Can this be given to a dog for lymphoma the same time she is getting chemotherapy?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 27, 2021
Due to your pet's diagnosed condition, we recommend consulting your veterinarian to ensure this would be a good fit for your pet's current treatment plan.

Can you provide the beta glucan content for this supplement?

Mushroom Defense contains both fruiting body and mycelium. The manufacturer does not measure for beta glucan assay but their water extraction process maximizes the beta glucan content.

I’ve used Animal essential products before

My 14-year-old dog is starting to get limpomas as I’m trying to reverse the problem a little bit by using this product. Hopefully it’ll work.

The premise of this product is great: provide the benefits of mushroom extracts to improve the health and (hopefully) longevity of your pup: "Contains a combination of three scientifically proven mushrooms (cordyceps, maitake and reishi) that provide antioxidants for a healthy pets immune system." My only issue is the design of the dropper. It is a clear tube marked with embossed circles and dose gradations. But since the liquid formula is a rather dark brown, I found it very difficult to see the markings. An improvement to consider would be to make the markings stand out with a contrasting color.

This is amazing. We are using it in conjunction with Ellie's chemo. All the dogs were jealous so we just let everyone have the mushrooms

So I was hoping this could help my old pup. He has medical issues. Liver enzymes high, epilepsy, and arthritis along with a back injury. I noticed it actually seemed to help his arthritis but it makes his seizures worse if he has even half the recommended dosage

not what I needed

I needed turkeytail for my cat and this does not include it, not sure why it would only have other mushrooms when turkeytail is one of the main beneficial ones

It Helps!

I felt I should leave a review here to help other cat parents. I have been using the Mushroom Defense for over 2 years now for my cat who has Stomatitis & allergy

I felt I should leave a review here to help other cat parents. I have been using the Mushroom Defense for over 2 years now for my cat who has Stomatitis & allergy issues. I put 5 drops in with his wet food & he eats it right up. I have noticed an improvement with his ailments, & I will continue to use this tincture because of the positive results. I feel it definitely has been helpful for him, in building up a stronger Immune System, easing his Stomatitis, & has reduced his allergy flare-ups. I understand that not all cats are the same in how they will react to a supplement, but it is worth a try if yours has similar Immune System issues.
