Hello again - turmeric is very safe and side effects are extremely rare, usually only seen with ingestion of very high doses. Some dogs can experience stomach upset/vomiting, nausea, or diarrhea with high doses, so you can monitor Oscar for any of these signs. But, he will likely tolerate it just fine! I hope this is helpful!
