Additional Information
 This formula is for use with cats and dogs who are suffering with indigestion and exhibit the following symptoms: abdominal pain, a feeling of undue fullness after eating, heartburn, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, and excessive wind or gas. Indigestion may be either acute or chronic. Discomfort and distress are often caused by overeating, eating too rapidly, or not chewing properly. Overeating or eating frequently produces a feverish state in the system and overtaxes the digestive organs. It produces excessive acid and causes the gastric mucous membranes to become congested. Hyperacidity is usually the result. A dose of 1-2 droppers, 1-2 times per day should be adequate for cats and dogs under 30 lbs. This dose may be increased to 3-4 droppers, 3-4 times per day cats and dogs over 31 lbs. This formula should show results within hours for acute indigestion and within days for chronic indigestion if correctly prescribed and administered. 2 droppers full = 2 grams of Chinese herbs in decoction.

Formula explanation:
Due to the facts that cat's and dog's livers typically “have a surplus” and a replete liver easily assails the stomach, cats and dogs often suffer from indigestion, stomachache, and nausea. Therefore, within this formula, Chai Hu, Zhu Ru, and Zhi Qiao course the liver and rectify the qi. Zhu Ru, Ban Xia, Chen Pi, Sheng Jiang, Gan Cao, and Da Zao harmonize the stomach and downbear counterflow. Tai Zi Shen supplements the qi without damaging yin, while Zhu Ru and Huang Qin clear heat. Over the past dozen or so years in China, Tai Zi Shen has become an increasingly popular substitution for Dang Shen (Radix Codonopsis). Tai Zi Shen boosts the qi but also engenders fluids. Because they have a “pure yang” constitution and yin does not become fully mature until middle age, this ingredient helps protect the yin of the body from either the ill effects of depressive or damp heat and acrid, windy-natured qi-rectifying ingredients.
