Di Gu Pi San is an herbal blend for helping arthritis and joint pain in dogs, cats, and horses.
Arthritis and joint pain in dogs or any of your pets is no joke. As a pet owner, you’ll have a hard time figuring out if your furry companion is okay. Animals have a cunning way in concealing their pain.
As they age, canine arthritis or feline arthritis will eventually come into play. But of course, a lot of factors are at play such as daily activities, weight of dog, breed, etc.
Before arthritis progresses, it’s best to have a regular checkup with your vet and consider some herbals as treatment starts, such as Di Gu Pi San.
But, will it help? If so, how?
The next sections of the article will answer these questions.
Will Di Gu Pi San Help Your Pet?
Di Gu Pi San might be a good choice if your pet suffers from the Western conditions of:
- Arthritis
- Degenerative joint disease
- Intervertebral disc disease
- Chronic joint pain
- Hip dysplasia
- Rheumatism
Actually, Di Gu Pi San is Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal blend.
In other words, it is really meant to treat TCVM conditions. However, TCVM looks at health challenges in a different way than Western medicine does.
TCVM looks for and analyzes the root cause of health conditions rather than looking for a diagnosis. So, you’ll probably see some unusual indicators.
The TCVM indications for Di Gu Pi San are:
- Chronic Bony Bi-Syndrome due to Kidney Yin and Qi Deficiency
- Preferring coldness
- Stiffness that worsens with Heat conditions
- Dry skin and hair coat
- Thready, weak pulse
- Red, dry tongue

And, at the same time, the herbs correct the imbalances causing the symptoms.
However, Di Gu Pi San is only one of the many TCVM herbal blends available for Dr. Smith to choose from based on the results of the Eastern exam. The Eastern exam may uncover roots causes better helped by a different herbal blend.
