It may increase the body's ability to use oxygen during exercise, delaying fatigue and improving performance¹. Dogs engaged in strenuous physical activities such as agility training, hunting, or involved in competition may potentially benefit from Cordyceps.

Dosage for Dogs
Dosage for Dogs
Please note this is a superior type of Cordyceps mushroom to most found on the market currently, and therefore care needs to be taken on building up the dosage.
We recommend starting with a dosage of 0.356 g (16th of a teaspoon) per 15 kg of weight for the first 3 days.
We would then look to raise the dosage for serious need to 0.5 g (1/4 of a teaspoon) for every 15 kg of bodyweight daily, or as recommended by your Vet.

Mushroom powder is generally considered safe for dogs when used as directed and in appropriate doses. However, as with any supplement or dietary change, individual dogs may react differently. Before introducing mushroom powder to your dog's diet, and if you observe any unusual symptoms or have concerns, we recommend consulting with a veterinarian for guidance and to address any specific health-related questions.

Mushroom powder can typically be used for extended periods as part of a long-term wellness regimen for your dog. It is considered safe for continuous use, but the ideal duration may vary depending on your dog's specific health goals and individual needs. Many dog owners incorporate mushroom powder into their dog's daily diet as part of a holistic approach to overall well-being.
It's essential to consult with a veterinarian to determine the most suitable duration and dosage, especially if your dog has specific health concerns.

Incorporating Turkey Tail mushroom powder into your dog's diet is typically straightforward and can often be mixed with their regular food. Here's a general guideline:
- Sprinkle on Food: You can sprinkle the recommended dosage of Turkey Tail mushroom powder directly onto your dog's regular food. Mixing it well with the food ensures your dog consumes it.
