I still have my grand-dog, Gus, on this supplement, and he is still running and chasing the ball during play time. My son is a firm believer in this product, and so am I. I have my younger female dogs on it as well. It is costly, but when I consider eventual vet bills that might be prevented if dogs have this stuff all their lives, I prefer to keep them healthy now so we can avoid some of the absurdly expensive health issues later in life. I can't seem to leave a vet's office without a three-hundred-dollar bill, and that is for basically nothing. Anything serious can be one or two thousand or much higher. It strikes me as being smarter to try to prevent serious issues for as long as we can, and in the meantime, our three dogs are happy, healthy, and enjoying a good playtime with the ball every day. At mealtime, they don't hesitate to eat, and if we didn't get all the powder mixed in well with their food, they lick the bowls clean, getting every last bit of the supplement. After eating, they circle around to see if another dog left any traces of anything in the bowl, and if one misses some of this supplement powder, they lick it up. So it doesn't taste icky to my dogs. I researched the ingredients and am thinking about finding a human version of this stuff. I think the company has done a stellar job of researching what will actually help our dogs--and I know there are human supplements, made of approximately the same stuff, that reviewers rave about. I'm 76, but who knows? If I get the same nutrients, maybe I'll be more energetic as well and help chase that darned ball! First post: I got this, despite the price, just to see. My son has a seven-year-old Aussie who was no longer wanting to chase the ball, who stood back and just didn't seem to care about playing anymore with our two younger dogs. It was so sad to see! He is still so young. I remembered reading about Critical Immune Defense and seeing good reviews. So, despite the cost, I decided to order some. I gave my grand-dog, Gus, his three scoops (he's a larger dog than my girls, so they only get two) on his food per meal for three days. (I did mention to my son that I was doing so. It is his dog, after all.) So we sailed along for three days, and all of a sudden, my grand-dog, Gus, began bursting forward to chase the ball and play. He was like a puppy again, all excited and racing around. It made my heart swell, because I was thinking, "That Stuff is actually Working!" My son said nothing. So, I thought, okay, fine. I can do without spending all that money on snake poison, even though I believed I was seeing a huge change in my grand-dog, Gus. My thought was, "I saw a placebo effect. I convinced myself, so I believed in the hype." My son didn't mention seeing a difference. So, hello, the stuff is expensive. I decided not to buy anymore. I'm not an idiot. So a few days later, my son calls. (We live on the same property, so our dogs all eat together.) "Mom, are you still giving Gus his supplement?" I thought I had messed up, because I wasn't giving him anything. I was, like, WHAT supplement? My son was, like, that stuff that started making him play like a puppy again! He was very upset that I had stopped giving his dog the CID. He would have been eagerly willing to continue the supplement at his own cost and trouble! The difference in the dog was huge. I popped back, saying that he'd never said a word about how it changed Gus. Why would I continue giving it to him? The stuff is costly! (I hope the company can shave away at their overhead to reduce the cost of product. ) Bottom line, this stuff DOES work! It isn't about buying it and only thinking it works. It truly does, and our Gus is suddenly running and playing like a much younger dog. It has given him a new lease on life. I have decided to also give it to my two younger dogs, hopefully as a preventative supplement. And, hello, I'm researching to find a human-grade supplement with mostly the same ingredients. I could stand a boost energy to make me feel better, too! Review: This is a great product. Help my dog save her life. ## Features - Important statistic: According to the American Veterinary Cancer Society, 47% of dogs and 32% of cats over the age of 10 are diagnosed with some form of cancer - Immune system support: Our proprietary, natural critical immune defense supplement boosts your pet’s immune system, creating a protective shield essential for optimal health; designed for dogs and cats of all ages to reduce the risk of serious diseases and viruses - Promotes normal cell growth: Unique blend of four powerful mushrooms, concentrated white turmeric extract, and vitamins to boost Natural Killer (NK) and T-Helper cells; supports your pet’s long-term health by helping good cells eliminate abnormalities - Reduces inflammation: Destroys harmful pathogens such as bacteria and viruses that cause inflammation and infection; antioxidants in the supplement help improve cellular health, contributing to better quality of life and longevity - Scientifically crafted and produced with high process standards: Developed by scientists and veterinarians to be a highly effective immune booster; made in the USA using natural ingredients, free from artificial flavors, colors, or fillers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07FWPPGWT | | Batteries Included | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #70,852 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #1,009 in Dog Supplements & Vitamins | | Breed Recommendation | All Breed Sizes | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (1,528) | | Date First Available | 25 November 2019 | | Flavor | Mushroom | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Weight | 179 g | | Item model number | CID | | Package Dimensions | 12.4 x 6.91 x 6.81 cm; 179.74 g | | Pet Type | Cat, Dogs | | Quantity | 1 | | Size | Pack of 1 | | Specific Uses | Immune Defense | | batteries required | No | ## Product Details - **Brand:** VetSmart Formulas - **Dog Breed Size:** Large - **Flavour:** Mushroom - **Item form:** Powder - **Item weight:** 6.34 Ounces ## Images ![Critical Immune Defense for Dogs & Cats; Supports Normal Cell Growth - Turkey Tail, Reishi, Shiitake and Maitake Mushroom Formula with Patented White Turmeric Root Extract - 30-Day Supply - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EfFkLqawL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Question for the manufacturer.

Most sincerely, Pet Wellness Direct Customer Support **Q: Is the turkey tail just the "fruiting" part or does it include the rooting part too?** A: Thank you for your question about Critical Immune Defense. Our product has been helping so many dogs and cats, and we’re very proud of the results. Regarding your questions, we use a water-based extract process as we’ve found this gives us the best consistency and effectiveness. The ratios do vary based on the mushrooms and the batch. As a reference point, our hero mushroom in Critical Immune Defense is a very special Turkey Tail mushroom, and that ratio is 20:1. So that means we use 20 pounds of the whole fruiting body mushrooms to derive one pound of extract powder. We hope that helps, and feel free to let us know any other questions. **Q: Are these mushroom grown on wood or grains?** A: Our mushrooms are of the highest quality to maintain the specifications and standardization of Polysaccharides, Peptides and other nutrients. They are grown via liquid culture cultivation process in an enclosed stainless-steel tank (also known as a bio-reactor). The bio-reactor is partially filled with water and filled with nutrients that are usually a mixture of grains such as non-GMO soybeans, yeast and glucose. That is how the mushrooms are grown. We hope this information helps, and you give Critical Immune Defense a try. Your pet will thank you! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***R on 9 August 2024* Update: We have only one bottle of powder left, so I'm reordering.

Help my dog save her life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***. on 22 December 2025* On November 30th, CID arrived, and I was eager to write this review with high hopes that the lump on my fur baby's back leg would disappear or shrink. I am giving this powder a 5-star rating at this time for its taste; my dogs love it, they do not get loose stools from it, and the essential vitamins are a bonus. It is now December 22, and I will post a photo of the lump on fur baby's back leg. I am not sure if it is shrinking or not. I do not notice a difference at this time, but I am continuing CID with hopes that it will work. This is the 2nd jar and I will see what happens when the jar is finished. My fur baby has visited the vet, and it was confirmed the lumps are lipomas and due to his age, 8, and his immune system is slowing down. It was advised to keep an eye on the lumps and if they get bothersome, they could remove them. I have found in my experience as a pet owner, the lumps come back or multiply. Only time will tell. ## Frequently Bought Together - Critical Immune Defense for Dogs & Cats; Supports Normal Cell Growth - Turkey Tail, Reishi, Shiitake and Maitake Mushroom Formula with Patented White Turmeric Root Extract - 30-Day Supply - VetSmart Advanced Hip and Joint Complex with MSM - Provides Relief of Dog Joint Pain - 100% Natural Pain Relief - Pet Probiotics for Dogs Supplement - Supports Digestive Enzymes for Nutrient Absorption - 15 Billion Active Probiotic Cultures Attack Inflammation to Prevent Infection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/716737761-critical-immune-defense-for-dogs-and-cats-supports-normal-cell](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/716737761-critical-immune-defense-for-dogs-and-cats-supports-normal-cell) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
