Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Herbsmith Rx Kang Gu Zhen Sheng Wan supports tendon and joint comfort in dogs, cats, and horses through traditional Kidney and Liver nourishment, sinew support, and Blood movement. This nine-herb formula is selected for a veterinarian-confirmed deficiency pattern with stiffness, soreness, hindlimb weakness, or reduced flexibility. Shu Di Huang and Nu Zhen Zi supply nourishing support; Yin Yang Huo, Rou Cong Rong, and Gou Ji contribute traditional Yang support; Gou Ji, Gu Sui Bu, and Huai Niu Xi emphasize sinews and bones; Ji Xue Teng and Huai Niu Xi move Blood; Lai Fu Zi contributes digestive Qi regulation. Available as powder mixed into food; cats and dogs use the Canine Blend, while horses use the Equine/Horse Blend. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Mix the Canine Blend into food. If a horse initially refuses the Equine/Horse Blend, introduce a small amount in grain and gradually increase until accustomed to the taste, or as directed by your veterinarian. Confirm the dog dose at the overlapping 80 lb boundary. Existing numeric doses are preserved, not independently manufacturer-verified. Continue only for the prescribed duration, or as directed by your veterinarian; the subsequent schedule does not establish indefinite maintenance safety. Veterinary authorization and medication review are required. Stop administration and contact your veterinarian for suspected adverse reactions, unusual bleeding, persistent digestive upset, or worsening weakness.

Source confirmation: All nine ingredient designations are preserved from the current listing. Confirm complete species, plant parts, preparation details, and proportions against the manufacturer label. Ji Xue Teng's supplied name does not establish a single verified Spatholobus or Millettia source or reconcile the root-and-stem designation. Yin Yang Huo and Gu Sui Bu also require exact species confirmation. Prepared Rehmannia remains as named, with the actual preparation unverified. No highest-proportion claim is made without quantities. The prior translated patent-tablet name does not establish this powder's equivalence, dosage form, or an effect on bone overgrowth.

The nine herbs form overlapping nourishing, Yang-supporting, sinew-supporting, and Blood-moving layers, with Lai Fu Zi providing digestive Qi regulation. These traditional functions do not establish structural regeneration or guaranteed protection from adverse effects.
Herbsmith Rx Kang Gu Zhen Sheng Wan contains Blood-moving Ji Xue Teng and Huai Niu Xi, Epimedium and other Yang-supporting herbs, nourishing Rehmannia, and intestine-moistening Cistanche. Pets taking prescription medications should use the formula under veterinary supervision because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited. Horses taking prescriptions also require review. Traditional Blood movement and constituent findings do not establish a quantified anticoagulant, hormonal, or glucose effect for this finished preparation. Its warming and nourishing character calls for reassessment when active Heat signs or digestive intolerance are present.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant and antiplatelet medicines, hormonal medicines, corticosteroids, insulin and other antidiabetic medicines, immunosuppressants, laxatives or bowel-motility medicines, and multiple concurrent prescriptions. Discuss planned procedures and bleeding or glucose-control concerns before starting. Stop administration and contact your veterinarian for suspected adverse reactions, unusual bleeding, persistent digestive upset, or worsening weakness. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your animal's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
It supports a veterinarian-confirmed Kidney and Liver deficiency pattern with tendon and joint involvement, such as stiffness, soreness, hindlimb weakness, and reduced flexibility. Kidney and Liver here describe traditional functions, not proof of disease in those organs. The veterinarian evaluates tongue, pulse, thermal signs, mobility, and the underlying orthopedic, neurological, or other diagnosis rather than assuming age or weakness establishes the pattern.
Dogs and cats use the Canine Blend mixed into food. Dogs under 30 lbs receive ½ tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dogs 30-80 lbs receive 1 tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dogs 80-120 lbs receive 1½ tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dogs over 120 lbs receive 2 tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Cats receive ¼ tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Confirm the dog dose at the overlapping 80 lb boundary.
For a 1,000 lb horse using the Equine/Horse Blend, give two tablespoons twice daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. Continue the initial schedule for 20 days, or as directed by your veterinarian. Then give two tablespoons once daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. If initially refused, introduce a small amount in grain and gradually increase until accustomed to the taste, or as directed by your veterinarian. Continue only for the prescribed duration, or as directed by your veterinarian. The listed powder directions should not be converted to tablets based on the formula name.
Your veterinarian reviews comfort, limb strength, mobility, digestion, tolerance, tongue and pulse findings, and the underlying clinical condition. Fixed improvement or structural-recovery timelines and blanket long-term maintenance safety are not established. Continue only for the prescribed duration, or as directed by your veterinarian. Persistent or worsening weakness, digestive upset, or new Heat signs calls for reassessment. Sudden inability to stand, loss of coordination, or rapidly worsening signs needs prompt veterinary care.
This listing emphasizes constitutional nourishment with sinew support and Blood movement. Juan Bi San emphasizes Wind-Cold-Damp dispersal and channel warming in an appropriate Bi pattern. Deficiency and external-pattern features can overlap, so weather sensitivity or age alone does not decide between them. Your veterinarian selects the actual formula from the full assessment; do not combine products or assume that traditional bone-support terminology establishes treatment of bone overgrowth or structural degeneration.
