Qi Lin San Helps With Behavioral Urination Problems in Dogs, Cats and Horses

Mixture of herbals for inappropriate urination in pets.

What is Qi Lin San?

Qi Lin San is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine herbal blend for urinary dribbling and behavioral urination problems in dogs, cats, and horses.

Qi Lin San helps pets with the Western medical conditions of:

  • Urinary dribbling
  • Behavioral urination problems.

However, Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) looks at diseases and health challenges a little differently.

The Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine indications for Qi Lin San are:

  • Behavioral urination problems
  • Fullness and/or discomfort at the lower abdomen
  • A pulse that is wiry
  • Qi-lin syndrome
  • A tongue that is purple
  • Urinary dribbling

How Qi Lin San Helps Behavioral Urination Problems

At our clinic, pets often receive an Eastern (TCVM) exam in combination with the standard veterinary exam.

Eastern philosophy is very different than our standard Western medical philosophy.

TCVM focuses on balance and finding the cause of the problem 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 correct the imbalances in your pet’s body causing the symptoms.

Qi Lin San is only one of the many TCM herbal blends available for Dr. Smith to choose from based on the results of the Eastern exam.

Qi Lin San is a specially-formulated herbal blend. The herbs all work synergistically to relieve symptoms of urinary dribbling and behavioral urination problems.

And, at the same time, the herbs address the underlying causes of the symptoms.

The Chinese principles of treatment for Qi Lin San are:

  • Soothe the Liver
  • Move Qi

What Ingredients Are in Qi Lin San?

The main ingredients in the Qi Lin San herbal formula are:

  • Bai Shao Yao (Paeonia) to soothe Liver and nourish Liver Blood/Yin
  • Chen Pi (Citrus) to move Qi
  • Dang Gui (Angelica) to move Blood and nourish Liver Blood
  • Deng Xin Cao (Juncus) to clear heat
  • Hua Shi (Talc) to drain Damp-Heat
  • Qing Pi (Citrus) to soothe Liver Qi
  • Shi Wei (Pyrrosia) to Drain Damp-Heat
  • Wang Bu Liu Xing Zi (Raw) (Vaccaria) to move Blood and resolve stagnation
  • Wu Yao (Lindera) to move Qi
  • Xiang Fu (Cyperus) to move Qi
  • Xiao Hui Xiang (Foeniculum) to warm Liver and Kidney


Our clients have seen wonderful improvements with their pet health challenges using herbal blends.

TCVM herbal blends help with a variety of health issues.

Please contact our clinic at any time if you have questions about herbal remedies!

Looking for an Herbal Formulation for Diabetes in Cats?

Why Use an Herbal Formulation for Diabetes in Cats? I remember my first experience giving a cat insulin shots. It was years ago, and I was pet sitting for a friend. Giving kitty an insulin shot would be easy, she said. Just give him a little tuna and give him a shot. That’s it! NOPE. To say the least, giving the kitty a shot didn’t happen quite the way she described it. What she didn’t tell me was how much kitty hated the shot. Or, how fast I’d need to inject to avoid getting scratched! Let’s face it, insulin injections
