    Your pet's immune system is the key to its health! Here's why:

    In today’s world, viruses and diseases are rampant, and it can be challenging to protect your pet.

    Let’s face it. Your pet lives in a world filled with contamination.

    They spend 90% of their waking hours on the floor, mopping up toxins, chemicals, and pollutants.

    The household cleaning products, fertilizer on the lawn, and preservatives in their foods can be harmful. Bacteria, airborne contaminants, and viruses transmitted by humans can challenge their health.

    Most pets do not eat an optimal diet, and likely do not get as much exercise as they require.

    What do you do?

    You need to put your pet’s immune system in overdrive!

    Research shows that a well-balanced and functional immune system is essential to your pet’s overall health and well-being.

    The doctors agree

    Mushrooms = Anticancer Activity

    “As a pet lover, I think it makes sense that the compounds in mushrooms be included in your pet’s diet or included by nutritional supplements. Certain mushrooms contain agents with anticancer activity and immunomodulatory properties that may help fight cancer and certain other diseases.”

    Dr. Frank Markland, Professor of biochemistry and molecular medicine at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine.

    Pet owners CAN make a difference.

    “It is the responsibility of the pet owner to do everything possible to minimize the risk of cancer in their pets. This includes a sensible lifestyle with sufficient exercise, weight management, drinking clean water, healthy food intake, and avoiding toxins. Giving your pets a high-quality antioxidant supplement is highly recommended to further reduce the risk of cancer.”

    – Dr. Shawn Messonnier, Veterinarian and Founder of Paws & Claws Animal Hospital in Plano, Texas.

    More cats and dogs are being diagnosed with cancer than ever before. 

    “Certain mushrooms and turmeric may be beneficial in helping your pet to boost its immune system to fight diseases,” explains Edwards.

    “Cancer is affecting our pets at alarming rates, and it is devastating for both the families of these pets as well as the pets themselves. I am seeing this in my practice on a regular basis.”

    Dr. Jennifer Edwards, Veterinarian at Ponemah Veterinary Hospital in Amherst, New Hampshire.

    I think it may be helping some

    My 9 yr old Labrador has osteosarcoma. She was diagnosed late March, and I found this Critical Immune Defense the same week. Started giving it to her about a week later. I'm not sure if it's having much of an effect, but I like to think it's helping a little. I'm going to keep giving it to her, and cross my fingers that it's helping. Her cancer has progressed, but maybe not as fast as it would have otherwise.

    Chopper loves it.

    Chopper loves the powder on his food. He licks the bowl clean. My Boy was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma. This product has helped him feel better, he plays more and eats better. We are hoping to get a few more months with him by using your product. Thank you for your interest in our babies.

    So far so good

    I just feel good giving her Critical Defense.

    She seems very bright and healthy and full of energy. We walked 5 long miles yesterday. She did great and would’ve done more. I was wiped out but she was full of energy….9 years old going on 2!!!

    Lily Approves!

    My 13 year old Lily is a fan! She has been on it since February - after she had a small mast cell removal off of her hip. I feel that it has helped her heal faster and stay healthy. This will continue to be part of her daily diet. Thank you for making such a great supplement for our four-legged friends!
