Turmeric is a yellow-orange spice that you may already have in your cupboard. More than 6,000 studies have looked at turmeric and its benefits.
It has even proven to be better than many expensive drugs including …

Steroids
Anti-inflammatory drugs
Chemotherapy

It can also be used as an alternative to pharmaceutical antibiotics.
The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which is antimicrobial and antibacterial. It’s also anti-inflammatory and antiseptic.
A 2015 study looked at the antibacterial properties of curcurmin. Curcumin killed all the tested bacterias.
Turmeric is a safe alternative for topical use … or you can feed it to your dog.

For topical use, mix turmeric with organic aloe vera and apply to your dog’s wounds or scratches.
For internal use, buy a water soluble supplement or make a golden paste.

If you want to add turmeric to your dog’s diet you can also use turmeric golden paste. Fat also helps with turmeric absorption so it’s a good thing to add (along with black pepper).
Mix ½ cup turmeric powder with 1 cup of water in a pan. Stir it on medium/low heat for 7 to 10 minutes until it forms a thick paste. Add more water or turmeric if needed.
When a thick paste forms add 1 ½ tsp ground pepper and ¼ cup MCT oil or ghee. Stir well. Remove from heat and let cool. Place in a jar and store in your fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Give your dog ⅛ to ¼ tsp of golden paste for every 10 lbs of body weight daily. Start slow and work your way up to this amount.
Turmeric leaves the body quickly … so you may also want to feed the golden paste in smaller amounts throughout the day.
