Turmeric Golden Paste for Dogs

  • 1/2 cup turmeric powder (125 mls)
  • 2 cups water (500 mls)
  • 1/2 cup water extra, if needed (125 mls)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (7.5 mls)
  • 70 ml cold pressed Olive or Coconut oil
Place turmeric and water in a pot or pan, stirring over low heat until you have a thick paste. This should take about 7 – 10 minutes and you may need to add additional water along the way (it seems to depend on the turmeric you have).
Add the pepper and oil at the end of cooking. Stir vigorously to incorporate the oil and allow to cool. Store in sterilized glass jar or container and refrigerate.
Should keep for up to four weeks, refrigerated – best used within two. I froze some which will last longer.

    Dosage of Turmeric Paste for Dogs

    I've read different dosages on several sites.  Many people advise to start with small amounts and build up because it can cause loose stool if you feed too much to your dog.  Turmeric paste leaves a dog's system quickly, so it should be fed with each meal (more than once a day).  I started my dogs off with 1/4 teaspoon in each meal and worked up from there to gauge their tolerance.
    • Start your dog with 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon in each meal
    • Every 5-7 days, increase the dosage a small amount
    • Once you notice pain relief, increased mobility, or a decrease in tumor size
  • (yeah, I read this could happen and I'm blown away) – you've found your maintenance dosage
  • For our healthy dogs, I stick with the lower dosage of 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon per meal
