Turmeric has been used, over thousands of years as a natural medicine; it was particularly used for gastric upsets and, if inhaled as a vapour, for general health and wellbeing.
Why include Turmeric in your Westie’s diet?
Due to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric can help support:
1. General Wellbeing
2. Joint Health
3. Aids Digestion and Gut Health

Turmeric is made up of over 200 compounds. It is these compounds that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Turmeric bioactives (compounds) have three categories:
- Turmerones (Essential Oils) – Turmerones support antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory systems.
- Polyphenols (Curcumins) – are powerful antioxidants.
- Oligosaccharides – act as a prebiotic, beneficial for gut health.
