A very helpful supplement - coupled with others to treat a tumor in our beloved cat Taylor
We have two 15 year old male cats, Taylor and Alex. Someone had abandoned the two of them near our house. They look to be Maine Coons, or a mix of that bread. We took them in and have loved every day with them. They are both indoor / outdoor cats and are feed a high protein dry food daily along with a snack.Earlier this year, in the spring, Taylor developed a limp that we started noticing and then beginning in June we began to notice that his left shoulder was protruding, a little at first, and then more noticeably. Looked kinda like it was dislocated. Initially, we thought the limp was simply due to old age and protruding shoulder was due to a physical injury from jumping down from a high place. Prior to this he was still eating as usual, somewhat picky, but still as usual. He was also drinking water, behaving and sleeping as he normally would.So we brought Taylor to the vet in late June (hadn't been since getting all his shots and neutered when he was a kitten). I showed the vet a video of Taylor walking towards me while in the family room, so that he could see his gait in a more natural setting than in the vets office. After he examined Taylor, the vet said he suspected it was a tumor that had wrapped itself around his shoulder. He couldn't say with certainty until an xray was done. When the xray results came back, he confirmed what we had hoped he wouldn't. It was a tumor. The vet said he was pretty certain it was cancerous, but would only be able to know more definitively if we did a biopsy, which of course would be an additional cost. We went through a bunch of scenarios from, if it was cancerous, what are the options for a 15 year old cat? Everything from amputation of the affected leg/shoulder to radiation and chemotherapy. We decided against any of the invasive procedures due to his age and what he might gain (perhaps a few months?) from all of that and instead opted to try and give him as much pain relief as possible (keeping in mind that up to that point, he really hadn't changed his daily behavior). So we went home with a prescription for gabapentin drops to help ease any nerve discomfort / pain. We gave him 1 dose and it made him so drowsy he didn't want to eat, we discontinued it's use.Well, I'm the type that likes to look for potential alternative solutions. So I started doing some research into any available cat supplements for cancer, knowing that there isn't a 'magic bullet' out there, but rather looking for something that would give our beloved Taylor a better quality of life in his twilight years. Perhaps even slowing the progression of the disease.I found a number of products to try, and started giving them to Taylor, mixed with his usual daily treat of Temptations Classic dry treats. We have been feeding him these supplements since late June of this year (about 4 months now), and the results are very encouraging. The tumor around his should has shown no visible signs of getting larger and seems to be just a bit smaller, though that could be our wishful thinking (it's not, however getting noticably larger though). He walks with far less limping (perhaps around a 60-70% reduction) and he maintains his daily routine of eating and drinking regularly, going outside to walk around and lay in the sun and climbing our stairs to sleep on our bed in our 2nd story house. So lots of climbing and jumping.Here are the nutritional supplements we give Taylor once a day:1/4 Tsp - PureAll by Simien Pets: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SQORJSS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=11/4 Tsp - Omega-3 by Simien Pets: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0161JI55K/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=11/8 Tsp - Immunity by Bixbi: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0048ZAR5G/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=110 Drops - CoQ10 by Stay Well Pets: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CSWID1Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=18 Drops - Life Gold by Pet Wellbeing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BCQR10I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1Now, I'm not a vet (nor a medical doctor) but I do have a degree in BioChemistry and some graduate work in Molecular Biology / Immunology so I can appreciate what these supplements have the potential to do for animals cells (especially those stressed by a disease like cancer). The number one key thing to remember (in addition to there being no 'magic bullets' out there) is that these are supplements, and not replacements so it's important that some kind of balanced diet is maintained where possible. And while we are hopeful Taylor's tumor is not actually cancerous (benign), we realize it is most likely cancerous (malignant) so we are trying to do everything we can using supplements to give him as many pain free/less pain, quality days as we can going forward - So far, with great results.

Highly reccommended especially for cancer paitents
My dog was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer over 4 years ago. I have used a nutritionist to help with cancer fighting foods and supplements. My vet reccommended to put her on regular glucosamine which is sugar based even though they say its is different I was advised by the nutritionist not to use the sugar based one. We all know the rule for cancer, no sugar and no carbs! She was on the regular glucosamine for one month (only because I didn't realize it was sugar based) and a huge lump showed up on her neck, I was really freaking out. When my nutritionist told me not to give her the sugar based one that there was other options and he recommend Bixbi since its mushroom based. I took her off the sugar based one immediately and started using Bixbi. She has done very well with it! I want to report one month after using Bixbi her lump is almost gone!! I am so happy that this product works and should be a huge recommendation for other cancer patients like my dog! Needless to say the vet is amazed on how happy and healthy she is! He says she should not be here. It goes to show if you choose the right medications and diet it really will save your life! She is cancer free for 4 plus years!!!

