Why we ran this test
Pawfy Multi-Mushroom has picked up a real following among dog owners. It sells for about $30 a jar, the soft chews taste like turkey so dogs eat them without a fuss, and it stacks ten different actives into each piece. For an owner who wants a broad mushroom-and-adaptogen blend in an easy treat, I understand the appeal.
Then a reader told me about Lumiqour Turkey Tail+ Probiotic. It runs $39.99 a jar with a buy-one-get-one offer, and instead of spreading the load across ten ingredients, it puts a full 1,000 mg of Turkey Tail mushroom in every scoop and adds a billion CFU of live probiotic. It is bacon-flavored too, so picky dogs still clean the bowl. I wanted to find out whether that focused dose and the probiotic actually mattered, or whether a well-liked ten-ingredient chew was already enough for most senior dogs.
So I ran both for three months. Two senior dogs with benign fatty lumps. Scoops and chews measured out. Bowls watched. Lumps checked every week. Here is what I learned.

Formula quality and potency
This section mattered to me more than any other. My dogs got a serving daily for three months, so how much active they were getting and whether their bodies could use it counted for a lot. I sat down with both panels, checked the milligrams, and watched how each one landed at dinner time.
- Each scoop carries a proper 1,000 mg of organic Turkey Tail, the kind of amount that actually does something instead of a pinch for the label
- Alongside it sits 1 Billion CFU of Lactobacillus acidophilus, there to help open up the mushroom's tough cell walls
- The idea is simple: the probiotic helps the gut take the Turkey Tail in rather than let it slip through unused
- Two ingredients and nothing else, which means your vet can scan the whole panel in about five seconds
- It tastes like bacon, so it goes down with dinner instead of sitting untouched in the bowl
- A ten-ingredient chew that stacks six mushrooms and an adaptogen with a couple of calming botanicals
- The Turkey Tail portion is 50 mg, one small slice of the blend rather than the headline act
- There is no probiotic here, so getting the actives absorbed is left to your dog's own gut
- Spreading the total across ten different actives keeps the amount of any single one on the low side
- Turkey flavored and made as a soft chew, so most dogs treat it like a snack and eat it happily
Both are honest formulas, so it really comes down to what you are after. Pawfy casts a wide net: ten actives covering several mushrooms, a couple of adaptogens, and some calming botanicals, all in an easy soft chew. Lumiqour goes the other way, pouring a full 1,000 mg of Turkey Tail into one scoop and pairing it with a probiotic to help the gut absorb it. If you want a bit of everything, Pawfy gives you more variety. If your dog's fatty lumps are the reason you are shopping, Lumiqour's 1,000 mg of Turkey Tail against Pawfy's 50 mg is hard to argue with.
What's actually in each scoop
Both rely on mushrooms, but the way they assemble the formula is where they part ways. Look at how many ingredients each one uses, what they cut, and you already know most of the story.
- Two ingredients, full stop: organic Turkey Tail mushroom and Lactobacillus acidophilus
- No fillers, no synthetic binders, nothing thrown in to bulk up the scoop
- Organic Certified, Non-GMO, and put together with working veterinarians
- Turkey Tail is the mushroom with the longest research track record for immune support
- Every jar comes with a free e-guide, complete with monitoring charts and questions to bring to your vet
- Bacon flavored, so the scoop vanishes into dinner without any fuss
- Ten actives per chew: Shiitake, Ashwagandha root, Cordyceps, Reishi, Lion's Mane, Tremella, Turkey Tail, Brewer's yeast, lavender, and rosemary
- 3rd-party lab tested, GMP and SQF certified, and made in the USA
- An NASC member with no artificial colors, flavors, hormones, or antibiotics
- The Turkey Tail dose is 50 mg, one of ten pieces of the puzzle here
- No probiotic in the mix, so absorption is left up to your dog's own gut
- Turkey flavored soft chews, which makes daily dosing about as easy as handing over a treat
Pawfy deserves credit here. A ten-active chew that clears NASC, GMP, and SQF and comes with 3rd-party lab testing is a solid, well-documented product, and the soft chew makes it genuinely easy to give every day. Lumiqour keeps its own label down to two ingredients by choice, betting that one properly dosed mushroom plus a probiotic beats a thin spread of ten. Neither one pads the formula with junk. If you want a broad blend of mushrooms and adaptogens, Pawfy is the fuller stack. If you want a big Turkey Tail dose with a probiotic to help absorb it, Lumiqour is built around that one job.
