According to traditional Chinese medicine terminology the condition of  Kidney and Urinary stones is a pattern that we call "shi lin"  which literally translates to the words "painful urination due to stones".

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) explains the formation of  bladder/kidney stones to be the result of the preexistence of pathological heat as well as additional internal  dampness.

This unbalance  may cause a dog to become vulnerable to the weakening of the Bladder ( this is the TCM Kidney system and always remember this is a metaphorical language and not the real Kidney!).

As the bladder continues to  weakens,  a further progression of the disharmony will then  cause the urine to decoct into the formation of stones and crystals.

The other big problem as we see it,  and it is a well-known fact,  that once there is a formation of bladder or kidney stones, it's most likely that a dog will continue to develop and form stones for the rest of his or her life! Sad but true.

To help you,  we offer a natural approach using Chinese herbs and our formula is called Urinary Free the Flow Formula. We are extremely excited that we offer this product and do so with confidence. We have helped many pet owners to actually directly observe the ease and comfort in which their stone-prone pooch can past water with these effective Chinese herbals. These herbs help by naturally promoting urination and by freeing the flow of urine, because this formula supports your pet's natural ability to dispel stones!

PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS & CHINESE MEDICINE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Western Medical Approach: Dog (kidney and bladder stones) are two conditions that often occur together. In western medicine, if these two conditions are asymptomatic, treatment may not be necessary, as risks often outweigh the benefits. If symptomatic, alkalization of the urine may be effective for uric acid stones, but not for other types of stones. In most cases, dog kidney and dog bladder stones can only be treated with invasive treatments such as surgery or ultrasound disruption therapy.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Approach: Dog kidney and bladder stones are two conditions that may be successfully treated with herbs.  By cooling and drying the "damp-heat",  herbal therapies can naturally support the flow of urine.  Depending on your pooch's internal environment and imbalances, the duration of treatment ranges from days to months.

As always we encourage you to work with your veterinarian  at all times and communicate all supplements you may be giving your pet.
