The golden root turmeric has been making its way into German kitchens for several years and is also very popular as a dietary supplement. No wonder - because the traditional Ayurvedic tuber has numerous health benefits and can look back on over 10,000 scientific studies.
Dogs and humans - healthy with turmeric
Whether for osteoarthritis, digestive problems, bile flow or simply to strengthen the immune system, turmeric is a popular natural remedy that has been anchored in Asian culture for thousands of years.
This has now also been recognized in this country, with the result that the health benefits of turmeric are increasingly coming to the fore in scientific research. It is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant and immune-boosting, according to numerous studies - on humans and animals.
We don't want to withhold the health benefits of this wonderful tuber from our four-legged friends and have come up with a dog-friendly recipe that is not only healthy, but also very tasty for our four-legged friends. Try it out and let us know in the comments!
Golden turmeric paste recipe
Ingredients:- 1/4l vegetable stock
- 60g fresh grated or ground turmeric
- 70ml AniForte® coconut oil (or AniForte® linseed oil)
- 1 measuring spoon of AniForte ® propolis powder
- 1 g freshly ground black pepper
- Stir the turmeric into the vegetable stock and bring to the boil briefly. Continue to cook on a low heat until a thick paste forms.
- Remove the turmeric paste from the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Mix everything together well and leave the paste to cool.
- If the consistency is too thick, add a little more vegetable stock.
Feeding golden turmeric paste correctly
We recommend getting your dog used to the paste slowly. It is best to start with a pinch of Golden Paste once a day as a feed. Feed your four-legged friend this amount over 3-4 days. If your dog does not show any side effects such as diarrhea or vomiting, you can slowly increase the dosage and feed it several times a day.
Tip: It is best to feed the Golden Paste with food. This is because turmeric is fat-soluble and is better absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract in combination with fatty foods.
Feeding recommendation:- Small dogs up to 10 kg - 1/4 teaspoon twice a day
- Medium-sized dogs up to 25 kg - ½ teaspoon 2-3 times a day
- Large dogs over 25 kg - 1 teaspoon twice a day
