Tips for Mushroom Use:

 When introducing mushrooms to your pet’s wellness routine, it’s essential to ensure safety and effectiveness. Here are some tips for using mushrooms safely for pets:

 Use High-Quality, Organic Products

Look for certified organic and third-party-tested mushroom supplements to avoid pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Mushroom powders and extracts specifically made for pets are often preferable. We recommend Real Mushrooms pet extracts, that have been formulated by Dr. Silver.

Start with Small Doses

Gradually introduce mushrooms to your pet’s diet, beginning with a low dose and increasing it slowly to the recommended amount. This allows you to monitor for any signs of sensitivity or allergies.

Watch for Any Adverse Reactions

Although most pets tolerate medicinal mushrooms well, observe for symptoms like gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea, or lethargy. If these occur, stop use and consult your veterinarian.

Consult Your Veterinarian First

Especially if your pet has pre-existing conditions, is on medications, or is immunocompromised, check with a veterinarian—before starting any new supplement.

Avoid Raw Mushrooms

Mushrooms are best given in powdered or extract form, as raw mushrooms can be hard for pets to digest and might contain harmful compounds.

Store Properly

Keep mushroom supplements in a cool, dark, and dry place, as heat and light can degrade their potency over time.

With the right approach, medicinal mushrooms can be a fantastic, safe addition to your pet’s care routine!
