Feeding recommendation for animals

The dosage of medicinal mushrooms depends on the weight and individual needs of the animal. Since every animal may react differently, it is recommended to introduce the amount slowly over a period of at least three weeks.

As a guideline for dogs and cats: small animals up to 5 kg receive about half a capsule daily, animals between 5 and 10 kg one capsule, between 10 and 20 kg about one and a half capsules, and from 20 kg about two capsules per day.

For small pets such as rodents, rabbits, ferrets, and birds, the mushroom powder can simply be sprinkled over their food.

For horses as well as other grazing and livestock, medicinal mushrooms can simply be fed with oats, an apple, or another suitable feed.

Especially at the beginning of feeding—particularly in more sensitive animals—temporary reactions may occur. These include mild gastrointestinal disturbances, skin reactions such as itching or rashes. In dogs, reddened ears or increased earwax may also occur, and in horses, occasional coughing. These phenomena are individual and usually subside on their own.

An adjusted, mindful feeding approach supports good tolerability and allows for optimal integration into the animal's daily routine.

Notes

The medicinal mushrooms for animals are complementary feeds and are intended to supplement the daily diet. They do not replace a balanced and species-appropriate diet.

Generally, medicinal mushrooms should not be used during pregnancy and lactation. Exceptions should only be made following professional advice.

Good to know: Cordyceps is on the doping list in equestrian sports. For sport horses, therefore, the applicable regulations and withdrawal periods should be observed.
