Chinese Herbal Medicine for Pets in Eugene, OR
Holistic Support for Whole-Body Wellness
At The Veterinary Hospital in Eugene, OR, we believe in treating the whole pet, not just their symptoms. That’s why we offer Chinese herbal medicine as part of our integrative approach to veterinary care. When combined with conventional treatments or other complementary modalities such as acupuncture or chiropractic, Chinese herbal therapy can offer safe and effective relief for various conditions.
Rooted in centuries of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), Chinese herbal medicine supports the body’s natural healing ability while addressing imbalances that may contribute to illness or chronic discomfort.
What Is Chinese Herbal Medicine for Pets?
Chinese herbal medicine uses natural plant-based formulas to promote balance and health within the body. These formulas are often composed of multiple herbs, each selected for their specific actions and combined to enhance one another’s effectiveness. Unlike conventional medications that often target one symptom, herbal therapies are designed to support overall vitality and long-term wellness.
Our veterinarians use carefully sourced, veterinary-specific formulations tailored to your pet’s individual needs, based on their condition, age, constitution, and diagnostic findings from Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Conditions We Treat with Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine can benefit both dogs and cats and is often used to treat:
- Chronic pain or arthritis
- Allergies and skin issues
- Digestive disorders (vomiting, diarrhea, IBD)
- Respiratory conditions (asthma, coughing)
- Urinary tract conditions
- Liver and kidney imbalances
- Anxiety and behavioral concerns
- Cancer support and immune system regulation
- Geriatric conditions and overall vitality
This gentle, holistic therapy may be used on its own or in combination with acupuncture, conventional medication, or dietary changes.
What to Expect During an Herbal Consultation
Our team begins each Chinese herbal medicine consultation with a comprehensive evaluation, including a physical exam, detailed medical history, and Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostics such as tongue and pulse assessments. From there, we select a custom herbal formula based on your pet’s presentation.
Herbs are typically provided in capsule, powder, or tincture form. Dosages are adjusted to your pet’s weight and condition, and we provide full guidance on administration and expected outcomes. Most pets tolerate herbal treatments well, and we closely monitor progress throughout their care plan.
