About
There is ongoing research into the potential anti-cancer properties of turkey tail mushrooms. Some studies suggest that they may help inhibit the growth of cancer cells and enhance the effectiveness of traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy by increasing the function of immune cells.
A 2012 study from a University of Pennsylvania Vet found that dogs treated for cancer with a Turkey Tail compound had the longest survival times ever reported.
“We were shocked ... Prior to this, the longest reported median survival time of dogs with hemangiosarcoma of the spleen that underwent no further treatment was 86 days. We had dogs that lived beyond a year with nothing other than this mushroom as treatment.”

Turkey tail mushrooms are known for their nutritional value, containing high amounts of Vitamin D, Vitamin B3, antioxidants and flavonoids. The prebiotic fibres can support digestive health by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria improving overall digestion and nutrient absorption in dogs.
Certain compounds in turkey tail mushrooms exhibit antimicrobial activity, which may help fight off bacterial and fungal infections in dogs. Including turkey tail mushrooms in a dog's diet may contribute to overall wellness and vitality, thanks to their nutrient content and immune-boosting effects.
