If Another Lump Appears,
Don’t Just Ask “What Is It?”
Ask This Instead.
Most lump advice starts after the bump appears. There is another approach that starts before the next one shows up.
New or changing lumps should always be evaluated by your veterinarian.
Every New Lump Starts The Same Cycle.
You feel something under your dog’s skin.
You check it.
Maybe your vet tells you to monitor it.
Then one day...
You find another one.
Getting a new lump checked is the right thing to do. But checking each lump only answers one question:
“What is this lump?”
“Why does my dog keep getting them?”
That is the question most lump advice never gets around to. And it changes what you can do next.
The Lump You Can Feel May Not Be The Whole Problem.
Dogs change as they get older, and some of the natural defense and repair systems their bodies have relied on for years can become harder to maintain with age.
Many lumps are benign. New or changing lumps should still be evaluated appropriately.
But when they keep appearing, the recurring pattern raises a different question.
OLD WAYDeal with every lump separately.
NEW WAYLook at recurring lumps as one ongoing pattern.
OLD WAYTake action only when one appears.
NEW WAYSupport your dog every day.
OLD WAYAlways feel one step behind.
NEW WAYStart before the next lump.
The goal is to stop making each lump the only time you think about the problem.
A simple way to track the pattern instead of one bump at a time.
This Is Where Functional Mushrooms Get Interesting.
Functional mushrooms offer a simple way to give an aging dog consistent daily support.
They can support the natural defense systems your dog relies on as they get older.
And unlike reacting only when another lump appears, that support can happen every single day.
Meet Petsmont Buddy Guard.
Daily Functional Mushroom Support For Dogs Who Keep Getting Lumps & Bumps.

What’s Inside?
Buddy Guard has 9 organic functional mushroom ingredients and nothing else. Nothing your dog doesn’t need. No inactive ingredients. You can inspect the label and see the latest independent lab results below.
WHAT DOG OWNERS ACTUALLY WANT IS SIMPLE
Fewer lumps overall. And real changes they can see or feel in the ones already there.
Before and after 90 days on Buddy Guard. Every dog is different, and individual results vary. Buddy Guard is nutritional support, not a treatment. New or changing lumps should be evaluated by your veterinarian.
What Changes Might You Notice Over Time?
The best way to judge Buddy Guard is to know where your dog started, stay consistent, and look for the kinds of changes that may appear along the way.
Know Where You’re Starting.
Take a photo, note the approximate size of the lumps you’re monitoring, and pay attention to how they feel.
You’ll have something real to compare against later instead of relying on memory.

Baseline, measured and photographed on day one.
Pay Attention To How The Lump Feels.
Some owners report that one of the first noticeable changes is a lump feeling softer or less firm, often before any difference in size becomes obvious.

Month 1. Same size, but it feels softer.
Now Compare It To Where You Started.
Changes in size may become easier to see, feel or measure.
Go back to the photos and notes you took at the beginning and compare against a real starting point.

Month 3. 13.2 mm on the calipers.
Look At The Bigger Trend.
Larger or long-standing lumps may change more gradually.
Look at size, texture and how the overall lump situation compares with where your dog started.

Day 1 next to Month 6, with the sheet in between.
Changes can be gradual and vary by dog.
Dog Owners Started Noticing Real Changes.
Some owners first notice a lump feeling softer. Others notice an existing lump becoming smaller, or the overall lump problem moving in a better direction.
But we wanted to know whether the physical changes they kept describing could actually be measured.
Customer Stories Got Our Attention. Measurements Made Us Take Them Seriously.
So we ran a pilot study and measured the same lumps before and after consistent Buddy Guard use.
50%
of the 32 paired lumps showed at least a 20% reduction on the study’s 3-D size index.
28%
were reduced by at least half.
The pilot gave us a measurable signal worth investigating further.
BUDDY GUARD PILOT STUDY
Research note: baseline-to-post response using the clinical 3-D size index. Small prospective pilot. n = 32 paired measured lipomas (benign lumps). No placebo group. Responses varied.
The customer stories were no longer something we could simply dismiss.
So we kept digging.
We Didn’t Decide Lumps Would Be Our ‘Marketing Angle.’
Our Customers Made Us Investigate It.
Buddy Guard originally started as a simple way to give dogs daily functional mushroom support.
Then something happened that we hadn’t planned for.
Customers started writing to us about their dogs’ lumps. A lump felt softer. A bump looked smaller. Then we heard another story. And another.
We had two choices.
Turn those stories into ads, or spend our own money finding out whether there was actually something measurable going on.
We chose to measure it.
That’s how a functional mushroom supplement became a research project, and it’s why we’re still studying what Buddy Guard may be able to do.
This wasn’t the result we originally built Buddy Guard around.
The next question is why functional mushrooms might be able to support an aging dog in the first place.
Functional Mushrooms Contain Something Called Beta-Glucans.
Beta-glucans are naturally occurring compounds found in mushroom cell walls. They’ve been studied for their role in supporting normal immune function.
That gives a biological rationale for daily functional mushroom support, rather than reacting to one lump at a time.
It’s support for the dog behind the lumps, every day.
Beta-glucans occur naturally in the cell walls of functional mushrooms.
You Shouldn’t Have To Choose Between Buddy Guard And Your Vet.
New or changing lumps should still be evaluated. Sometimes monitoring is appropriate, and sometimes your vet may recommend testing, removal, or another intervention.
Buddy Guard does a different job.

Determine what it is when needed.

Still Have A Question Before You Try Buddy Guard?
Here are the questions dog owners ask us most before getting started.
Lumps do not all respond the same way.
Older or larger lumps may change more gradually, and some may not shrink at all. That’s why we recommend starting with a baseline and judging the overall trend over time rather than expecting every lump to behave the same way.
Don’t guess.
Buddy Guard is nutritional support, not a diagnostic tool or a treatment for cancer. New, changing, painful, fast-growing, or otherwise concerning lumps should be evaluated by your veterinarian.
Follow your veterinarian’s guidance for your individual dog.
Buddy Guard is not a replacement for a medically appropriate procedure. It is daily nutritional support that can be used alongside responsible veterinary care.
Think in months, not days.
Take a photo or measurement before you start, use Buddy Guard consistently, and compare changes in size, firmness, texture and the overall lump pattern over time.
That’s also why we recommend enough supply for a meaningful starting period.
Buddy Guard is a fine powder designed to mix directly into food.
Most owners simply stir the measured amount into their dog’s normal meal. For a picky dog, mixing it into wet food or a small amount of something they already enjoy can make the routine easier.
If your dog takes prescription medication, has a diagnosed medical condition, or is already using several supplements, check with your veterinarian before adding Buddy Guard.
Buddy Guard is not recommended for dogs with kidney or liver disease/damage, or insulin-dependent diabetes, without approval and oversight from your veterinarian.
Your veterinarian knows your dog’s individual medical history.
No.