Taste and how the dogs reacted
A supplement your dog refuses is money sitting in a cupboard. Over the 90 days I watched how quickly each one got eaten and whether my fussier tester turned his nose up. Nine times out of ten, a daily dose stops happening because the dog decided it tasted wrong.
- Stirred into dinner, both dogs went for it on the first day with zero convincing
- The bacon flavor earns its keep. Even my picky tester cleaned out the bowl
- The powder is fine enough to cling to the kibble instead of sinking to the bottom
- One scoop over dinner and the bacon smell had both dogs at the bowl before I finished pouring
- It reads as meaty, not mushroomy, and that seems to be what sold the dogs on it
- These are turkey-flavored soft chews, so you just hand one over like a treat
- Both dogs took the chew straight from my hand, no bowl or mixing needed
- The turkey flavor did its job; my fussy tester ate it without a second look
- Handing over a chew is faster than measuring a scoop when you're rushing out the door
- One dog chewed and swallowed, the other treated it like a snack to savor, both fine either way
Honestly, flavor came out close to a tie. Lumiqour's bacon scoop went down clean from the first bowl, even with my picky tester, and Pawfy's turkey chew got eaten just as happily. The chew wins on convenience since you skip the bowl entirely, while the scoop mixes into whatever your dog already eats. If your dog inhales anything you put down, neither one gives you trouble. If you'd rather hand over a treat than measure powder, the chew is the easier sell. Both dogs ate both, so I wouldn't pick on taste alone.
Daily use and dosing
This is the part you actually live with each morning, from getting it into your dog to keeping the jar stocked. Both set the dose by your dog's weight, so what really separates them is how much fuss the routine adds.
- Dose runs by weight: one scoop up to 24 lbs, two from 25 to 50, three from 51 lbs on up
- The scoop lives in the jar, so getting it into dinner takes a couple of seconds
- Thirty servings a jar, so a small dog gets about a month and a big one burns through it faster
- Buy one get one free means you almost never hit the bottom of the jar unexpectedly
- Snap the lid back on and the powder stays dry, no clumping across the month
- The free e-guide comes with a simple chart for tracking the lump week by week
- Because it's a soft chew, there's nothing to measure or scoop, you just count out chews
- Snap the lid back on and the chews keep fine between doses
- Dose runs by weight: one chew up to 30 lbs, two from 31 to 60, three from 61 to 90, four past that
- A 90-lb dog eats four chews a day, so a bigger dog empties the jar quicker
- Thirty chews per jar, which is roughly a month for a smaller dog
- No spoon and no clean-up, the whole thing is over in the time it takes to hand off a treat
Here Pawfy has the edge on ease. A soft chew skips the scoop entirely, so there's nothing to measure and nothing to wipe up. Lumiqour asks you to portion powder by weight into the bowl, which takes a few extra seconds each morning. That said, both dose by weight, both give you thirty servings a jar, and Lumiqour throws in a care guide plus the buy one get one offer so you're rarely caught short. If a fuss-free handoff is what you want, the chew wins the morning. If you don't mind a scoop, the difference is small.
Vet backing and safety
Both brands lean on vets and quality seals in their marketing. I dug into what each one actually puts on paper, which vets they name, and how the certifications stack up.
