Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Jie Gu San is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that tonifies Kidney Yang, Qi, and Blood and supports bone health to address Kidney deficiency patterns affecting the musculoskeletal system and bones in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on the classical Jie Gu San from Zhong Shou Yi Xue (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, written by Yu Chuan in 1979), this thirteen-herb formula combines Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening herbs (Bu Gu Zhi, Gu Sui Bu, Xu Duan, Shu Di Huang) with Qi-tonifying herbs (Dang Shen, Huang Qi, Bai Zhu), Blood-nourishing and Blood-invigorating herbs (Dang Gui, Ru Xiang, Mo Yao, Chuan Niu Xi), and channel-unblocking agents (Sang Zhi, Mu Li) to address both the root Kidney deficiency and the structural support needs of the bones and joints. Available in concentrated powder (90g) or concentrated capsules (0.5g or 0.2g). May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Jie Gu San is a thirteen-herb formula from the TCVM veterinary tradition, organized around three functional layers: a Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening core (Bu Gu Zhi, Gu Sui Bu, Xu Duan, Shu Di Huang), a Qi-tonifying middle Jiao support layer (Dang Shen, Huang Qi, Bai Zhu), and a Blood-nourishing and channel-unblocking layer (Dang Gui, Ru Xiang, Mo Yao, Chuan Niu Xi, Sang Zhi, Mu Li):
Jie Gu San contains Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening herbs including Bu Gu Zhi (psoralea fruit), Gu Sui Bu (drynaria rhizome), and Xu Duan (teasel root), alongside Qi-tonifying herbs including Dang Shen (codonopsis root), Huang Qi (astragalus root), and Bai Zhu (white atractylodes rhizome), and Blood-invigorating herbs including Ru Xiang (frankincense), Mo Yao (myrrh), Dang Gui (Chinese angelica root), and Chuan Niu Xi (cyathula root), which may affect platelet activity, immune modulation, and hormone balance. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs, cats, and horses remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, hormone-modulating drugs, immunosuppressive medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs, and resume only after consulting with a veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Jie Gu San is indicated in TCVM for Kidney Yang and Qi deficiency with Blood deficiency affecting the musculoskeletal system and bones, where insufficient Kidney Yang and Essence leads to weakness of the bones, tendons, and connective tissue. Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for dogs, cats, and horses with bone and joint patterns rooted in Kidney deficiency, including those recovering from musculoskeletal injury or managing chronic bone and joint conditions, particularly when accompanied by a pale, weak tongue and a deep, weak pulse. No contraindications are listed for this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Jie Gu San.
Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the small scoop holds approximately 0.3g, and the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. 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 0.2g concentrated capsules, cats and small dogs under 10 lbs receive one capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix concentrated powder directly into wet or dry food at each meal. Capsules can be given directly or hidden in food or a soft treat. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs, and resume only after consulting with a veterinarian.
This formula may be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. As a Kidney-tonifying and bone-supporting formula addressing a deficiency pattern, Jie Gu San is suited for longer-term use, particularly for pets with chronic musculoskeletal or bone health patterns. Regular follow-up with your holistic veterinarian is recommended to monitor progress and adjust dosing as the pattern evolves.
Jie Gu San is specifically formulated for musculoskeletal and bone health applications, combining Kidney Yang-tonifying herbs with a strong emphasis on bone-specific herbs (Gu Sui Bu, Bu Gu Zhi, Xu Duan), Qi-tonifying middle Jiao support (Dang Shen, Huang Qi, Bai Zhu), and Blood-invigorating and channel-unblocking agents (Ru Xiang, Mo Yao, Chuan Niu Xi, Sang Zhi). This makes it distinct from formulas like Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, which focuses on warming Kidney Yang within a Yin-nourishing base without the bone-specific and channel-unblocking emphasis. Your holistic veterinarian will determine the most appropriate formula based on your pet's specific TCVM pattern, pulse, and tongue findings.
