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.

Dog scooting on a floor cushion
common questions

Scooting Dogs

Scooting. The common expression for when a dog drags its bottom along the floor. Veterinary science can explain why dogs do it, but not why it has to be done on a white rug, or your bedsheets, or slowly across the length of the living room whenever you have guests.

Scooting means your dog has an itchy bottom. Does your dog also lick at the area, or try to chew under the tail?

common questions

Dog-friendly Plants

Plants that are toxic to dogs are nearly everywhere:  some because they are readily self-seeding (like lantana and agapanthus), some are grown for use by people (aloe vera, cannabis), and some are gorgeous and popular with gardeners (like azaleas and hydrangeas).
