Mushrooms are a great addition to your dog's diet because they are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. They provide antioxidants and digestive enzymes that support overall health. Some types of mushrooms can boost your dog's immune system and promote healthy cell function. Functional mushrooms, known for their long history of use, offer a range of health benefits for dogs. They help strengthen the immune system, improve brain function, and support skin and gut health. These mushrooms contain special compounds like beta-glucans and triterpenes that are beneficial for your pet. Beta-glucans, found in mushroom cell walls, help lower blood sugar, fight infections, and may even help combat cancer cells.

Can I give my dog any type of mushroom? No, not all mushrooms are safe for dogs. Some mushrooms can be toxic and harmful. To ensure your dog's safety, only use mushroom supplements that are specially formulated for dogs.

Mushroom extract tinctures are more effective than pills or powders because they can preserve the medicinal benefits of mushrooms. To unlock these benefits, mushrooms need to be extracted, which means the active compounds are better captured in liquid form. When making mushroom extracts, the fruiting bodies are first heated with water (and sometimes alcohol for certain types like Reishi) to release important compounds like polysaccharides, antioxidants, and vitamins. For dogs, these extracts are then mixed with glycerin, which helps preserve their effectiveness. In contrast, many powders on the market are just dried mushrooms ground up, which may not contain the full range of beneficial compounds. Additionally, powders can lose their potency quickly once the package is opened. Using tinctures with organic glycerin helps keep the extracts fresh and effective for your dog.

When it comes to functional mushroom supplements, many brands use mushrooms grown on grain because it's cheaper. However, this method has a downside: it often means the actual beneficial mushrooms are missing. The valuable components like beta-glucans and terpenoids are found in the mushroom caps, not in the grain. At Bully Crew CBD, we do things differently. Founded by Craig Fields, our approach is to use mushrooms that are wild-harvested from the clean forests of the Pacific Northwest. This ensures that our tinctures contain high levels of these beneficial compounds, providing your dog with the full benefits of real mushrooms. As Craig Fields puts it, "We believe in full transparency. Until we have a method to produce pure mycelium, we'll stick with what we know is best—mushrooms in their natural form." Choose Bully Crew CBD for mushroom supplements that truly deliver all the goodness of functional mushrooms.

You can give Bully Crew CBD mushroom tinctures to your dog in two simple ways: either by placing the tincture directly into your dog's mouth or mixing it with their food.
