Mushrooms are becoming increasingly popular as a functional food for humans and our loved pets! Mushrooms have far-reaching benefits, and each variety of fungi has its own unique properties. There are, however, beneficial features of mushrooms that all varieties share. One of the biggest reasons functional mushrooms are good for dogs and cats is because they help their immune systems be more resilient. When our pets consume mushrooms such as turkey tail, reishi, lion’s mane, and cordyceps. Mushrooms activate a the alert system in the body, and a message to send resources where needed. When it comes to feeding your pet the Real Mushroom Capsules for Pets you can mix it with some broth or see if your pet will consume the capsule whole. Real Mushrooms also has a soft chew available for your pets!
Two types of mushrooms that are incredibly beneficial to your pets are turkey tail, and lion’s mane. Turkey tail is given to dogs for six general purposes; Immune enhancement, as an adjunct to cancer therapies, antioxidant protection of cells, supporting a healthy inflammation response, boosting conventional therapies and vaccine support.
