Is turmeric safe for my husky on Vetprofen and other medications?

Question

My husky/malamute is on vetprofen for hip dysplasia and arthritis. It seems to help her, but I can tell that she wants to do more than she is able to. I ordered her an organic turmeric and curcumin supplement to take. I haven't received it yet, but I wondered if that is okay for her to take with the vetprofen. She takes 1/2 of a 50 mg tablet twice a day. She also takes: Trazadone (for anxiety/PTSD) Zoloft (for depression) Proin I hate giving her pills, but I want her to be healthy and happy.

Yes, it’s fine to give. Please follow the directions. I would also give her an Omega3 supplement since that will also reduce the inflammation and her pain from the arthritis. You may also want to consult a Rehabilitation Veterinarian in your area. They can give home care exercises, build muscle strength with hydrotherapy and many also do acupuncture to reduce the pain.
