It has already been demonstrated that golden paste is efficient. Dr. Doug English, an Australian veterinarian, invented this miracle paste. Golden paste has been widely used throughout the world since its inception, not only by organic doctors but also by cat and dog owners.

What is a golden paste?

Golden paste is a turmeric-based paste. It is developed by mixing different ingredients such as black pepper, turmeric, and coconut oil with water. Once it is mixed properly, the paste will become yellow-orange. It is spicy, by the way. 

It has been used in Ayurvedic medication for many centuries. It has become popular in the U.S. recently. Americans use it as a replacement for other over-the-counter prescriptions for pets and humans. Humans and pets can take this so-called golden paste or more known as turmeric orally.

On the other hand, some people use turmeric as part of their food ingredients. It is commonly used in dishes served in Thailand and India. 

Turmeric belongs to the ginger family. It is a native of Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Its roots are commonly used for medicinal purposes for many years. Although turmeric has already developed a name in the medicinal world, its advantages for animals such as dogs and cats have lately been found and acknowledged.

How can the golden paste help our furry friends? 

Just like what I have said, golden paste has many health benefits which are good for both humans and animals. For centuries, it has been proven that turmeric can bring good health to its users. 

For dogs, turmeric can get rid of heir allergies, clean teeth, treat arthritis, and reduce inflammation. Add to that, it can also assist your dog by reducing the pain they experience. It can also prevent tumor development and reduce Alzheimer’s impacts.

These are the golden rules for golden paste for dogs

Natural remedies for humans and dogs have their own “golden rules.” Although turmeric has lots of benefits, as a pet owner, you should know how much golden paste you should give to your pooch and how often. 

1. Golden rule number one: Take some precautionary measure.

Golden paste is a natural thinner of blood, so you should be careful when you give your dogs golden paste; some precautions should be in place. If your dog takes any medication, first consult your veterinarian before adding turmeric to the diet of your pooch.

2. Golden rule number two: How much golden paste can you give to your pooch?

If your vet tells you that you can add turmeric to your dog’s diet, then you must keep in mind that you should give them bit by bit until they get used to it. 

Turmeric paste can last for a month, depending on how you use it. When you introduce turmeric to your dog, give them a small dose at first. Add about ¼ teaspoon to your dog’s meal. This dose can be used for small pooches and pups. 

On the other hand, if you own a big dog, after giving them a small dose and once they get used to the taste, you can add more to their meal each week. 

3. Golden rule number three: Find the right recipe for your dog’s golden paste.

Since golden paste has been existing for centuries, it is not surprising at all that many turmeric recipes have emerged. There is this common and traditional golden paste recipe, and there is this modern way of making turmeric.

All dogs have distinct tastes that could be an issue because the traditional turmeric might not be their style. If you have a picky pooch, then experimentation is the only way to know which turmeric recipe matches your dog’s taste. Make different types of turmeric, enough for two to three tests, then observe which recipe of golden paste they like the most.

So, make sure you follow the recommendations of your vet.

Before doing anything or altering anything, always seek professional help. Triple check the information you read online with your vet to make sure that whatever adjustments you make are appropriate for the health and lifestyle of your dog.
