Animal Essentials’ Energy Mushroom Powder harnesses the power of Cordyceps militaris, a functional mushroom long revered in traditional wellness practices for its ability to boost energy, performance, and respiratory strength. Cordyceps offers gentle, whole-body support that helps your pet tap into natural vitality—making it ideal for aging pets, active animals, and those recovering from stress, illness, or exertion.

Cordyceps is traditionally used to enhance endurance, oxygen utilization, and recovery by supporting the adrenal system and promoting efficient energy metabolism. It’s particularly beneficial for pets who tire easily, experience low energy, or need respiratory support, as it may help improve breathing and stamina over time. Its adaptogenic nature also supports a healthy stress response, helping pets stay balanced in demanding environments.

Whether your pet is training, slowing down with age, or just needs extra support through seasonal or physical challenges, Energy provides safe, daily support for sustained performance, better oxygen flow, and long-lasting vitality. It’s a clean, easy-to-use powder you can feel good about feeding every day.

Supposed to be good, but my cat wasn't a fan

If you want to be really grossed out, look up what cordyceps mushrooms are. And if you know where it grows naturally, you'll probably be asking what crazy person figured out that it was medically useful, let alone edible.

I had a cat with chronic kidney disease. I got this. I put it into her prescription food, just an eighth of a teaspoon, but she must have detected it, and she definitely wasn't a fan. Unfortunately, there were other factors at work that I wasn't aware of.

I'm heartbroken to report that my sweet cat passed away shortly after getting this product, BUT it was from something NOT related to either this product or her kidney disease. HONEST.

Understandably, I'm not in a position to be able to judge this product on any merits that I was able to personally witness. All I can do is judge it on what I believe about it. I believe it's a good canister of product, very uniform and actually not unpleasant to my nose. I believe it's probably useful, based on the research I did before ordering it. And I believe my cat would have persisted in turning her nose up at it, but that's cats for you.

Before your beloved kitty succumbs to the Reaper, please consider this product. I absolutely believe it can help.

Our dog's enjoy the mushrooms

We ordered the Cordyceps Mushroom Supplement for our 10 year old dog diagnosed with a mast cell tumor. Our dog is a super picky eater but he seems to enjoy them. We've been using them for 2 weeks and the last few days he's been having zoomies.

May help kidney health - cat eats it!

This seems to be a high quality product! The product label states it is from 100% fruiting bodies. I mix it into my cat's wet food and he eats it with no problem. He's almost 17 years old.

Noticed a difference, dog ate it up

Normally with stuff like this, it’s usually hard to tell if/how much it’s actually working. I have to say though, I really have noticed a difference in the amount of energy my senior dog has been exhibiting since starting this supplement. I feed only once a day and it’s lasted for months now. This powder smells like clean, nutty mushrooms and feels very silky - as a consequence, it’s super powdery and spreads easily, so be careful when dispensing as it’ll get EVERYWHERE, much like flour.

Cordycepts mushroom supplement for dogs

Got this for my dog who is 12 years old and has been slowing down. After a few weeks I can see a noticeable difference in her energy levels. She seems more alert and playful. Will definitely reorder.
