So golden paste (turmeric, coconut oil and black pepper) is not good for dogs? Or just that some dogs have the hypersensitivity and i is more of not knowing which ones would it? I used golden paste (with black pepper) to successfully treat a painful, inflamed lump on an old dog's foot...it ended up becoming necrotic, then drying up and falling off. But when I tried to give golden paste to his sister, it was diarrhea all the way. I figured to was the turmeric but maybe it was the black pepper.
PS: I have used Co Curcumin by Ayush Herbs with all of my dogs and never had a problem. I take it myself as well. I just looked up the ingredients and it does contain black pepper though.
I'm not aware of any dogs having more of problem than as you described (individual sensitivity with vomiting or diarrhea).
Ayush is a great and reliable brand and if it works for you, great!.
As with any supplement, try to only use it intermittently for gentle support.
Antioxidants and most nutrients are most effective when you cycle through them, e.g. turmeric for now, vitamins C, D, E, SOD, and all of the super-foods mentioned the other night by Dr. Dodds (and which you can find in her slides) etc.
I checked with Dr. Dodds and it does seem to be a sensitivity. She said she has only seen bad reactions to pepper when it was mixed with the turmeric, not when fed in leftovers.
Cassandra is right - each animal is different. Might be good to try the mixture without black pepper, then if no problems but no improvement, add the black pepper.
I tried many different combinations of turmeric and only one (Prana by Temple Turmeric) ever helped me at all.
