingredient combination brings together Wind-extinguishing Tian Ma and Gou Teng, Yang-anchoring Shi Jue Ming, Heat-clearing Zhi Zi and Huang Qin, and complementary nourishing, Blood-moving, descending, and Shen-calming ingredients. Your authorizing veterinarian confirms whether Liver Yang rising with internal Wind fits your pet's presentation alongside a complete neurological assessment. Available as a powder in the Canine Blend for both dogs and cats, mixed into food. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. This formula is adjunctive support, not a rescue treatment or a replacement for prescribed anticonvulsants.

Related to the Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin (Gastrodia and Uncaria Drink) framework, this eleven-ingredient combination brings together Wind-extinguishing Tian Ma and Gou Teng, Yang-anchoring Shi Jue Ming, Heat-clearing Zhi Zi and Huang Qin, and complementary nourishing, Blood-moving, descending, and Shen-calming ingredients. Your authorizing veterinarian confirms whether Liver Yang rising with internal Wind fits your pet's presentation alongside a complete neurological assessment. Available as a powder in the Canine Blend for both dogs and cats, mixed into food. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.
