Suo Quan Wan is an herbal formula that helps manage incontinence in dogs. But what really is dog incontinence and why is this a problem?
Incontinence in dogs is a common issue, especially in older and elderly dogs. The hallmark of this illness is the inability to regulate urine or feces, which can cause unintentional leaks or accidents.
Before we talk about the fix, it’s important we understand what dog incontinence is.
Incontinence in dogs can be brought on by a number of diseases, hormone imbalances, nerve injury, aging, or other causes as well.
Although it can be an unpleasant and distressing issue for pet owners to cope with, incontinence can be effectively managed with the right management and treatment, allowing dogs to enjoy happy and healthy lives.
We’ll dive deep into the herbal treatment for canine incontinence in this post so you can learn more about it and support your furry companion as they cope with its symptoms.

The Eastern/Western Exam
At our clinic, pets receive an Eastern (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) exam in combination with the standard veterinary exam. Just so you know, TCVM exams are different from standard Western veterinary exams.
For example, TCVM focuses on balance and finding the cause of the problem rather than simply masking symptoms.
Through an Eastern examination, we choose herbal blends that not only treat symptoms but also correct imbalances which led to the illness.
Suo Quan Wan is one of the many TCVM herbal blends Dr. Smith uses based on the Eastern exam.
