Medicinal Mushrooms for Pets: The Benefits You Didn’t Know About


Listen Later

Can mushrooms really help with your pet’s allergies, anxiety, or immune issues?

In this enlightening episode, Amy Castro chats with Dr. Rob Silver, veterinarian and expert in herbal medicine, to explore the growing field of medicinal mushrooms for pets. You’ll learn how natural remedies like reishi, chaga, and Lion’s Mane are being used to support common pet health concerns—and why many conventional vets may not yet be aware of their benefits.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • Which mushrooms are best for calming anxiety, fighting allergies, and boosting immunity
  • What to look for in mushroom supplements to avoid cheap or ineffective products
  • How to start the conversation with your vet about integrating holistic care

P.S. You may hear us refer to the show as Starlight Pet Talk in this episode. That was our original name. Don’t worry, you’re in the right place.
