As you may know, I have a senior dog.  Peanut is 11 years old and with that comes some health issues like arthritis.  I make Turmeric Bombs to put in Peanut’s food each day.  It is a very simple recipe that I make ahead and freeze.  Turmeric has been shown to help with inflammatory diseases like arthritis.  It has also been shown to reduce the size of tumors.  There is a terrific article on PlanetPaws.com here with the recipe.

I give Peanut about 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric paste with each meal.  I don’t give it to the other dogs right now, mostly because they don’t like the taste of it.  I don’t either, which is why I freeze it so I can pop it like a pill.  I also freeze it because I can’t use it up quickly enough.

Have you ever tried turmeric for your senior dogs?  Tell us about it.
