Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets experiencing digestive sluggishness, loose stools, reduced appetite, nausea, fatigue, or weight loss associated with a weak Spleen. It is also used for pets with phlegm-related respiratory or digestive symptoms where the underlying cause is Spleen Qi deficiency failing to properly transform fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is Six Gentlemen administered, and what are the recommended doses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation. For dogs and cats using 0.5g concentrated capsules, the general guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily is typical. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs twice daily - the included small scoop holds approximately 0.3g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to see results with Six Gentlemen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResponse time varies depending on the individual pet, the severity of the Spleen Qi deficiency pattern, and the format used. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in appetite, digestion, energy, and stool consistency within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. The manufacturer recommends use as needed for up to 6 months. For chronic or long-standing Spleen Qi deficiency conditions, your veterinarian may recommend a longer course of treatment before evaluating results. Regular follow-up with your holistic veterinarian is recommended to monitor progress and adjust dosing as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Six Gentlemen be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix Gentlemen is frequently used as a foundational Qi-tonifying formula in TCVM and is sometimes combined with other formulas to address more complex patterns, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications - particularly corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or gastrointestinal medications - your veterinarian will evaluate whether Six Gentlemen is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. The manufacturer lists no contraindications or warnings for this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-27T17:07:55-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-27T17:07:54-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Immune","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Jing Tang Six Gentlemen","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":4750,"price_min":4750,"price_max":13730,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":45938490835014,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A3020C-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":14011518287942,"product_id":8489488056390,"position":1,"created_at":"2020-05-31T02:57:30-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T11:51:49-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Six Gentlemen Concentrated 90g Powder -

Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets experiencing digestive sluggishness, loose stools, reduced appetite, nausea, fatigue, or weight loss associated with a weak Spleen. It is also used for pets with phlegm-related respiratory or digestive symptoms where the underlying cause is Spleen Qi deficiency failing to properly transform fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is Six Gentlemen administered, and what are the recommended doses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation. For dogs and cats using 0.5g concentrated capsules, the general guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily is typical. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs twice daily - the included small scoop holds approximately 0.3g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to see results with Six Gentlemen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResponse time varies depending on the individual pet, the severity of the Spleen Qi deficiency pattern, and the format used. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in appetite, digestion, energy, and stool consistency within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. The manufacturer recommends use as needed for up to 6 months. For chronic or long-standing Spleen Qi deficiency conditions, your veterinarian may recommend a longer course of treatment before evaluating results. Regular follow-up with your holistic veterinarian is recommended to monitor progress and adjust dosing as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Six Gentlemen be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix Gentlemen is frequently used as a foundational Qi-tonifying formula in TCVM and is sometimes combined with other formulas to address more complex patterns, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications - particularly corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or gastrointestinal medications - your veterinarian will evaluate whether Six Gentlemen is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. The manufacturer lists no contraindications or warnings for this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
