Chaga

Chaga mushrooms offer a wide range of benefits for pets. They are rich in antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals and support the body’s natural defense systems. Chaga may also promote healthy immune function, support digestive wellness, and contribute to skin and coat vitality. With their adaptogenic and antioxidant properties, Chaga mushrooms help maintain cellular health and a balanced inflammatory response.

Yes, Chaga mushrooms are known to support a healthy immune response in pets. They contain naturally occurring beta-glucans, which help maintain immune system balance and promote resilience during times of stress or recovery. Chaga may be especially beneficial for pets with sensitive or aging immune systems.

Mushrooms are a functional food, so mushrooms will not have an adverse effect on young puppies, adult dogs or seniors.

Our Chaga are wild-harvested from live birch trees in Michigan.

Mushrooms act as bio-accumulators, absorbing toxins from polluted air and soil. While China has long been associated with mushroom cultivation, it ranks among the most polluted nations globally.

In contrast, mushrooms cultivated in their natural habitat in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States remain untouched by such pollutants and toxins. This distinction is crucial when selecting mushrooms for canine consumption.

MycoDog mushroom extracts are meticulously crafted from mushrooms cultivated outdoors, free from grains or fillers. Given mushrooms' ability to absorb environmental toxins, we prioritized sourcing from the pristine woodlands of the Pacific Northwest. This ensures minimal exposure to pollutants that could otherwise affect the mushrooms' purity and efficacy.

How mushrooms are grown significantly influences the benefits of mushroom supplements for dogs. Were you aware that mushrooms can be cultivated on substrates like grain and rice and sawdust? It's a cost-effective and expedient method for large-scale production.

However, the issue lies in the nutritional content. Essentially, you are what you eat. Mushrooms cultivated on grains absorb the nutrients from these substrates, which often lack the essential health benefits your dog requires. Conversely, when mushrooms grow naturally on trees in the wild, they absorb vital vitamins and nutrients crucial for your dog's well-being.

Interestingly, many people overlook the fact that mushrooms are grown, harvested, extracted, and packaged right here in the United States! With a bit of exploration, you'll discover that the Pacific Northwest serves as a haven for mushrooms, supplying us with naturally cultivated varieties for over 2,400 years. It's a hidden gem of America, yet imperative to recognize to ensure we access the finest mushroom sources for ourselves and our pets, while also supporting our local farmers.
