How to Use Turmeric with Your Dog

Does your dog suffer from inflammation with associated pain? Our dog Maggie sure has and turmeric’s a tool we used to help her! She had an injury just over a year ago which caused a cruciate ligament rupture. The vet recommended Turmeric to aid in the healing process by decreasing the inflammation + reducing pain.

What is Turmeric?


The Turmeric plant is a member of the ginger family and is best known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Research has shown this incredible plant to have so many other properties that make it helpful in supporting many different body systems: antioxidant, antiviral, wound healing, joint support, digestive system support...to name a few.
The herb contains curcuminoids that help the body fight free radicals and protect from oxidative damage. The Essential Oil has molecules (Turmerone and ar-Turmerone) that help the body's absorption of curcuminoids. Using the Essential Oil together with the herbal supplement is an incredible way to improve the bioavailability of both! And there’s one company in the world delivering this in one! doTERRA developed a dual-chamber capsule housing both the oil and powder of Turmeric separately. Brilliant, super-powerful + effective.

Why doTERRA? With so many health supplements out there for pets (and for us humans too;), it’s extremely important to know their purity and potency. The results you get are way more effective, and if you are one to care about what’s behind the bottle you get that too. And most importantly you’ll know what’s in the bottle because each and every batch of Turmeric oil is tested AND you have access to those testing results. The reason it works so well with consistent results + the reason why medical professionals chose to work with their oils. This protocol for instance came right from a vet that uses and works with doTERRA’s oils. If you do not yet have doTERRA in your home I welcome you to check their testing for yourself by using my bottle of Turmeric essential oil (pictured below)-at the bottom of the bottle there’s a batch number 182427A printed — enter this quality ID# at sourcetoyou.com and voila the testing results appear!

How to use Turmeric with animals:

Turmeric Essential Oil is usually given internally but can be diffused or applied topically. You can even use the Turmeric Dual capsules with larger animals! Yes- with horses, cattle, sheep, goats too. Message me for these specific animals along with cats as I’ve got those resources too.

  • For dogs over 25 lbs., give 1 Turmeric Dual Capsule 1-2 times daily mixed with food or as a pill.

  • For dogs under 25 lbs., give 1 drop of Turmeric essential oil mixed with food or in a veggie capsule 1-2 times daily.
