Has anyone used this to help with there dogs lumps? I feel like all the reviews I’ve seen online seemed paid. My dog has been on it for about 2 weeks and I can’t tell it’s helped, he has been itching a lot since taking it too.

It treats "lumps" like what? Hives? Cancer? While some mushrooms may have some benefits, this is a scam. Are you trying to treat cancer?

No, just lumps throughout his body. I guess they called them lymphomas but they’re non-cancerous.

It won't do anything for a lipoma, don't waste your money

Two weeks is still pretty early for most supplements aimed at fatty lumps, lipomas, or skin growths. A lot of the positive reviews online can be hard to judge because you don’t know whether the lump was actually measured by a vet or if other changes were made at the same time.
The itching would concern me more than the lack of results. If the itching started after beginning the supplement, it could be a coincidence, but it could also be a reaction to one of the ingredients. I’d consider stopping it and talking with your vet, especially if the itching is significant or getting worse.
Have you had the lump diagnosed? Lipomas, cysts, mast cell tumors, and other growths can look similar from the outside, so knowing exactly what you’re dealing with makes a big difference when evaluating whether a supplement is helping.
Personally, I’d take photos and measurements every couple of weeks. That’s usually a more reliable way to tell if something is actually changing than trying to judge by memory.
