Let’s talk about getting your pet on mushrooms—no, not those mushrooms! As far as the mushroom benefits for dogs go, natural fungi, like turkey tail and reishi, offer a wide range of health benefits for your dog from helping with their allergies to boosting their immune system and fighting cancer.
Mushrooms play a big role these days when it comes to holistic healthcare for your dog. With all the common health concerns dogs face, especially as they age, it makes sense to look into ways to help them be their happiest, healthiest selves. Here are some of the most common reasons why you should try mushroom supplements for your dog:
Mushrooms have tons of great benefits for dogs. Just take a look at a few of the specific ways they can help your pup!
We offer several mushroom supplements for dogs—cordyceps, turkey tail, reishi, maitake D-fraction—as well as a high potency seven mushroom blend. Each has its specific benefits, and you will learn more as you explore our website. All are fantastic ways to naturally support your dog’s health!
We use specific mushrooms for specific reasons. As examples, we use turkey tail and maitake-D fraction for cancer, and reishi for liver problems or chronic infections. For broad immune support, there is no better supplement than our 7-mushroom high-potency blend. If you have a question about the best mushroom supplements for dogs, please reach out to me at ktomandvm@gmail.com and I’ll be happy to help.
The most common side effects of the natural mushroom extracts that we carry are simply GI upset, usually diarrhea. Usually, it’s just temporary while a pet’s system adapts to its new friends, but you should stop using the supplements if it persists.
Yes! Mushrooms are safe for dogs within the prescribed dosage. In fact, many mushroom supplements can be taken daily. Giving supplements more or less frequently than recommended can not only alter how effective they can be, but it can even be unsafe for your pet!
It takes at least two weeks of consistent usage of mushroom supplements for dogs for results to start appearing. This, means giving your dog the supplement at the prescribed intervals and dosage. Consistency is key because that’s what gives the beneficial properties of the supplements time to build up in your dog’s system.
The broad spectrum of mushroom extracts in our 7 mushroom blend is designed for broad immune support, generally in pets with severe allergies or immune-based cancer like mast cell tumors. If you’re dealing with a specific health issue, we should determine whether our single mushroom extracts may be more effective in helping your pet.
