Our Mushroom Immunity PLUS formula appears to be similar to the Buddy Guard™ supplement you mentioned in your question. However, two important distinctions include our use of organic mushroom extracts in our mushroom formula and this greatly improves the nutritional availability of the beta-glucans from the mushrooms. Our mushroom formula also includes a key component of the immune system called lactoferrin. There is rarely a single magic bullet for a pet health concern and that is why we develop holistic protocols. Mushrooms can certainly help to improve the immune system and lymphatic system to help cleanse these fatty growths. Other causes of fatty lipomas include poor digestion and that is why we suggest our Daily Multi Plus for dogs with lipomas as this supplement contains digestive enzymes and probiotics that help a dog and cat to better digest their food. We also suggest our Systemic Enzyme formula as this will help to dissolve lipomas and cleanse the system. Improving liver health is very important as the liver helps to eliminate excess cholesterol and fats so they don't accumulate in the system and cause lipomas and our Liver Tonic is very helpful for this purpose. Lastly, most commercial pet foods contain high amounts of carbohydrates and other ingredients that dogs have a hard time properly digesting and these can promote the formation of lipomas as a dog ages. Your dog could benefit from a healthy, whole food diet. This diet can be home-prepared, a premix to which you add your own meat or a commercially prepared whole food diet. We offer suggestions in our article How to Feed Your Dog.
