Dogs have become more than just household pets. In most homes, dogs are considered members of the family. And just as we would take care of our kids, we want the best for those covered in fur. That’s why we offer mushroom supplements for dogs. Mushroom supplements are known to support many different parts of the body such as a healthy immune system and the normal function of major organs.
Common Health Problems that Occur in Dogs
Just as human adults face more health concerns with age, dogs are also prone to suffering from age-related health issues. Some of the most common health problems for dogs are related to their heart, kidneys, gastrointestinal system, immune system, and joints.
Using Cordyceps for Heart Problems
As dogs age, they are more likely to suffer from heart conditions such as congestive heart failure. This disease makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood efficiently and can cause fluid to back up into other parts of the body. Some symptoms of congestive heart failure in dogs are coughing, difficulty breathing, not wanting to exercise, and unexplained vomiting.
Luckily, Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) mushrooms support heart and respiratory function as well as supporting performance, endurance and vitality.
Turkey Tail Supports a Healthy Digestive Tract
Another big concern for dogs that are getting older is their gastrointestinal tract. It’s fairly common for older dogs to start having trouble controlling their bladder and gut as a result of a GI issue. And some GI symptoms may even be indicators of other health issues such as kidney failure.
Turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) is rich in polysaccharides and may help with irritation in the urinary and digestive tract. This mushroom supplement also supports immune function and modulates normal cell growth which is great for dogs.
Support of Major Organs From Reishi Mushrooms
A dog’s major organs aren’t going to be as strong as they get older. Kidneys start to lose their function with age, and cause further problems for your dog later on. Kidney disease in dogs can be linked to their oral health and diet. As a main organ, it’s important to regulate the function of kidneys and be aware of any rising concerns.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) mushrooms contain beta glucans otherwise known as complex sugars, that help modulate the immune system. They provide intense immune support as well as aid in regulating healthy blood pressure and sugar levels. Most importantly here is that reishi is known to support main organs like the kidney and liver.
