Each tablet combines curcumin, glucosamine and hyaluronic acid, and it is given once a day mixed with food. It is a veterinary health product, and the dose is set by your pet's body weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is in each tablet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne chewable 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. Purica states that 30% of its curcumin is bisdemethoxycurcumin, or BDMC, one of the three curcuminoids in turmeric root. Glucosamine is an amino sugar the body uses to build cartilage, and hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the fluid inside joints. The excipients are natural beef liver flavour, microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate and magnesium stearate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDose by weight\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe label gives two doses. Pets under 20 lb get half a tablet once a day, and pets over 20 lb get one whole tablet once a day. Mix the tablet, or the half, into a meal. At the full dose a bottle lasts 60 days for a larger dog; at the half dose it lasts 120 days for a cat or small dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen to skip it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurica lists several cautions on the label. Do not give it to pregnant or lactating animals or to animals with gastrointestinal ulceration. Unless a veterinarian directs otherwise, keep it away from animals with a liver condition and from animals on other medication. Stop giving it and call your veterinarian if your pet shows yellowing of the eyes, gums or skin, dark urine, vomiting or loss of appetite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy a chewable\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA flavoured chew is often the easiest form for pets that refuse capsules or powders, and many dogs take it straight from the hand. Cats and fussy dogs often accept it more readily when the tablet is crumbled into wet food. The bottle is amber glass with a metal lid, which keeps moisture and light out between doses. Store it at 15 to 25°C in a dry place, out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOther Purica pet products\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurica also makes Pet Recovery, a glucosamine and MSM formula sold as chews and powder, and Immune Pet, a mushroom powder. Ask your veterinarian before giving Pet Recovery and Pet Curcumin+ on the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePurica Pet Curcumin+ FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it for dogs or cats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth.
