A healthy diet is crucial for your dog’s general well-being. It is essential to ensure that he or she consumes the appropriate amount of nutrients at the right times. To do this, we must feed our four-legged companions premium food enriched with all the vitamins and nutrients they require.
No one likes to grow older, especially seeing our dogs get older, especially considering that the aging process brings a lot of medical issues, and with that, so do the expensive bills. In recent years, dog parents have shifted towards natural solutions for their dogs, like turmeric. Turmeric has many benefits to the human and the dog's body. Adding supplements to their diet that contain turmeric is often a great idea. Especially considering that it brings various benefits to your dog's knees and arthritis. But while turmeric has been used in India since 500 BC, only recently the western world has started to use it.
What is Turmeric?
Turmeric is a deep-yellow spice that initially comes from Southeast Asia, it is a brightly colored powder that can be frequently found in Asian cuisine to add color and flavor to dishes, but Turmeric has a long history of use in herbal medicine. More than 5,000 studies have proved that turmeric is safe for dogs and its anti-inflammatory properties may reduce inflammation and treat chronic arthritis in dogs.
In animal products, turmeric is primarily used as an anti-inflammatory supplement, especially for those dogs that suffer from medical and chronic conditions that may affect knees and joints, such as arthritis or their mobility. With this in mind, Dr Woow developed their own Hip & Joint Mobility Soft Chews Supplement that contains organic natural Turmeric.
Is Turmeric Safe for your dog?
Turmeric has a prolonged history of use in humans to reduce inflammation and healing. After many years of research it has been proven that spice has several benefits for the health of your four-legged friend. However, it's important to note that while it's safe to use, it will cause your dog's blood to be thinner when given in excess amounts. If your dog is dehydrated, avoid giving them Turmeric as it may cause constipation and other side effects such as gallbladder contractions and low blood sugar levels.
Benefits of Turmeric for dogs
Here are some of the advantages of adding Turmeric to your dog's diet:
-
Anti-Inflammatory properties: Your dog's body will naturally inflame as a response to toxins, trauma, or infections. This inflammation can occur anywhere in the body, however, if it happens to be in your dog's joint, it will lead to stiffness and pain. The inflammations can lead to allergies, cancer, arthritis, and heart diseases. Turmeric can help with this as it's a natural anti-inflammatory.
-
Antioxidant properties: like the betta berries in our allergy and immunity soft chew supplement, Turmeric provides antioxidant level allowing aging and cell degeneration to occur slower since it helps fight free radicals.
