If you haven\u2019t, then here are all the amazing benefits of this colorful spice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It\u2019s a powerful antioxidant<\/li><li>It\u2019s a natural and effective anti-inflammatory<\/li><li>It can help prevent and even treat cancer<\/li><li>It protects the liver from toxins<\/li><li>And much more!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more great benefits and the scientific research behind turmeric and curcumin,&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com\/turmeric-dogs\/\">click here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Golden Paste Recipe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1\/2 cup organic turmeric powder<\/li><li>1 to 1 1\/2 cups filtered or spring water<\/li><li>1 1\/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper<\/li><li>1\/4 cup organic MCT oil or ghee*<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Directions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Mix the turmeric with 1 cup of the water in a pan. Save the remaining water in case you need it to thin your paste a bit.<\/li><li>Stir the liquid on low\/medium heat for about 7 to 10 minutes. It should form a thick paste in this time.<\/li><li>If the paste gets too thick, add a little more water.<\/li><li>If the paste looks watery, add a little more turmeric and heat it for another couple of minutes.<\/li><li>Once your paste has thickened, add the pepper and oil and stir thoroughly.<\/li><li>Allow the mixture to cool.<\/li><li>Place it in a jar with a lid and store in the fridge.<\/li><li>It\u2019ll keep for up to 2 weeks.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, you\u2019ll need a new batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*Most Golden Paste recipes use coconut oil. But coconut oil&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com\/the-health-benefits-of-coconut-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">isn\u2019t the best choice&nbsp;<\/a>for your dog\u2019s gut health. So, for an even healthier Golden Paste, I recommend using organic MCT oil or organic ghee (clarified butter) instead. If you use MCT oil, make sure it doesn\u2019t have lauric acid.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giving Turmeric&nbsp;Golden Paste To Your Dog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add the Golden Paste directly to your dog\u2019s meals by mixing it with some water, bone broth or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com\/goat-milk-for-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kefir<\/a>. Most dogs don\u2019t mind the taste at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: If you use kefir, it\u2019s best to use organic, unsweetened&nbsp;<strong>goat<\/strong>&nbsp;kefir. Some dogs don\u2019t tolerate dairy well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Small dogs should start with about 1\/4 teaspoon per day<\/li><li>Medium dogs can start with 1\/2 teaspoon per day<\/li><li>Large dogs can start with 3\/4 teaspoon per day<\/li><li>Giant dogs can start with 1 teaspoon per day<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The suggested dosage to work up to is approximately 15 to 20 mg per pound of body weight. An easier way to think about this is 1\/8 to 1\/4 teaspoon per day, for every 10lbs of weight (1\/2 \u2013 1 tsp for a 40lbs dog). You can do this over a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>TIP: Turmeric leaves the body quickly, so it\u2019s best to feed smaller amounts a few times a day.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I was looking into ways to give turmeric to dogs for its potent antioxidant support to help&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4741,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":1,"label":"Uncategorized"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/golden-paste.jpg",720,375,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"Misty Giordano","author_link":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/author\/mistyadmin\/"},"comment_info":6,"category_info":[{"term_id":1,"name":"Uncategorized","slug":"uncategorized","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":9,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1,"category_count":9,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Uncategorized","category_nicename":"uncategorized","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4742"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4742"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4742\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7168,"href":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4742\/revisions\/7168"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loveyourlifewithmisty.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
