Benefits of Using Turmeric with Pocket Pets
Not everyone immediately thinks of reptiles or rodents as pets, but these little critters have just as much to offer as cats or dogs. We also know that their health is just as complex and nuanced too. Turmeric can help address a number of worries.
- Joint Support: Can be used for aging pets who aren’t as nimble
- Cancer Support: Turmeric can be given to pets prone to cancer, like mice and rats
- Discomfort Support: For pets in discomfort, turmeric may give them alleviation
- Proactive Care: You can use turmeric on your pocket pet daily even if they aren’t sick to top them up with natural goodness
Turmeric is one of the most well-researched herbs, and holistic vets are using it in their practice as one of their well loved natural pet supplements.
Healing Properties of Turmeric + Antioxidant Superherb
Pet parents should know that bunnies or rodents as pets can be susceptible to cancer. While this can be a worry for them, turmeric is rich in antioxidants, which can help your precious pet when their body is busy fighting a disease like cancer, arthritis, or more.
