Immune Support+ | Turkey Tail Mushroom

How do I use the supplements?

You should follow the recommended dosages and talk to your dog's health care provider. You can also mix the supplement with some of these foods: plain yogurt, kefir, bone broth, goat milk, warm coconut oil or even water. If you're not sure you can ask your dog's health care provider or send us an email hello@NorthHoundLife.com.

Why use hot water extraction for mushrooms?

The hot water extraction method breaks down cell walls and makes the beneficial compounds β-glucans and polysaccharides bioavailable.

How is the Turkey Tail sourced and what are the polysaccharide levels?

Our Turkey Tail is a concentrated mushroom powder with polysaccharide content greater than 30%. It's sourced from quality suppliers and tested for identity and microbiology.

What's the difference between Turkey Tail Only and Mushroom Power (Five Mushroom Blend)?

Turkey Tail Only is concentrated for direct immune system support — higher dose of a single focused mushroom. Mushroom Power combines five mushrooms (including Turkey Tail, Lion's Mane, Shiitake, Maitake, and others) for broader adaptogenic and cognitive support. If your dog has a specific immune need (cancer recovery, chronic illness), Turkey Tail Only is the better choice. For general wellness and brain health, Mushroom Power covers more ground.

My senior dog has fatty lumps (lipomas) confirmed by the vet — can supplements help?

Turkey Tail is one of the most researched functional mushrooms for dogs, but it's worth being clear: it has not been shown to directly shrink or eliminate lipomas. What it does do is support immune function and overall cellular health, which matters a lot for aging dogs. A broader approach tends to be more effective than looking for one solution. That includes healthy weight management, anti-inflammatory nutrition, omega-3 supplementation, and daily movement. Some dog parents also find gentle daily detox support helpful: things like Dandelion Root, Milk Thistle, and fresh water. Always confirm with your vet that any lump is a benign lipoma before adding supplements.

What is Immune Support + made from?

Immune Support + is made from 100% organic turkey tail mushrooms.

Why don't all your products have scoops? 

We are making a conscious effort with our packaging to reduce waste and scoops are a small way that we can do this. Some of our products are mandated by Health Canada to include a scoop and you will find one inside your jar, these are bamboo spoons which are ultimately compostable. We know that many or all of you, pet parents, will have a measuring spoon inside your home that can be used and reused in our collective effort to be just a little better to our planet.

My dog takes multiple supplements, do I need to feed them all in one meal?

No. If your dog eats multiple meals a day and you would prefer to distribute the supplements throughout the day, you can do this.

Can I give more than one supplement at the same time?

Yes. Most of our supplements are designed to work well together. Common combinations we see customers use: Omega 3+ with Green Lipped Mussel for joint support; Slippery Elm with Probiotic+ for digestive health; Turkey Tail with Bovine Colostrum for immune support.

Can this supplement be broken up between meals?

Yes, if you would prefer to break up the daily recommended dose you can do this. The daily recommended dose is the total for daily feeding, but this does not dictate that it has to be fed in one sitting.
