We are delighted to now offer this quality source of turmeric herb (Curcumin) which is extracted from the whole root and contains 95% curcuminoids. Turmeric is extremely well documented and is widely used to support the body's natural anti-inflammatory processes. The turmeric extract in these tablets is traditionally grown in its native region of Southern India using sustainable small farming methods and it is renowned for its purity and full traceability.
The natural bioavailability of turmeric is unfortunately quite low, however can easily be improved using two methods. The first is to give turmeric with a fatty substance, and as all balanced dog food contains fat this is easily solved by ensuring it is given with their meal. Secondly, absorption is easily improved by taking it with a compound found naturally in black pepper called piperine. One study has found that taking piperine along with curcumin can increase bioavailability by an incredible 2000%.
A patented form of piperine called Bioperine is included in this formulation to ensure bioavailability is maximised. Turmeric has grown in popularity and there are a number of ongoing studies into numerous other potential benefits of this exciting herb.

Feeding Guide
Feeding Guide
Adult Raw Feeding Guide
Adult dogs should be fed between 2-3% of their IDEAL bodyweight. If your dog needs to gain or lose weight, then work out the appropriate amount for what they should weigh, and this will assist with weight loss or weight gain as needed. This range given is also dependant on your dog’s activity levels.
Generally, an adult dog is classed as a dog 1 year and above, however larger breed dogs can continue to grow for up to 18 months to 2 years old so you should feed more, according to their growth rate and reduce the amount to 2-3% once they have finished growing.
2-3% of the ideal bodyweight. A range is given rather than a set amount so that depending on factors such as your dog’s activity levels or even just their own eating habits, you can add or reduce the amount within this range according to your dog’s individual needs. I usually advise owners to start with 2.5% and then you can adjust accordingly if needed.
Dogs ideal weight x 0.02 = 2% in grams per day
Dogs ideal weight x 0.03 = 3% in grams per day
Example Calculation:
For a 15kg adult dog of ideal weight the calculation would be:
15 x 0.025 (2.5%) = 0.375 (375g per day)
Puppy/Kitten Raw Feeding Guide
Puppies and kittens need a higher amount of protein as they grow, as protein is the component to developing new tissue within the body and also provides energy which they burn a lot of during the growth process and obviously because they tend to be particularly lively when younger! They should be fed according to their actual weight, so it’s important to weigh them regularly to ensure that they are getting the required amount as they grow.
7-10 weeks – 8-10%: Current weight x 0.08 to 0.1 = grams per day
10-16 weeks – 7-8%: Current weight x 0.07 to 0.08 = grams per day
16-20 weeks – 6-7%: Current weight x 0.06 to 0.07 = grams per day
20-24 weeks – 5-6%: Current weight x 0.05 to 0.06 = grams per day
24-36 weeks – 4-5%: Current weight x 0.04 to 0.05 = grams per day
36-56 weeks – 3-4%: Current weight x 0.03 to 0.04 = grams per day
Can drop to 2-3% after 52 weeks and follow Adult feeding guide if your dog has reached adult weight at this stage.
56-68 weeks – 2.5-3.5%: Current weight x 0.025 to 0.035 = grams per day
68+ weeks – 2-3% Current weight x 0.02 to 0.03 = grams per day
Example Calculation:
For a 12 week old puppy weighing 8kg the calculation range would be:
8 x 0.07 (7%) = 0.56 (560g per day)
8 x 0.08 (8%) = 0.64 (640g per day)
In this example I would suggest feeding midway of this range at 600g per day to allow for adjustment either side depending on their activity levels and eating habits.
