Your Pet's Immune System Is the Key to Its Health
In today’s world, viruses and diseases are rampant, and it can be challenging to protect your pet. Let’s face it. Your dog and cat 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.

Cancer Rates are skyrocketing
More dogs and cats are being diagnosed with cancer than ever before.
According to the Veterinary Cancer Society, almost 50% of all dogs and 32% of all cats over the age of 10 will develop cancer. Younger pets are also increasingly at risk.
“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.
“One of the things that can be helpful is supporting your pet’s immune system with antioxidants to help its body to use its own natural defenses against disease. Certain mushrooms and turmeric may be beneficial in helping your pet to boost its immune system to fight diseases,” explains Edwards. According to Dr. Edwards, another way to protect your pets is with all-natural health supplements.
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.”
– Dr. Shawn Messonnier, Veterinarian and Founder of Paws & Claws Animal Hospital in Plano, Texas.
“Giving your pets a high-quality antioxidant supplement is highly recommended to further reduce the risk of cancer.”
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 mmunomodulatory 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.

What does my pet’s immune system actually do?
When your pet’s immune system is functioning at an optimal
level, it will naturally balance the “normal activity” that should take
place. The immune system fights infections, and removes harmful viruses
and bacteria, and it slows the aging process. A strong immune system
will also boost Natural Killer (NK) and T-Helper cell production that
helps prevent and slow cancer cell reproduction. So, a strong and
healthy immune system will keep your pet safe and healthy!
My dog or cat is not that old so why do I need to give them this product now?
The time to start any preventative action is before your pet
has an issue. As dogs and cats age, their immune systems are not as
strong, and they are more susceptible to diseases. A weak immune system
in dogs and cats can cause a variety of diseases such as infections,
diabetes, osteoarthritis and cancers. Be a proactive pet owner and start
boosting your pet’s immune system while they are younger and BEFORE
they have an issue.
My pet has a sensitive stomach. Will this product cause issues?
Not likely. However, if you know (or think) that your pet has a
sensitive stomach ease into the product slowly. Start with 1/3 or 1/2
the recommended dose and work your way up to full dose over a 1-2 week
period. If you notice any issues, simply stop using the product or cut
back to find the level that works for your pet.
My dog is taking VetSmart Formulas Hip + Joint Complex and the VetSmart Probiotic. Can I use Critical Immune Defense along with them?
Yes, absolutely! There is no problem using all the products together. And… good for you for being on top of your pet’s health!
My pet currently has cancer and is taking chemotherapy medications. Can I use Critical Immune Defense along with the chemotherapy?
Yes. Our product is all-natural and designed to be taken with
chemotherapy medications. It will help boost their immune system that
might be compromised by the chemotherapy medications. If your pet is
being treated for any serious medical condition, we always suggest that
you discuss the use of any supplements with your veterinarian. You can
simply bring the bottle to them during a visit or take a photo of the
label and share it with your vet.
My pet is taking prescription steroids or pain medications for another health issue. Can I use Critical Immune Defense along with the medications?
Yes. Our product is all-natural and designed to be taken with
prescription medications. It will help boost their immune system that
might be compromised by the medications. Again, we always suggest that
you discuss the use of any supplements with your veterinarian. You can
simply bring the bottle to them during a visit or take a photo of the
label and share it with your vet.
My pet is so old already. Is it too late to start and will it really make a difference?
No pet is too old to start using an all-natural product that will help
them live a better and longer life! It’s similar to someone who starts
exercising at 80 years old. Every bit helps! Start now and you will help
to prolong your pet’s lifespan!
I love my pet just like a family member. Will Critical Immune Defense prevent them from getting cancer?
We can’t guarantee that, but what we do know is our product is very
effective at boosting your pet’s immune system which helps fight all
types of diseases such as cancers. The research on the ingredients in
Critical Immune Defense is very extensive and Asian cultures have used
these ingredients effectively for many centuries.
My pet is a picky eater. How do I give them the product, and does it taste bad?
Critical Immune Defense is very easy to give to your pet. It’s a powder
that you simply sprinkle on their food. It has a natural hypo-allergenic
chicken flavor that appeals to both dogs and cats, and most pets love
the flavor. We offer a 30-day money back guarantee if they don’t like
the taste.
You mentioned that almost half (47%) of dogs and 33% of cats over the age of 10 years old get cancer. Those statistics seem very high. Where are they from?
We agree. The numbers are frighteningly high! These statistics were
published by the Veterinary Cancer Society. There is so much research
and so many clinical studies on the percentages of dogs and cats that
get cancer. You can Google it and see the various studies online.
Are Turkey Tail Mushrooms from live turkeys?
No, they are not. Turkey Tail Mushroom, also known as Coriolus
Versicolor, is a common type of mushroom that has the shape and color of
a turkey tail. What is unique about the Turkey Tail Mushrooms that we
use in Critical Immune Defense is the mushrooms are harvested at a very
young age when the polysaccharide K (PSK) and peptides are the most
concentrated, and these active compounds boost the immune system. As a
reference, polysaccharide K (PSK) is an approved mushroom product to
treat cancer in Japan.
I tried Critical Immune Defense, but I did not notice a difference in my pet. Why not?
Here’s a way to think about it. High blood pressure is known as the
“silent killer.” That’s because people may have high blood pressure for
many years and not notice it. However, because there are no visible
signs does not mean nothing is happening in your body. The same is the
case with boosting your pet’s immune system. You may notice that your
pet is more lively or peppy, or you may not notice anything at all. Keep
in mind that not seeing a visible result does not mean the product is
not working.
I’ve seen other Turkey Tail products for pets online. Is your product any better?
We love this question! Our product is one of the most powerful immune
boosters for pets on the market. We have combined a blend of four
mushrooms along with turmeric and vitamins to create what we feel is the
absolute best immune booster for pets. Our ingredients are standardized
to the highest potency and the product is veterinarian strength. We
invite you to compare the labels and the ingredients in our product to
any others on the market to see for yourself!
I may have given my pet too much product, what do I do? My pet overdosed what do I do? I think my pet is having an allergic reaction, what do I do? I gave my pet some of your product and it is behaving oddly, what do I do?
Call your vet immediately and explain the situation. If your vet is not available, contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at
888-426-4435.
I thought mushrooms were poisonous for dogs?
Most mushrooms are very beneficial to humans and both cats and dogs,
and less than 1% of mushrooms are harmful. The mushrooms that we use in
Critical Immune Defense are “medicinal mushrooms” and they have been
used to boost immune systems for centuries and are proven to be safe and
effective for cats and dogs. For more than 30 years medicinal mushrooms
have been approved as cancer treatments in Japan and China. More
recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved
clinical trials for Turkey Tail and other medicinal mushrooms.
We didn't discover turkey tail," says lead investigator
Leanna J. Standish, PhD, ND, LAc, FABNO, Medical Director of the Bastyr
Integrative Oncology Research Center. "It's been used in Asia for
thousands and thousands of years, and it turns out to be a really potent
immune therapy. The significance, I think, is that we're bringing a new
medicine to cancer patients in the U.S."
Studies are being conducted at several U.S. research
universities, including the University of Pennsylvania School of
Veterinary Medicine to gather data on the cancer and tumor-fighting
effects of mushrooms in dogs, and the development of transformative
cancer therapy for pets.
Please do your own online research to learn more about the
benefits of the mushrooms in our product and the research being
conducted. It is quite amazing!