- Vet formulated and vet approved, with Dr. Emily Conquest, DVM named on record
- Consultants named in veterinary oncology, canine gastroenterology, and orthopedic surgery back the formula
- Built around Turkey Tail and gut-immune work in dogs, framed as wellness support and not a cure
- Two ingredients at clear doses, 1,000 mg Turkey Tail and a 1 Billion CFU probiotic, so your own vet can read the label at a glance
- Third-party verified, and meant to sit alongside regular checkups rather than replace them
- The free e-guide even lists questions to ask your vet, which I genuinely appreciated
- Endorsed by Dr. Daisy May, DVM, so there's a named vet behind it
- NASC member, GMP and SQF certified, third-party lab tested, and made in the USA under cGMP
- A broad 10-ingredient stack, six mushrooms and an adaptogen plus botanicals, aimed at general wellness
- The blend spreads thin though, with only 50 mg of Turkey Tail per chew and no probiotic in the mix
- The quality seals are real and reassuring, but there's no dog-specific trial for the lump angle
- Mushroom blends like this are usually well tolerated, and the clean-sourcing certs help on safety
Both have real credentials, so this isn't a case of one being legitimate and the other not. Pawfy carries a vet endorsement from Dr. Daisy May, NASC membership, GMP and SQF certification, and third-party lab testing, which are genuine quality signals. Lumiqour names Dr. Emily Conquest, DVM plus oncology, gastroenterology, and orthopedic consultants, and it's built specifically around fatty lumps rather than general wellness. If you want a formula you can hand your vet and talk through for a lump-focused senior dog, Lumiqour gives you more to point at. If you're after a broad, well-certified mushroom stack, Pawfy holds up fine.
Guarantee and returns
A money-back guarantee is the cheapest read you get on how much a company trusts its own product. Here both offer one, and the difference comes down to length.
- A 90-day results-or-your-money-back guarantee, which is a long runway for a daily supplement
- The guarantee assumes daily use, so it rewards giving the formula a fair and consistent run
- Returns and refunds go straight through Lumiqour instead of an outside marketplace
- Free shipping kicks in on orders over $60, which the bundles clear easily
- Backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee, so there's a real safety net if it doesn't suit your dog
- Sixty days is a solid window, though it's a month shorter than Lumiqour's
- Free shipping across the board, and the price drops when you buy two or three jars
- Subscribe and save is on offer if you want it sent automatically each month
Both stand behind their product, which I like to see. Lumiqour puts a 90-day money-back promise on the results, and Pawfy offers 60. For a supplement you have to use daily for weeks before you can judge it, that extra month matters, since a lump takes time to soften and 60 days can run out before you have a clear read. Either way you're covered if it doesn't work out, but the longer window gives you more room to actually test whether it helps your dog.
What it actually costs to keep buying
A single jar of Pawfy is $30, so on the shelf it looks like the cheaper choice. But Lumiqour ships buy one get one free at $39.99, which puts each jar at roughly $20 and about $0.66 a scoop. Both are dosed by weight, so a heavier dog empties either one faster. Once you count a full year of daily feeding, the two land a lot closer than the price tags suggest.
Jar for jar, Pawfy carries the lower sticker at $30. I won't pretend otherwise. But Lumiqour's buy one get one deal drops each jar to around $20, so across a year of daily feeding the two costs sit close together, and Lumiqour often comes out a little cheaper. On top of that, every Lumiqour scoop packs a full 1,000 mg of Turkey Tail against Pawfy's 50 mg, and it throws in a probiotic that Pawfy skips entirely. You end up paying about the same money for a lot more in each serving.

On sticker price Pawfy comes in a little lower, about $30 for a jar of 30 soft chews against Lumiqour's $39.99. Lumiqour runs a Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal though, so once the free jar is counted the per-scoop cost lands close, and you get far more Turkey Tail for it. Pawfy packs ten actives into each chew, but only 50 mg of that is Turkey Tail and there is no probiotic in the mix. Lumiqour puts a full 1,000 mg of Turkey Tail in every scoop, adds a billion CFU of probiotic to help the gut use it, and backs the jar with a 90-day guarantee against Pawfy's 60 days. If you want variety in an easy chew, Pawfy makes sense. If your dog's fatty lumps are the reason you are buying, Lumiqour's dose is the one I'd feed.
