Turmeric (Curcuma) is becoming very well known among dog owners who wish to help give their dogs a long and healthy life.   But in the East, the benefits of turmeric have been known for a very long time..  and not just for dogs, but for us too !

Anti-Cancer Properties !!!!

There are many reports coming out that say turmeric may help in the fight against cancer. Curcumin can inhibit tumour growth and even shrink existing tumours.
Antioxidant properties are also helpful in reducing the negative side effects of chemotherapy.
This not to say that turmeric is the only thing that you should take to prevent cancer, control or treat cancer, but it is certainly exciting about it’s anti cancer properties.

A Pain reliever  !

Curcuma gives the bright orange colour, and acts as a spice, but it is also a pain reliever.  It is great for pets that suffer from illnesses which cause pain.

It is a great anti immflamatory.

This is good news for our older dogs that may suffer from arthritis and aging in general.

Antiseptic:

The anti-inflammatory properties, combined with the fact that turmeric is a natural antiseptic means it’s also useful for disinfecting and treating skin injuries.   If you mix turmeric with honey you can apply it to wounds because honey has high antibacterial properties.   
But be warned; it could taste very nice to your dog !

Detoxifies the liver !

Turmeric boosts the liver’s ability to metabolize fat and remove waste from the body. Our pets are susceptible to toxins in the environment and in their food, especially commercially produced dried food and treats.

As with any pre-existing condition, if your pet already suffers from liver disease, you should consult your vet before treating with turmeric as some studies indicate that turmeric may aggravate existing problems.
