My golden paste recipe is simple to make, and offers many health
benefits without the dangerous side effects of conventional drugs, such as Prednisone, and Metacam (meloxicam). Golden paste is an
effective anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, antiseptic, and
anti-carcinogenic – it is also rich in antioxidants. For more information about
golden paste’s health benefits, you can read about the main ingredient –
turmeric, here.
Golden Paste Recipe for Dogs and Cats
You Will Need the Following Organic Ingredients
- Turmeric powder – organic
- You can choose to
substitute fresh turmeric root for powder.
- Use 1” of fresh finely
chopped (pureed) turmeric root for every 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder.
- Black pepper – organic,
fresh ground.
- Filtered tap or spring
water.
- Saucepan – i.e. glass or
stainless steel, NOT aluminum, NOT Teflon coated.
- Coconut oil – organic, cold pressed,
unrefined.
- Can be incorporated into
the recipe or given at correct daily dosage, along with the Golden Paste
at meal time or treat time (see further below).
- Optional ingredients
- Dog-1safe, cat-1safe
herbs and spices can be added to suit your
dogs and cats 1specific situation.
Preparation
Add the
following ingredients to your saucepan –
- ¼ cup turmeric powder (or
fresh root as per above).
- 1 teaspoon fresh-ground
black pepper.
- Optional ingredients –
- 1 tbs other 1safe,
appropriate herb or spice.
- Mix these ingredients
thoroughly but gently – powders become airborne if not gently stirred! And
please note turmeric contains a strong natural dye (curcumin) that can
stain clothes, carpet, counter tops etc.
Add –
- 1 ¼ cup filtered or spring
water.
- Note – if you want to
incorporate coconut oil directly into the golden paste, reduce the amount
of water by ¼ cup, and add ¼ cup coconut oil.
- Personally I prefer to make
the recipe with water, and add the coconut oil in the correct dosage per
each dog or cat at his/her meals.
- By doing so I can ensure
the daily intake of coconut oil matches the individual animal’s weight
requirements.
- Daily dosage for coconut
oil, cautions, and instructions on introducing coconut oil to your dogs and cats diet
is provided here.
- For dogs and cats that
cannot have coconut oil (due to a contradiction or ‘dislike’) another
appropriate-to-your-animal, high quality fat can be used.
- Mix the powdered
herbs/spices and liquid gently, making sure to completely blend the
herbs/spices with the water to yield a smooth thick paste.
- You can add a little more
water if you need to do so.
Simmer -
- Place the sauce pan on the
stove top, on low heat setting for 7 minutes, stir occasionally.
- Remove from heat after 7
minutes.
- Don’t worry if you have left
the golden paste on for slightly longer.
- Allow the Golden Paste to
cool.
Store
Your Golden Paste -
- Transfer the cooled Golden
Paste to a glass container/jar.
- Store in the refrigerator
for up to two weeks.
- You can double, triple, or
quadruple the recipe as required to suit your situation.
How to Use The Golden Paste
When introducing any new item to your dog or cats diet do so gradually.
Start at a very low dose and increase slowly.
Golden paste can be used short-term or long-term to suit your animals’
situation.
Daily Dosage – General Guidelines
- Minimum dose – 1/16 tsp per
10 lbs of body weight, 1x per day.
- Standard dose – 1/8 tsp, per
10 lbs of body weight, 1x to 2x per day.
- Maximum dose – varies per
animal and condition being treated.
How to Add to Your Dog’s, Cat’s Diet
Starting
Out
You can
first introduce Golden Paste by incorporating a small amount into a treat – for
example:
Daily Use
- Turmeric paste can be given
with food at meal time.
- Or given with treats as
noted above.
- Can be ‘pilled’ using a 1safe-for-your
animal pilling substance. Use a natural food item that suits your animal –
i.e. pure raw unpasteurized honey, an appropriate yogurt, cheese,
coconut oil, ghee, or fresh food such as meat, fruit or veg.
- Do NOT use a highly processed
food pilling product.
If you
are using for preventative maintenance of a healthy animal - use a low daily
dosage.
If you
are treating an active, or chronic ailment, the dosage can be adjusted up from
the standard daily dosage to the individual animal’s tolerance level.
Cautions, Contradictions, Drug Interactions
Golden
Paste is not for every dog and cat!
For a
list of (but not limited to) cautions, contradictions and drug interactions,
see –
1‘Safe’ is used as a relative term, meaning safe for
most dogs and cats. As with all ingested substances (foods, herbs, etc.) before
you introduce a new item to your animal’s diet, make sure you thoroughly
research relevant drug, food, health condition interactions, contradictions,
cautions and side effects.
