Critical Immune Defense for Dogs & Cats; Supports Normal Cell Growth - Turkey Tail, Reishi, Shiitake and Maitake Mushroom Formula with Patented White Turmeric Root Extract (Large / 90 Day Avg. Supply)

Update: We have only one bottle of powder left, so I'm reordering. I still have my grand-dog, Gus, on this supplement, and he is still running and chasing the ball during play time. My son is a firm believer in this product, and so am I. I have my younger female dogs on it as well. It is costly, but when I consider eventual vet bills that might be prevented if dogs have this stuff all their lives, I prefer to keep them healthy now so we can avoid some of the absurdly expensive health issues later in life. I can't seem to leave a vet's office without a three-hundred-dollar bill, and that is for basically nothing. Anything serious can be one or two thousand or much higher. It strikes me as being smarter to try to prevent serious issues for as long as we can, and in the meantime, our three dogs are happy, healthy, and enjoying a good playtime with the ball every day. At mealtime, they don't hesitate to eat, and if we didn't get all the powder mixed in well with their food, they lick the bowls clean, getting every last bit of the supplement. After eating, they circle around to see if another dog left any traces of anything in the bowl, and if one misses some of this supplement powder, they lick it up. So it doesn't taste icky to my dogs. I researched the ingredients and am thinking about finding a human version of this stuff. I think the company has done a stellar job of researching what will actually help our dogs--and I know there are human supplements, made of approximately the same stuff, that reviewers rave about. I'm 76, but who knows? If I get the same nutrients, maybe I'll be more energetic as well and help chase that darned ball!First post: I got this, despite the price, just to see. My son has a seven-year-old Aussie who was no longer wanting to chase the ball, who stood back and just didn't seem to care about playing anymore with our two younger dogs. It was so sad to see! He is still so young. I remembered reading about Critical Immune Defense and seeing good reviews. So, despite the cost, I decided to order some. I gave my grand-dog, Gus, his three scoops (he's a larger dog than my girls, so they only get two) on his food per meal for three days. (I did mention to my son that I was doing so. It is his dog, after all.) So we sailed along for three days, and all of a sudden, my grand-dog, Gus, began bursting forward to chase the ball and play. He was like a puppy again, all excited and racing around. It made my heart swell, because I was thinking, "That Stuff is actually Working!" My son said nothing. So, I thought, okay, fine. I can do without spending all that money on snake poison, even though I believed I was seeing a huge change in my grand-dog, Gus. My thought was, "I saw a placebo effect. I convinced myself, so I believed in the hype." My son didn't mention seeing a difference. So, hello, the stuff is expensive. I decided not to buy anymore. I'm not an idiot.So a few days later, my son calls. (We live on the same property, so our dogs all eat together.) "Mom, are you still giving Gus his supplement?" I thought I had messed up, because I wasn't giving him anything. I was, like, WHAT supplement? My son was, like, that stuff that started making him play like a puppy again! He was very upset that I had stopped giving his dog the CID. He would have been eagerly willing to continue the supplement at his own cost and trouble! The difference in the dog was huge. I popped back, saying that he'd never said a word about how it changed Gus. Why would I continue giving it to him? The stuff is costly! (I hope the company can shave away at their overhead to reduce the cost of product. ) Bottom line, this stuff DOES work! It isn't about buying it and only thinking it works. It truly does, and our Gus is suddenly running and playing like a much younger dog. It has given him a new lease on life. I have decided to also give it to my two younger dogs, hopefully as a preventative supplement. And, hello, I'm researching to find a human-grade supplement with mostly the same ingredients. I could stand a boost energy to make me feel better, too!

This product is great. My dog had a few lumps and bumps and after using this for a couple of weeks = they were gone. I use it every day now because I feel it does help with their immune system. I have a new puppy and he gets it every day.

I've been mixing this with my dogs' food for a week and the improvement is dramatic. I found this by accident when my veterinarian recommended adding more milk thistle for my three. The oldest in particular, an 18 year old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix with multiple skin growths (nevus warts) seems to be more alert, more "in the world". The 7 pound, 10 year old Chihuahua is eating better and showing less signs of pain. I know full benefits are supposed to take longer. Seeing such rapid results has me excited to see what happens in a few months.

I have 6 dogs, not a one of them will eat this when mixed in their food! The ingredients must taste terrible! The smell is bad also. On top of that, the container is about the size of a 12 ounce coke can. I expected a much bigger container. I put it on the cat's food, now I bet they will not eat it either! Waste of $$$$. I so hoped this would help my 15 year old dogs health and tumors but if she will not eat it , it will not help!!REVIEW AMENDED:I am finally getting it down the dog that has tumors by oral syringe. She hates the taste of it but I think it is actually helping her. If it continues to help her even more I will change the review again!!

Have been trying to sneek this in my cats food. I’m sad, they don’t seem to like the taste. I recommended this to several other people for their pets. The dogs will eat but sadly, the cats will not

One person described this as a 'snake oil' product and I agree. My dog has been on it for months and no reduction of two types of tumors she has. I checked to see if this product was listed on Yelp (after spending a lot of money) and it was not on Yelp. Why? It is very difficult to impossible to remove a review from Yelp. So the company just goes with made up results on their site from fictional users of the product. And yes, I was duped..

Great stuff but way to expensive to buy again.

This is a great product and I’ve been using it on my dog because she has had three surgeries every year for soft tissue sarcoma. When I first started buying this product in 2022 the price was $29 a jar. Now they want $65 and the jars are smaller. The company that makes this is greedy and is preying on people who are worried about cancer in their animals. I’m going to start researching and see if I can get the same formula and something that is not so expensive.
