• Is Turkey Tail mushroom safe for dogs and cats?

  Turkey Tail mushroom is commonly used in dog and cat supplements for immune support. This formula is designed for daily use in dogs and cats over 6 months of age. If your pet has a medical condition, please consult your veterinarian before use.

• What are the benefits of Turkey Tail mushroom for dogs?

  Turkey Tail mushroom is known for supporting immune health in dogs due to its natural beta-glucans.

  In this formula, Turkey Tail works together with other functional mushrooms to help:
  • support immune balance
  • promote overall vitality
  • assist long-term health and wellbeing

  It is commonly used as part of a daily wellness routine for dogs.

• What makes 20:1 mushroom extracts different from regular mushroom powder?

  Regular mushroom powder is simply dried and ground mushroom, which means the concentration of active compounds can be quite low. In contrast, a 20:1 mushroom extract is made by concentrating 20 parts of mushroom into 1 part of finished powder through a careful extraction process.

  This method preserves and enriches the natural beta-glucans and other beneficial compounds, resulting in a higher potency ingredient that delivers consistent support in smaller daily servings. For pets, this means you get the benefits of medicinal mushrooms in a more effective and convenient form.

• Why include Ergothioneine in a pet supplement?

  Unlike common antioxidants, Ergothioneine is actively transported into cells and stored in key tissues such as the liver, brain, and eyes. This means it can help protect vital organs and support long-term wellness for dogs and cats.

• Why is Inulin added to the formula?

  Inulin is a natural prebiotic fibre derived from chicory root. We include it in the blend for two reasons:

  1. Gentle on Digestion. Our mushrooms are concentrated at a 20:1 extract. While this makes them highly potent, larger amounts of mushroom extract on its own can sometimes feel heavy on sensitive stomachs. Inulin helps buffer the formula, making it easier for dogs and cats to enjoy daily.

  2. Gut Health Support. Inulin nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, which in turn produce short-chain fatty acids that support a healthy digestive environment. A balanced gut can help your pet absorb and utilise nutrients more efficiently.

  By creating a healthy gut environment, Inulin makes the blend gentler on digestion and helps your pet utilise nutrients more effectively each day.

• Where are your mushrooms sourced?

  Most medicinal mushrooms in the world today are grown in East Asia, where they have been cultivated and studied for centuries. Our mushrooms are sourced from trusted, certified-organic farms and then carefully extracted to ensure high levels of active compounds like beta-glucans. Every batch is tested for purity, heavy metals, and safety before it becomes part of our formulas.

• Does it have a strong taste or smell?

  Medicinal mushrooms naturally have an earthy flavor. Most pets accept it well when mixed into their regular food, and the addition of Inulin makes the blend gentler and easier to enjoy daily.

• Is this suitable for puppies or kittens?

  We recommend Vital 7 Mushrooms for pets over 6 months of age. For younger animals, please consult your veterinarian before use.
