Yes, turmeric is safe for dogs. It is often used in several new dog supplements and seems to be helpful in managing arthritis. "Turmeric can also interact with some medications, including anti-inflammatory and diabetes drugs, and it may interfere with some chemotherapy treatments … so if your dog’s on any medications, check with your holistic vet before adding turmeric to his diet." http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/turmeric-dogs/
