Safety of chinese skullcap and black catechu?

I needed to get more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, MSM for my dogs, and accidentally bought a brand that had 250mg of Chinese Skullcap (root) (Scutellaria baicalensis) and Black Catechu (wood) (Acacia catechu). Are they safe for dogs? I can't find anything definite online.

It also has hyaluronic acid 3.3 mg, glucosamine HCl 1500 mg, MSM 1500 mg, and Chondroitin sulfate sodium 200 mg. The amounts are for 3 pills. How many per day would I give my 70 and 76 pound dogs? Thanks!

Amy, I don't know about the Skullcap or Catechu but will look that up.

Meanwhile, maybe this Cat & Dog Drug Dosage Calculator can help with the dosage.

I do not know about these drugs. They may be safe but I just can't say. Is there some sort of symbol that guarantees purity? Some herbs are contaminated with other chemicals so you have to be careful!
