Why turmeric is good for dogs

Turmeric, that vibrant yellow-orange spice commonly used in cooking for its flavour, has gained added popularity as more is known about its potential benefits for health. Not only for humans, but also a great addition to your dog’s diet to improve well-being.
Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound with powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is a common underlying factor in many diseases, such as arthritis. By reducing inflammation, turmeric can help alleviate pain and improve mobility in dogs suffering from joint-related issues.
