Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets experiencing excessive thirst, increased urination, weight loss, or systemic signs of Yin and fluid deficiency. The formula also addresses Kidney Essence deficiency and Liver Blood deficiency that commonly accompany chronic Xiao Ke patterns. The manufacturer lists no contraindications or warnings for this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is Xiao Ke Fang 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 capsules, the general guideline is 0.5g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily. For standard powder, the same weight-based guideline applies. For horses, the standard dose is 15g twice daily as a top dressing on feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to see results with Xiao Ke Fang?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResponse time varies depending on the individual pet, the severity of the Yin deficiency and Xiao Ke pattern, and the format used. Because this formula addresses deep Yin and Essence deficiency, consistent, longer-term use is typically needed. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in thirst, energy, and overall vitality within 4 to 8 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\u003ch3\u003eCan Xiao Ke Fang be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiao Ke Fang is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Yin deficiency or metabolic support protocol, but your authorizing veterinarian should always guide combination use. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly hypoglycemic drugs, hormone-modulating medications, or anticoagulants, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Xiao Ke Fang 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":"2026-07-27T14:19:19-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-27T14:19:18-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Back","Health_Need_Liver","Herb_Type_Capsule","Herb_Type_Powder","Jing Tang Xiao Ke Fang","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":11000,"price_min":11000,"price_max":11540,"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":45938257887302,"title":"0.5g Capsules (200 Count)","option1":"0.5g Capsules (200 Count)","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A2190C2-200","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":14046321311814,"product_id":8489454272582,"position":2,"created_at":"2020-06-04T03:58:19-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T11:57:14-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Xiao Huo Luo Dan 600g Powder - TCVM Pet Supply","width":1024,"height":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_1dcba5ec-30ab-4224-ae3c-2dae208d37b6.jpg?v=1631811434","variant_ids":[45938257887302]},"available":true,"name":"Jing Tang Xiao Ke Fang Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses - 0.5g Capsules (200 Count)","public_title":"0.5g Capsules (200 Count)","options":["0.5g Capsules (200 Count)"],"price":11540,"weight":454,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":null,"featured_media":{"alt":"Jing Tang Xiao Huo Luo Dan 600g Powder - TCVM Pet Supply","id":6219125981254,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_1dcba5ec-30ab-4224-ae3c-2dae208d37b6.jpg?v=1631811434"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}},{"id":45938257920070,"title":"200g Powder","option1":"200g Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A2190-200","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":14046337368134,"product_id":8489454272582,"position":1,"created_at":"2020-06-04T04:02:39-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T11:45:42-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Xiao Huo Luo Dan 600g Powder - TCVM Pet Supply","width":1024,"height":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder_f1a69940-3d2d-47e6-836c-4251a924f3cc.jpg?v=1631810742","variant_ids":[45938257920070]},"available":true,"name":"Jing Tang Xiao Ke Fang Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses - 200g Powder","public_title":"200g Powder","options":["200g Powder"],"price":11000,"weight":454,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":null,"featured_media":{"alt":"Jing Tang Xiao Huo Luo Dan 600g Powder - TCVM Pet Supply","id":6219142070342,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder_f1a69940-3d2d-47e6-836c-4251a924f3cc.jpg?v=1631810742"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder_f1a69940-3d2d-47e6-836c-4251a924f3cc.jpg?v=1631810742","\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_1dcba5ec-30ab-4224-ae3c-2dae208d37b6.jpg?v=1631811434"],"featured_image":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder_f1a69940-3d2d-47e6-836c-4251a924f3cc.jpg?v=1631810742","options":["Size"],"media":[{"alt":"Jing Tang Xiao Huo Luo Dan 600g Powder - TCVM Pet Supply","id":6219142070342,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder_f1a69940-3d2d-47e6-836c-4251a924f3cc.jpg?v=1631810742"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder_f1a69940-3d2d-47e6-836c-4251a924f3cc.jpg?v=1631810742","width":1024},{"alt":"Jing Tang Xiao Huo Luo Dan 600g Powder - TCVM Pet Supply","id":6219125981254,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_1dcba5ec-30ab-4224-ae3c-2dae208d37b6.jpg?v=1631811434"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_1dcba5ec-30ab-4224-ae3c-2dae208d37b6.jpg?v=1631811434","width":1024}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/2110\/5457\/files\/veterinary_authorizaton_required_for_tcvm_herbal_formulas_240x240.jpg?v=1787081808\" alt=\"Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply\" style=\"margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;

Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets experiencing excessive thirst, increased urination, weight loss, or systemic signs of Yin and fluid deficiency. The formula also addresses Kidney Essence deficiency and Liver Blood deficiency that commonly accompany chronic Xiao Ke patterns. The manufacturer lists no contraindications or warnings for this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is Xiao Ke Fang 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 capsules, the general guideline is 0.5g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily. For standard powder, the same weight-based guideline applies. For horses, the standard dose is 15g twice daily as a top dressing on feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to see results with Xiao Ke Fang?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResponse time varies depending on the individual pet, the severity of the Yin deficiency and Xiao Ke pattern, and the format used. Because this formula addresses deep Yin and Essence deficiency, consistent, longer-term use is typically needed. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in thirst, energy, and overall vitality within 4 to 8 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\u003ch3\u003eCan Xiao Ke Fang be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiao Ke Fang is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Yin deficiency or metabolic support protocol, but your authorizing veterinarian should always guide combination use. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly hypoglycemic drugs, hormone-modulating medications, or anticoagulants, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Xiao Ke Fang 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"}
