Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets with chronic or recurrent skin hypersensitivity, itching, or inflammatory skin conditions where the underlying pattern involves deficiency rather than pure Excess. It is particularly well-suited for pets whose skin conditions have become chronic and are rooted in Yin and Blood deficiency failing to nourish and moisten the skin. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is Wu Shen San 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, with the included small scoop holding approximately 0.3g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, with the large scoop holding approximately 1.2g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to see results with Wu Shen San?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResponse time varies depending on the individual pet, the severity of the Yin and Blood deficiency and Damp-Heat pattern, and the format used. Because Wu Shen San addresses a deficiency-rooted pattern, consistent longer-term use is typically needed. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in itching, skin comfort, and coat quality within 3 to 6 weeks of consistent use. The manufacturer recommends use as needed for up to 6 months. Regular follow-up with your holistic veterinarian is recommended to monitor progress and adjust dosing as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Wu Shen San be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWu Shen San is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive skin and immune support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or hepatic medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Wu Shen San is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-27T14:45:50-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-27T14:45:47-05:00","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 Wu Shen San","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":11440,"price_min":11440,"price_max":13600,"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":45938322276422,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A2048C-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":14011774435398,"product_id":8489458630726,"position":1,"created_at":"2020-05-31T03:34:23-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T11:51:27-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Wu Shen San Concentrated 90g Powder -

Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets with chronic or recurrent skin hypersensitivity, itching, or inflammatory skin conditions where the underlying pattern involves deficiency rather than pure Excess. It is particularly well-suited for pets whose skin conditions have become chronic and are rooted in Yin and Blood deficiency failing to nourish and moisten the skin. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is Wu Shen San 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, with the included small scoop holding approximately 0.3g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, with the large scoop holding approximately 1.2g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to see results with Wu Shen San?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResponse time varies depending on the individual pet, the severity of the Yin and Blood deficiency and Damp-Heat pattern, and the format used. Because Wu Shen San addresses a deficiency-rooted pattern, consistent longer-term use is typically needed. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in itching, skin comfort, and coat quality within 3 to 6 weeks of consistent use. The manufacturer recommends use as needed for up to 6 months. Regular follow-up with your holistic veterinarian is recommended to monitor progress and adjust dosing as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Wu Shen San be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWu Shen San is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive skin and immune support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or hepatic medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Wu Shen San is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
