Your dog has a lipoma. Your vet says: wait and see. Science says otherwise.

From the editorial team · Dog advice

A lipoma the size of a golf ball on the flank of a 9-year-old dog. "Not dangerous," according to the vet. But harmless doesn't mean without consequences.

You know that feeling.

You're sitting in the car after the vet appointment. Your hand is still warm from the lump you can't get out of your head.

The vet said, "It's just fat. Keep an eye on it." He wasn't wrong.

But he didn't tell you everything.

Because what does "keep an eye on it" actually mean? It means watching it grow. Coming back in six months with the same question. Going home with the same answer. Doing nothing.

You're not alone. Over 150,000 dogs develop a lipoma every year in Germany. And almost all of their owners leave the vet with the same answer: wait.

"My vet says it's normal. But every time I put my hand on that bump, I wonder if I'm missing something important."

— Statement from a survey of 400 owners of older dogs

What "observing" really means.

Without addressing the underlying cause, lipomas continue to grow. What was once the size of an olive can, within a few months, require complex surgery.

A lipoma will not disappear on its own. They grow.Slowly,silently. And the larger they grow, the more complex, risky, and expensive the surgery becomes.

As long as the underlying cause remains untreated, new lipomas will form. Even after surgery—which is why they recur in 68% of operated dogs within 18 months.

"I see far too many patients who have waited too long. What could have been a simple procedure becomes a lengthy, risky, and significantly more expensive operation."

- Dr. Peter Stahl

Why lipomas are not a coincidence - but a signal from the immune system

70–80% of your dog's immune systemresides in the gut.There, cells work to control and break down fat deposits.From the age of 7–8 years,the intestinal barrier weakens.Silent inflammation develops—invisible, but steadily.

When these immune cells decline,the body can no longer stop uncontrolled fat growth.The lumps form. And they grow—slowly, insidiously, but relentlessly.

These are not harmless bumps. They restrict movement,cause underlying discomfort, and gradually diminish your dog'squality of life.And that's precisely why lipomas often recur after surgery.The operation removes the lump—but not the weakened immune systemthat caused it.

So the question is not whether you act — but how.

If a lipoma is an immune system problem, there are three ways to deal with it. Most dog owners only know two of them.

There are 3 options for a lipoma,not just 2.

Option 1

Wait and see.The standard recommendation. The lipoma grows. The immune system weakens further. The next lipoma is already forming.

Option 2

Surgical removal (-€1,500)Removes the bump, not the cause. Real risk of anesthesia from age 8. Recovery period 2 to 4 weeks. And a 68% relapse rate within 18 months. The weakened immune system remains unchanged.

Targeting the root cause of the lipoma directly. Without surgery. Without anesthesia. Without stress.

Thousands of dog owners have chosen exactly this approach — and science supports them:

Research confirms: Lipomas can be treated naturally.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania havestudied a fungusthat measurably reactivates the immune system of dogs: 

Turkey Tail(Trametes auricularia).

The results were surprising:→ Immune cells areboosted by 131%—precisely the cells that prevent the formation of lipomas.

→ Natural killer cells are reactivated—theyattack lipomas at their rootand ensure the natural breakdown of fatty deposits.

In the wild, wolves instinctively seek out these very fungi—their bodies know what they need.Domestic dogs don't have this access.

If your dog is already developing lipomas, this is a clear sign that its intestinal flora is no longer working as it should.

Therefore, he also needs a targeted probiotic. It restores the gut flora—and ensures that the active ingredients in Turkey Tail reach where they are needed.

The probiotic repairs the gut. Together, they address the root cause of the problem—and where it becomes visible.

Fellkraft® Turkey Tail+ was developed specifically for this combination:

Fellkraft® Turkey Tail is a powder with a natural bacon flavor that is simply sprinkled over the food. One action. Every evening.Just three natural active ingredients. No frills. And that's exactly what makes it so effective:

Your vet probably never mentioned that.

That's understandable. Turkey tail in veterinary medicine is still a relatively new discipline in Europe—it simply doesn't have a place in standard training.

But the research does exist. The University of Pennsylvania study is publicly available on PubMed. You can show it to your vet—many are open to it once they're familiar with the data.

“Medicinal mushrooms have a direct effect on the immune system. When I see a dog developing lipomas, the first thing I look at is its immunity—that's where it all starts.”

Susanne Kurz, dog therapist

"Turkey Tail is one of the first remedies I recommend as soon as a dog develops lipomas. To prevent them from getting bigger — and from new ones forming."

In 6 to 8 weeks.

Now place your hand on your dog's side. Feel the lump .Its size. Its consistency.

In six weeks, you'll reach for the same spot again. And you'll have to look longer. It will be softer, less pronounced, or in most cases, gone.

And then, one morning, your dog wakes up before you.

He trots over to his food bowl. 

He follows you into the kitchen—just like when he was four years old.

 You didn't spend €1,500. He didn't have to take antibiotics for three weeks after any surgery.

You sprinkled a scoop of coat-strengthening powder over his foodevery evening. For six weeks.

That's exactly what you can test with the 90-day guarantee:

If your dog isn't healthier, you get your money back.

You have 90 days to test Fellkraft Turkey Tail.

We're now offering a 90-day trial period.

If your dog shows no improvement after 90 days—in the lipomas, energy levels, or mobility—you'll receive a full refund. No questions asked.

You have nothing to lose.Except the satisfaction of knowing you simply watched.

If you still have doubts...

If your vet has never mentioned it

Medicinal mushrooms and fur-enhancing products are relatively new disciplines in veterinary medicine in Europe. The study(NIH/PMC3339362)from the University of Pennsylvania is publicly available on PubMed. You can show it to your veterinarian.
