More than 50% of dogs over the age of 10 will have cancer. There are some cancers that show up pretty frequently in dogs. The most common are melanomas and mast cell tumours – types of skin cancers, lymphomas, and bone cancers.

We stand by the dog parents offering the best K9 Mushroom Superfood Supplement for senior dogs (aged 7yr+).

The Mushroom Superfoods Science that even dogs can understand.

There are many edible, non intoxicating, tasty mushrooms that are great for humans and dogs. They are a dense source of fibre, a gut pre-biotic and probiotic, which means it helps have a healthy gut, creating good gut bacteria and feeding it. A lack of gut health will develop in many immune diseases and cancers.

Beta-glucans is what you need

The mushroom cells are made from beta-glucans, same as the cells in humans and dogs. The body of both humans and their best friend fight disease using macrophages. Macrophages are cells that have the role of attacking germs, viruses and early cancer cells. Macrophages are made from beta-glucans.

 Mushrooms from fruiting body , not mycelium

The mushrooms in our Senior K9 Superfood are organic, and the powder is made from the fruiting body.

Mushrooms have the fruiting body that you can see on the surface, and also mycelium, a fine webbing of thin roots that spread underneath the mushroom.

 

The mycelium is difficult to separate from the layer it grows in, and since the edible mushrooms superfoods are grown in brown rice, the mycelium would contain grain, and grain encourage/feed cancer cells.

 

Your K9 Superfood has no mycelium, and no grain. Only 10% of all mushroom superfood products on the market are fruiting body only, and K9 is one of them.

 

There have been many studies on the use of the extracts from these mushrooms and their benefits to health. Humans have used these mushroom for thousands of years for their benefits and the modern science has started to pay more attention to them too.

 

The modern studies cost millions and take a long time to get to conclusions. Only large corporations can afford these studies, and when they do it, they only use certain parts of the mushrooms and follow only certain procedures, so that they can patent their product before anyone else and maximize profits.

 

Our K9 Superfood is natural and unprocessed (apart from drying and milling to a powder).

 

Our 7 Mushrooms and our Complete Superfood Blend

We’ve chosen the most studied, safest mushrooms for the K9 Superfood.

 

  1. Turkey Tail:

Is the only with more than one type of beta-glucans. There are studies showing Turkey Tail are useful in extending life post cancer treatment. The survival rate after cancer treatment increases more than 6 times. We believe prevention is better than the cure. It is so good, that we added a double portion of it in the K9 Superfood. Link

 

  1. Chaga:

The mushroom with the highest levels of beta glucans, used for thousands of years by humans. It was made famous in modern times thanks to a book “The Cancer Ward”, written by a Noble Prize Winner, where a prisoner in a Siberian jail cured his cancer taking it.

Is an edible mushroom in the shape of a kidney. It is used by Buddhist monks for meditation, has relaxing and anti-inflammatory properties, improves sleep and works like an antihistamine.
