Notes
You will need to use pharmaceutical grade turmeric – not the kind you find in the spice section of the grocery store. A substance in turmeric, Curcumin, has been shown to reduce inflammation. The health benefits are increased when you pair turmeric with black pepper.
Thyme is another great herb for dogs & cats. It is rich in antioxidants and has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. Before you begin feeding your pet this (or any other) homemade food, be sure to check with your veterinarian. They may recommend adding additional supplements or ingredients to make the food nutritionally balanced for your pets.
