Reishi carries more than 140 identified triterpenes, including the ganoderic acids responsible for its bitterness and its adaptogenic reputation. 🍄

Hot water extraction pulls beta-glucans and other water-soluble polysaccharides, and it leaves the triterpenes sitting in the cell wall. Alcohol is what gets those, and ultrasound is what breaks the chitin open so the whole thing is absorbable.

Our five-species blend goes through all three steps and then gets freeze-dried, which is also why it does not taste like much of a snack.

Check out the long version with the link in the comments.

Back-to-school season disrupts routines: kids leave, houses empty, and walk schedules shift.

Address this dual-purpose: Calming Chews for Dogs (5mg Duck & Apple for small dogs, 10mg Beef & Pumpkin for large) ease stress, while Gut Health Colostrum for Dogs balances gut lining and microbiome resilience. 🐾

If loose stool lasts beyond a few days, consult a vet.

Dogs and cats face a significantly higher daily toxic burden than humans simply due to their proximity to the ground and lack of protective footwear. ☢️

Spending time directly on floors and lawns exposes them to residual household cleaners, lawn chemicals, pesticides, and environmental pollutants that accumulate on their paws and fur. Because pets groom themselves constantly, these toxins are routinely ingested, placing continuous demand on their organs.

Products like our Liver Detox System and Maxx Life Glutathione provide essential support for their natural detoxification pathways to process these daily environmental stressors effectively.

A question we get in September more than any other month: what actually does something for a dog that scratches all fall?

Quercetin comes up a lot, and it's worth understanding before you buy anything.

It's a flavonoid, the same family of plant compounds that colors apple skins, h**p, and elderberries. In the body it interacts at the cellular level, specifically on the immune cells that store histamine and release it when something sets them off. Quercetin supports keeping that release in a normal range. It's also an antioxidant and supports the body's normal detoxification pathways.

Where it lives in our line: the Immune Tincture gets it through elderberry extract, paired with vitamin C. Maxx Life carries it directly in the Immune Support Complex, alongside vitamin D, zinc glycinate, and L-Lysine.

One is a liquid you can dose by the drop, which matters for cats and small dogs. The other is a daily capsule built for aging dogs. 🌿

Same compound, two delivery formats, because no two dogs take a supplement the same way.

Anyone here already using quercetin for their dog? Curious which format worked.

Ten years in, the part people ask about most is the part that never changed.

Earth Buddy started in 2015 in a bakery behind a Denver pet shop called Cosmos , with Sean making small batches at night for Keeva, his thirteen-year-old Collie mix. 🐾

We are in Longmont now with a real facility and PhDs helping us formulate, and we still make every product ourselves.

It is a harder way to run a supplement company, and it is the only reason we can answer a question about any specific batch.

VoyageDenver ran the full story this week and the link is in the first comment. What do you want to know about a company before you buy from it?

Dosing a 12-pound dog out of a jar built for an 80-pound dog is guesswork with a measuring scoop.

We heard it enough times that we did something about it. Four new small-breed options are live: Gut Health Colostrum for Small Breed Dogs at $36, plus Joint Support, Senior Support, and Immune Defense packs sized for smaller dogs. 🐾

Same formulations, same sourcing, same third-party testing. The difference is the amount, and the fact that a bag or jar now runs out on a sensible schedule instead of sitting in a cupboard for eight months.

If you have a small dog and you have been eyeballing a half scoop, this is for you.

School starts back and your dog's day goes from eight hours of company to eight hours of quiet.

Dogs read routine as structure. When that structure changes overnight, the door-watching, vocalizing, and general unsettledness usually show up within the first week or two. It is one of the most predictable behavior shifts on the calendar and one of the least planned for. 🐾

Calming Chews for Dogs come in Duck & Apple at 5mg and Beef & Pumpkin at 10mg, both made with full spectrum CBD. They support calm behavior without sedation, which is the distinction that matters. A sedated dog is not a settled dog, it is a dog that cannot tell you what is going on.

For daily support alongside a routine change, Balance H**p Extract holds a 1:1 CBD to CBDa ratio.

Best results come from starting before the schedule changes, not after.

We ran a 26-day study on 33 pets and published what owners actually reported, including the parts that took three weeks to show up.

The question we wanted to answer: can you support a senior dog's comfort without dulling the dog in the process? Plenty of products help a dog settle. Far fewer help a dog move while staying alert and engaged, and movement is exactly what aging joints need.

Working with MoreBetter and the Veterinary Cannabis Society, we ran five days of baseline with no product, then 21 days of daily use. Owners scored their own pets on three validated veterinary assessments: the Canine BPI, the C.O.D.I., and the Helsinki C.P.I.

On Mobility 4:1, owners reported 63.83% less interference with ability to run, 58.33% less interference with enjoyment of life, and 54.79% less interference with general activity. Quality of life ratings rose 31.50%.

On Balance 1:1, the results were quieter but no less meaningful: 74.40% lower difficulty posturing for the bathroom, 68.24% lower whining scores, 60.57% lower difficulty descending stairs.

Two things we think are worth knowing. 20 of the 29 owners who had already tried other joint support kept using it during the study, so these results layered on top of existing routines rather than replacing them. And 70% of the pets weighed over 50 lbs, with breeds ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes.

This was a pilot, observational study of owner-reported outcomes. It was not a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, and results varied by pet. We published the design's limits alongside the results because we would rather you make a decision with data than with reviews.
