The resealable pouch holds 30 tablets, and the product is made in Canada by Purica Pet, the animal line of the Purica brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat each tablet contains\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne tablet contains 200 mg of glucosamine hydrochloride, 150 mg of curcumin from turmeric (\u003cem\u003eCurcuma longa\u003c\/em\u003e) and 50 mg of hyaluronic acid. The tablet base is natural beef liver flavour, microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate and magnesium stearate. Purica uses a curcumin extract in which 30% of the curcuminoids are bisdemethoxycurcumin, or BDMC. Ordinary turmeric extracts carry about 1% BDMC, which is where the Extra Strength name comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow much to give\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dose on the label goes by body weight. Pets under 20 lb get half a tablet once a day, and pets over 20 lb get one whole tablet once a day. Give it with food: crumble it over the meal, or hand it over at dinner time. For a half dose, break the tablet in two. At these rates a 30-tablet pouch lasts one month for a large dog and two months for a cat or a small dog. The tablets are for oral use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe label lists cats and dogs. Most buyers are owners of senior dogs, large breeds and dogs that run, hike or work every day, and owners of older cats. Because the tablet tastes of beef liver, many pets take it like a snack, which makes a daily routine easy to keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not give it to pregnant or nursing animals, or to animals with gastrointestinal ulceration. Unless your veterinarian directs it, do not give it to animals with liver problems or animals on other drugs. Stop and call your veterinarian if your pet shows yellowing of the eyes, gums or skin, dark urine, vomiting or loss of appetite. Keep the pouch out of reach of children, store it between 15 and 25°C in a dry place, and do not use it if the seal is broken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePurica Pet Curcumin+ FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan cats take it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
