How Dang Gui Cong Rong Helps Impaction in Dogs, Cats, and Horses
At Natchez Trace Veterinary Services, Dr. Smith provides an Eastern exam (Traditional Chinese Medicine) in combination with the standard veterinary exam.
TCVM philosophy is very different than standard Western veterinary medicine philosophy.
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine focuses on attaining balance and finding the root cause of health problems rather than simply masking symptoms with prescription medicines.
Through Eastern examination techniques, Dr. Smith chooses herbal blends to treat your pet’s symptoms.
And, at the same time, the herbs correct the imbalances causing the symptoms.
Dang Gui Cong Rong is only one of the many TCM herbal blends available for Dr. Smith to choose from based on the results of the Eastern exam.
Dang Gui Cong Rong is a specially-formulated herbal blend to relieve symptoms of impaction and more, while at the same time addressing the underlying causes of the symptoms.

Do You Give Your Pet Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics?
If your dog or cat suffers any type of digestive disturbance, good digestive enzymes and probiotics are a must!
Digestive enzymes are also very important because of the way our food is processed and grown today.
In addition, older dogs often naturally lack the enzymes needed to properly digest their food.
Probiotics are a must after antibiotics and many other pharmaceuticals.
Why? Because antibiotics and other medicines kill off the good bacteria in the gut. Lack of good bacteria leads to a weakened immune system and possible overgrowth of yeast (yeast infections).
Some studies also show that supplementing with digestive enzymes and probiotics ease allergies by more completely digesting foods.
