What conditions do you treat the most?

We see mostly geriatric pets, so the most common problems that our patients have are chronic arthritis, neurologic problems, stomach and kidney issues, and cancer. We also see a number of patients for post-surgical rehabilitation.

What are the most common causes of these conditions?

Most of the conditions we see are the result of the aging process. Some of the patients we see have acute neurologic problems like bulging or ruptured intervertebral discs that are not chronic in nature.

How do you use Real Mushrooms with your patients?

We certainly recommend Real Mushrooms for our cancer patients or anytime we feel that the immune system needs to be addressed. Also, we find that Real Mushrooms improve the quality of life of our geriatric patients in general, no matter what health problems they may have.

What is your recommended dosage for canines?

For our typical 40-80 pound canine patient I recommend 1 capsule twice daily, sometimes more depending on their general health.

How do you personally use mushrooms?

I use the 5 Defenders Mushroom Blend Capsules for overall general health. They help with daily wear and tear, stress, and support my energy levels.
