A lot of the folks here use a mushroom supplement of one kind or another. I have a recipe a friend used for mixing her own mushroom supplement for her dog who fought lymphoma. If you were looking at one of the mushroom supplements and are interested in giving the home mixed a try, PM me and I'll locate it and send it to you.

I didn't use the mushrooms, but gave extra fish oil for immunity. There is a concentrated oil made in New Zealand – Moxxor, that is big with a holistic vet we used toward the end. You might do some research on it.

FYI: We've moved your post here to the Eating Healthy forum.

You'll find lots of canine cancer diet recommendations in the Tripawds Nutrition blog. There are also various homemade dog food cookbooks in the Downloads blog. You might consider starting by reviewing Dr. Dressler's free canine cancer diet ebook.

For supplements, consider these blog posts and forum topics:
