“Not just a response — a plan.”

At Fur Health, we believe cancer care isn’t just about the cure — it’s about protecting your pet before, during, and after. Medicinal mushrooms offer a powerful, science-backed way to support the body, fight inflammation, and strengthen the immune system holistically.

Prevention

Start early. Mushrooms like Reishi and Turkey Tail help the body recognize abnormal cells, reduce oxidative damage, and maintain immune vigilance.
    •    Fights inflammation and free radical damage
    •    Supports detox and healthy cell repair
    •    Great for aging pets or high-risk breeds

Resilience

During treatment or recovery, resilience is everything. Mushrooms like Cordyceps and Lion’s Mane rebuild stamina and protect vital organs.
    •    Boosts energy, appetite, and mood
    •    Helps manage side effects of chemo/radiation
    •    Supports brain and nerve health

Cure

Medicinal mushrooms enhance, not replace, conventional oncology care. Clinical studies show improved survival, reduced inflammation, and better treatment tolerance in pets.
    •    Enhances immune targeting of cancer cells
    •    Improves response to chemo and radiation
    •    Especially effective for hemangiosarcoma, mast cell tumors, and lymphoma

The Mushrooms Making a Difference

Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor)
The most researched mushroom in cancer care — rich in PSK and PSP, known to boost NK cell activity and prolong survival.


Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
An immune modulator and adaptogen that eases inflammation, fatigue, and treatment-related anxiety.

Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris)
Supports oxygen use and mitochondrial health — ideal for pets who are weak, tired, or losing weight during treatment.

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
Encourages nerve regeneration and mental clarity — essential for pets with neurological symptoms or chemo brain.

Why Mushrooms Matter in Pet Cancer Care

Cancer impacts more than the body. Medicinal mushrooms help your pet:
    •    Strengthen immunity
    •    Support detox and antioxidant defense
    •    Recover appetite, energy, and emotional balance
    •    Handle treatment side effects naturally
    •    Thrive with a gentle, holistic approach
