Healers Turmeric Golden Paste Mix Dog Supplement, 3.5-oz jar

I haven’t been using this long honestly but my vet said it definitelu cannot hurt. So I wanted to leave a review in case it helps anyone whose dog doesn’t like/wont eat it because of the taste- my dog had the same initial reaction and I almost gave up but recently found a solution. In short: Mix with pumpkin! It really cuts the turmeric smell and taste. Long version: Found a lump on my dog’s shoulder, took her in, within 24 hrs everything changed it was diagnosed as a mast cell tumor. I was losing it and desperate for anything I could give her to help and came across this product. She did not like the taste but thankfully the vet was great and her excision surgery was days after. The anesthesia gave her a really upset tummy for days so I skipped the turmeric and started giving her pumpkin digestive supplement. Pathology came back good thank goodness and now that she’s back on her normal routine I decided to try reintroducing turmeric. She did give me the side eye at first but when mixed with pumpkin she eats it all up. She also had some teeth pulled so what we’ve been doing is her kibble mixed with warm water or bone broth to soften it- first I put in the warm liquid, then the dose of turmeric powder, then the pumpkin supplement (Diggin brand “Firm up! pumpkin” supplement), stir well, then add the kibble. Let the food sit until the liquid is mostly absorbed and bon apetit :)

The ingredients and quality are great but there's no way I'd ever be able to get the recommended dosage into my 90+ lb. lab. I bought this with the intention of making a broth to add to his food which I admittedly did not try out of laziness. I just scooped a little into his food dish and added a little boiling water before adding his food. The most I give him at a time is 1/8 tsp. Any more I believe is too strong for him to want to eat. Then I looked at what his recommended dosage and it would be more than 2 full teaspoons a day. Even with divided dosage I doubt I could get my dog to eat a full tsp of this in his food. Other than that it was a good product to keep around when I felt he was dealing with inflammation, allergies or immune issues. I'd like to give this another go this time making a broth with it using bone broth instead of water to make it palatable. I don't like that there is no Autoship discount for this. I use Chewy Autoship to save money and I'm seeing more and more items I use not eligible for any discount. Defeats the purpose of using them.

Their allergies are at bay and hopefully we are keeping cancer at bay.
