I brought my puppy to Dr. Wen on a recommendation from a good friend who takes excellent care of her dogs. My pup has a mild case of puppy mange and my regular vet almost killed her with his treatment, so I decided to try the holistic route. I bought herbs from Dr. Wen for $148!! The directions said to give 3 pills in the morning and 2 at night. My puppy is very sensitive (even though she's 40 pounds already) so I decided to try 1 pill at first. Within minutes, she was broken out in hives and choking on her tongue because it was swelling up! I called Dr. Wen on his cell phone and I have to say he did answer right away. When I explained the situation, he said that it was NOT the herbs, and that she had to have been stung by a bee. When I told him that she hadn't been outside, she was in my kitchen, he still refused to admit to the fact that my dog was allergic to his herbs. I brought her to a normal vet for IV Benadryl and her hives are slowly going away (it's been 2 days now). I'm going to try and return them, hopefully they will take them back. Staff was nice to me and my puppy, but I doubt I will be returning. I have since found a vet who is treating my pup for her issue with conventional medicine. I felt like he just wanted to sell me herbs...and they're FAR from cheap. Beware.