I will definitely tell my dog friends to use this product before their pet gets sick.
I originally bought this Superfood for my 9 year old Golden Retriever, who has Fibrosarcom Cancer in her sinus cavity. I was hoping to stop or slow down the tumor growth. I can't say it help with that but, OMG she is doing so good after two weeks on it. She sleeps less, hangs out with us and seems to be more peppy. I was told by my Vet that she has never seen a dog with this type of Cancer live more then 6 mo. She is going on 7 mo. and is doing really good. I will definitely keep her on this Superfood and giving her all my love until I have to saty goodbye to her!

Finally have hope
I prefer to treat things naturally as much as possible, and I don't often write reviews because most products either don't work or are mediocre at best. Not Bixbi Immunity Superfood. We adopted our male cat at 4 months old, he will soon be 6 years old. Shortly after bringing him home we found out that he has the Calicivirus, for which there is no cure. The most frequent symptoms he would get are the horrible rodent ulcers on his lip, which would get very raw. Steroid shots would help heal them somewhat. Last summer I took in two bonded 2 year old boy kitties. This really stressed my resident cat out and he got very sick. My new vet practices Chinese medicine along with traditional and we tried all kinds of things to boost his immune system. Most of the time it was a battle getting him to take the formulas, and thus stressing him out even more. As a last resort my vet mentioned a colleague having success with a 5 Mushroom tincture. I looked it up on Amazon and saw that it had alcohol as a preservative, not something I wanted for my cat, but I did see in the reviews a recommendation to check out Bixbi Immunity. AND BOY AM I GLAD I DID. I bought this product and started Ziggy on it right away... his mouth ulcers began healing immediately and now, after several months, only the scars are left. He has not had a flare up since using this product, which has been just over 2 months now. For the first time I have hope that I have found something that will help him.

Slows Cancer Growth Like Nobody's Business
15 years ago, I had a big grey cat named 'Murphy' who was diagnosed with bone cancer. The vet said she had 1 month to live. I began supplementing her food with IMMUNITY -- just one of the large end of the included scoop in every meal. She lived another 9 months with decent quality of life. It did not cure her cancer but it sure slowed it down. Now I have a sweet Tabby cat named 'Jasper' who is 15 years old. He has been diagnosed with a fast moving cancer in his mouth. I have been giving him IMMUNITY -- same dose as above -- and it is now 9 weeks after the vet said he had 2 weeks to live. He doesn't have long left but once again, the IMMUNITY has slowed his cancer down. My vet still doesn't believe it but I have no doubt. Been through it twice now. I am now feeding it to my other 15 year old cat, 'Mr. Slick', as a preventative. I hope he never has to face cancer like my 'Murphy' and my 'Jasper'.

WHO KNEW?
Bixbi Skin and Coat is the Bomb.com! My 4 year old chihuahua was always itchy, and was losing fur in patches, all along her body. I have been mixing the Bixbi powder into her food, for 3 months, and she is way less itchy, and her fur less patches are growing back in. She has so much new hair coming in. I will keep using Bixbi Skin and Coat every day!

AWESOME PRODUCT
GREAT product! My beagle mix dog had a nasty wart in the flap of his ear. After reading about immune deficiencies or weak immune systems in dogs that causes wart viruses (and of course after going to the vets as well), I was on the hunt for a supplement to help rid of it.I came across IMMUNITY, read review and decided to try it out and I can't tell you how happy I am with it. The wart was an ugly cauliflower shape the size of half my thumbnail. Shortly after giving IMMUNITY to my dog, it has shrunk significantly, about the size or half the size of a rice grain I guess. Highly recommend!

Made from an assortment of well known medicinal mushrooms
Very good product. It is not the first time I buy this product, but it is the first time I buy it on Amazon. It is made from many kind of mushrooms, all well known for their medicinal properties. I use to give it to my dog who had allergies and it did work great in relieving her of her allergies. Now 5 years later, she has lumps on her breast . I hope this product will also help her in this case.

Awesome stuff
My great Pyrenees really suffers with allergies. After a couple of days the scratching and sneezing stopped. Also suffers with ear infections and his ears are really clearing up. I did check around for pricing as need needs quite a bit.

Very happy about that
Item arrived very quickly I wasn't expecting it until the end of the month as it said expected delivery between Decemvber 20-29. Very happy about that. Already gave my dog his first couple scoops, I mixed it in with his food as he's extremely picky. He could tell there was something up right away, but managed to finish his dinner, just took a little longer.
