What is MushPuppies?
MushPuppies is a line of baked dog supplement biscuits built around the immune-supporting Coriolus Versicolor mushroom. Each biscuit also contains Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and Carotene to help support bones and joints. The treats are sold by PetClub 247 and represented by Scott Bruce.
What is Coriolus Versicolor and why is it in MushPuppies?
Coriolus Versicolor, also known as Turkey Tail, is an all-natural botanical mushroom found to help support the body's own immune system. In MushPuppies it is supplied as polysaccharide peptide (PSP) and polysaccharide krestin (PSK), the compounds associated with its immune benefits. The brand harvests it at the mycelia stage rather than the fruited body to ensure a high polysaccharide content.
What is the difference between MushPuppies and MushPuppies Plus?
MushPuppies Plus is packed with 50% MORE Coriolus Versicolor than the standard MushPuppies recipe, offering what the brand calls supercharged immune support. Each Plus piece contains roughly 338mg of Coriolus Versicolor PSP/PSK along with about 250mg Glucosamine HCl, 150mg Chondroitin Sulfate, and 150mg Carotene. It is recommended for seniors, large dogs, and any dog needing extra immune help.
What are the full ingredients in MushPuppies?
The ingredients are Coriolus Versicolor mushroom polysaccharide peptide (PSP) and polysaccharide krestin (PSK), glucosamine, chondroitin, carotene, organic spelt flour, whole oat flour, apple juice, eggs, ground peanuts, coconut oil, and mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E) as a natural preservative.
