Easy Turmeric Paste
This simple recipe is probably the most straightforward way to feed your dog turmeric. You can mix it into your dog’s water with some ease, which allows you to give your canine turmeric without them noticing. It can also be added to canned food without disturbing the texture. Many dogs also like it in bone broth.
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Spoon
- Jar
Ingredients
- ½ cup organic turmeric powder
- 1½ cup water
- 1½ tsp organic black pepper
- ¼ cup ghee clarified butter
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon some dogs prefer the taste with cinnamon
- ¼ cup ground ginger optional
Instructions
- Mix the turmeric with the water and heat them in a pan. A thick paste should form after 7 to 10 minutes. Add more water if the paste gets too thick.
- Once the turmeric/water mixture has thickened into a paste, add the pepper, cinnamon, ghee, and ginger (if using).
- Let the mixture cool.
- Place it in a jar and store it in the fridge. It will last for at least 2 weeks.
Notes
You can also add a bit of honey to the mixture if your canine is especially picky. However, the added sugar is not necessarily the healthiest choice, so we don’t recommend it in the first recipe. Try it without the added honey first. If you discover that your dog will only eat it with the added honey, be sure to limit their consumption to ensure they aren’t consuming too much sugar.
Many recipes will tell you to use coconut oil. However, this is not the healthiest option for our canines. Instead, we recommend using ghee, as it contains more omega 3s. Image Credit; karl-solano, Pexels
