Your dog deserves fall too. This pumpkin spice latte skips the coffee and the actual pumpkin spice—nutmeg isn't for dogs—and leans on goat's milk kefir and plain pumpkin instead. Probiotics from the kefir, a whipped coconut cream top, and a crumbled Lolahemp mushroom chew where the cinnamon dust would go. Here's how to make one.

Ingredients
- ½ cup goat's milk kefir, plain and unsweetened
- ¼ cup plain pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling—that's where the spices and sugar hide)
- 2 tbsp coconut cream, chilled overnight
- 1–2 Lolahemp Immunity Mushroom Chews (for the topping)
How to Make It
- Chill the coconut cream overnight so it whips properly.
- Mix the kefir and pumpkin purée until smooth.
- Pour into a small cup or your dog's bowl.
- Whip the cold coconut cream and spoon it over the top.
- Crumble the mushroom chews over the cream.
- Serve.
Portions: half the recipe for small dogs, the full recipe for large dogs. Stick to the daily chew guidelines when you're crumbling—½ chew for dogs under 25 lbs, 1 chew for 25–75 lbs, 2 chews for 75+ lbs.
Why Kefir and Mushrooms Belong Together
Kefir brings live probiotics. Functional mushrooms bring prebiotic fiber—the food those good bacteria actually live on. One introduces, the other feeds. That's the thinking behind pairing them in the same cup instead of giving them on separate days.
What's in the Chew
Functional mushrooms are one of the more interesting corners of holistic dog health right now. Lolahemp Immunity Mushroom Chews use five of them in a 250mg blend:
- Turkey Tail—supports normal gut function and the immune system
- Reishi—supports the immune system and a normal stress response
- Lion's Mane—supports cognitive function and brain health
- Shiitake—supports normal immune function and antioxidant activity
- Maitake—supports normal immune function and a healthy inflammatory response
Two more active ingredients round out the chew:
- Colostrum—supports normal immune function and day-to-day resilience
- Astragalus—an adaptogenic herb that supports normal immune function and energy balance
This is what you get: a seasonal treat your dog will actually finish, with a little daily support for gut, immune, and cognitive health crumbled on top. Coconut cream is rich, so go easy if your dog is on a lower-fat diet. Always introduce new treats gradually and check with your vet if your dog has dietary restrictions.
