Natural Joint SupportTurmeric’s anti-inflammatory compound, curcumin, helps ease stiffness, pain, and mobility issues—especially in aging or active pets. Antioxidant ProtectionCombat oxidative stress and support long-term cellular health with turmeric’s potent natural antioxidants. Digestive + Liver SupportTurmeric stimulates bile production and supports detox, helping pets with sensitive stomachs or those on processed diets or medications. Allergy + Skin ReliefBy calming inflammation, turmeric can help reduce itching, redness, and hot spots, leading to healthier skin and shinier coats. |
Whilst I don’t believe turmeric is a cure all, I do think there’s enough evidence for me to be comfortable to try it for myself and my dog (as an addition to our regular balanced diets) as well as recommend it to some clients. It may be a complementary support for some conditions. - Dr. Claire Jenkins.
