As pets occupy increasingly important roles in our family lives, people are investing more than ever in maintaining their health. The veterinarian has become the furry child’s pediatrician. Also, pet parents look for the same wholesome nutrition in the pet food aisle as in the grocery aisle. They are also starting to add healthy supplements to the food bowl. Much as they do for parents and children, animal-specific supplements help enhance pet health, quality of life, and longevity.

Among those healthy supplements pet parents give their four-legged family members, mushrooms are now the fastest-growing category. As a result, pet parents are seeing great results in their pets’ health when they share their healthy meals and healthy supplements with them.

Are you looking to add healthy mushrooms to improve your pet’s health? Are you confused by all the different types of mushrooms and mushroom products available? In this episode, we outline the basics of mushroom supplements, which ones to consider first, for what purpose, and ideally in what format.
