Everyday wellness depends on functions you cannot always see. VITALITY supports normal immune function and metabolic balance with certified organic Maitake mushroom. It helps maintain blood glucose levels already within normal ranges.

Choose VITALITY when your pet’s wellness plan calls for Maitake-specific support. It is not an immediate energy boost or a treatment for diabetes. New changes in thirst, appetite, weight or energy need veterinary attention.

Cautions & Warnings

Consult a veterinarian before use in pets with diabetes, low blood pressure, mushroom allergy, a medical condition or medication use, especially glucose-regulating, blood-pressure, anticoagulant or immune-modulating drugs. Safety in pregnant animals or animals intended for breeding has not been proven. Stop use and consult a veterinarian if the condition worsens or does not improve. Give during or after eating.

VITALITY contains certified organic Maitake mushroom, prepared as a 1:1 hot-water extract. The whole-mushroom formula contains no inactive ingredients, grains, fillers or starch. Each teaspoon provides 2,800 mg Maitake extract, including 700 mg beta-glucans as constituents.

Animal Essentials brings 30+ years of herbal expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

VITALITY is an option for dogs and cats whose wellness plan calls for normal immune function and metabolic support. It is not a treatment for diabetes or a recovery treatment after illness or surgery. Pets with medical conditions, new symptoms or medication use need veterinary guidance before supplementation.

VITALITY is administered once daily when appropriate for the pet. The duration should reflect the reason for use and the veterinarian’s guidance where needed. No fixed results window has been established, and daily administration does not mean every pet needs it indefinitely.

Review all supplements and medications with your veterinarian before combining them. Maitake may already be present in another mushroom blend. Particular care is needed with glucose-regulating, blood-pressure, anticoagulant and immune-modulating medications.

In a few days, health improvements were clearly evident. My first priority was blood sugar and Chase/Airedale's quivers reduced to once or not at all per day. His energy level saw a noticeable uptick. The redness of skin calmed down significantly. We are going to stay with this to continue to aide his skin inflammation, bolster his immune system and his blood sugar levels in balance.

Trusted brand with high quality ingredients

I have used this brand for immune support for my aging dog and have been very happy with the quality. The jar was well sealed, and the powder has a rich mushroom smell. I feed dehydrated raw and add the powder before rehydrating, and both of my dogs clean their plates. No stomach upset at all, and I plan to keep using this powder. Highly recommend.

The maitake version has worked well for us

I specifically wanted a simple maitake mushroom supplement for my GSD, and this one has worked well for us. He has had no issues with it at all, and after almost two weeks of use he seems more comfortable and less itchy. I will definitely be getting more when we run out.

Great supplement for my senior dog

My senior dog has been on this for a few months and I've noticed she has more energy and seems healthier overall. The powder mixes easily into her food and she doesn't seem to notice it at all. Will continue buying.

Quality Mushroom Supplements for My Sweethearts

I am so pleased I had the opportunity to try this VITALITY Maitake Mushroom Powder from Animal Essentials for my old lady puppy. She seems to enjoy the addition to her diet and has not experienced any stomach issues. I appreciate that this supplement is made from USDA organic ingredients and manufactured in the United States. At the listed price for a 60-day supply, VITALITY Maitake Mushroom Powder is a great value and an easy addition to my beloved pet's wellness diet.

Great stuff!

My dog really loves the new addition to his food, as long as I add water and mix it in. He eagerly waits for me to add it and eats all his food in one sitting now, instead of his usual nibbling throughout the day. He's getting older and I know how beneficial adaptogenic mushrooms are for his health, so I am so glad he likes it.

Great addition to food

No fillers, no additives, made in the USA. Top 3 awesome features. I get this one and the one with Turkey Tail mushrooms also and love both products. I make my dog's food at home after much research. This is a great addition that offers so many health benefits. My dog absolutely loves it.

Great supplement for my senior dog

Helps boost immunity for my 14yr rr. She's got all the typical old dog lumps and bumps and has slowed progressively through the years but I wholeheartedly believe that mushroom supplements such as these really help in maintaining their quality of life and vitality even into their platinum years.
