Calming Paws for Pets

Pets can experience stress from changes in routine, travel, loud noises, separation, or unfamiliar surroundings. Calming Paws for Pets provides a simple way to add functional mushrooms to your pet’s daily routine.

This organic mushroom blend combines Reishi and Maitake in an equal ratio. It contains over 25% beta-glucans and comes as an easy-to-use powder that you can mix directly into your pet’s food.

The formula is also organic, vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, and free from fillers. The mushrooms are grown in Canada, and the product is tested for active compounds.

A Simple Reishi and Maitake Blend

Calming Paws combines two well-known functional mushrooms: Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and Maitake (Grifola frondosa).

Reishi has attracted scientific interest because it contains naturally occurring polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and triterpenes. Researchers continue to study these compounds and their biological properties.

Maitake also contains naturally occurring polysaccharides and beta-glucans. Researchers have examined Maitake in both laboratory and animal studies, although more research is needed to understand its effects in companion animals.

You can learn more about Reishi through our Reishi Collection and explore our Maitake Collection.

Reishi and Pet Wellness Research

Researchers have started to examine Reishi specifically in canine nutrition.

For example, a 2024 study evaluated Ganoderma lucidum supplementation in healthy adult dogs. The researchers found that the dogs tolerated the mushroom well and observed changes in certain immune-related measures. However, the study did not establish Reishi as a treatment for anxiety or other medical conditions.

Read the canine Reishi study on PubMed to explore the research in more detail.

Reishi research also covers a wide range of biological compounds and potential effects. Much of this research remains preclinical, so results from laboratory or human studies should not automatically be applied to pets.

For a broader scientific overview, explore Reishi research on PubMed.

What About Maitake?

Maitake has also been investigated in veterinary research.

One clinical study examined a standardized Maitake extract in dogs with lymphoma. The study found that the treatment was well tolerated, but it did not produce objective tumor responses. This distinction is important because it shows why individual studies should not be interpreted as proof that a mushroom supplement treats a disease. Read the Maitake canine study on PubMed.

Other research has examined Maitake’s naturally occurring polysaccharides and biological properties. However, research specifically focused on healthy household pets remains limited.

Over 25% Beta-Glucans

One notable feature of Calming Paws is its over 25% beta-glucan content.

Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides found in the cell walls of mushrooms. Researchers have studied different mushroom beta-glucans because their structure and biological activity can vary between species.

Because beta-glucan content can differ between mushroom products, testing provides useful information about the composition of a supplement.

Calming Paws is designed around measurable active compounds rather than unnecessary fillers, giving pet owners more information about what goes into the formula.

Easy to Mix Into Pet Food

Calming Paws comes in a convenient powder format.

You can mix the recommended amount directly into your pet’s food. The product information recommends 1/3 teaspoon (1 g) daily for every 20 lb of body weight. For pets under 10 lb, the recommended starting amount is 500 mg daily.

Always follow the product directions and speak with your veterinarian if you have questions about the appropriate amount for your pet.

Designed for Everyday Pet Wellness

A consistent routine can make supplements easier to incorporate into your pet’s day.

Calming Paws provides a straightforward way to include Reishi and Maitake without capsules or complicated preparation. Simply mix the powder with food according to the recommended serving.

The formula is also organic, vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, and free from fillers. The mushrooms are grown in Canada and the product undergoes testing for active compounds.

When Might Pet Owners Consider Calming Paws?

Some pets encounter situations that can make their normal routine more challenging.

These situations can include:

• Travel and car rides
• Thunderstorms
• Fireworks and loud noises
• Changes in household routines
• New environments
• Separation from their owners
• Other everyday sources of stress

Calming Paws is formulated as a functional mushroom supplement for pets in these situations. However, it should not replace veterinary care or treatment for an underlying medical or behavioral condition.

If your pet shows persistent anxiety, sudden behavioral changes, pain, or other concerning symptoms, consult your veterinarian.
