One of the most significant issues with both turmeric and curcumin is their poor bioavailability potential, meaning there’s no guarantee your pet will benefit from it, even with larger doses.
Fortunately, the ‘next generation’ turmeric, Bark & Whisker™ Organic Curcumin, provides 24 times greater absorption than standard 95% curcuminoid extracts, so your pet requires only a small, cost-effective dose each day.
Uniquely different from other pet curcumin or turmeric supplements, this highly bioavailable formula is:
- Certified USDA Organic and produced with clean ingredients without additives, nanoparticles, contaminants or synthetic ingredients.
- Made with patented turmeric known for its special water-dispersible colloidal suspension of curcuminoids and micronised particles, it enhances their concentration in our formula.
- Sustainably harvested in its native region in southern India, away from big cities and pollution, and it is traceable to the field where it was grown.
The micronised particles and colloidal suspension in our patented formula work synergistically to create curcuminoids with enhanced bioavailability to help your pets receive optimal benefits with every dose.

FAQs
If you’ve never heard of the herb turmeric, you are in for quite a treat.
A unique form of this commonly used herb has potent bioactive compounds that can support your pet's health in many different ways. The secret behind turmeric lies in curcumin, the most important of all the curcuminoids.
However, as wonderful as it may be, the curcumin content of pure turmeric powder is very low – approximately 3% by weight. So turmeric powder by itself is not a reliable source of curcumin for your pet.
Using advanced technology, Bark and Whiskers took curcumin to a whole new level with Organic Curcumin.
When asked the same question, Dr Karen Becker states that even though studies with dogs and cats are limited, based on her experience and that of other holistic veterinarians, curcumin may potentially benefit your pet similarly to how it helps humans.
She further adds that she has used curcumin with both dogs and cats in her veterinary practice for many years. And that it has become one of her "go-to" herbs.
This special type of curcumin may help your pet:
- Support a normal immune response.
- Reduce the effects of everyday environmental stress.
- Limit oxidative damage from free radicals.
- Support normal healthy digestion and gut defence.
- Support a normal inflammatory response.
- Support their comfortable and flexible movement.
- Provide antioxidant support.
- Support normal detoxification processes.
- Maintain normal DNA.
Plus, there’s one other essential feature of this herb. Most substances, including many vitamins, cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, the protective lining of endothelial cells that guard your pet's brain. Curcumin is one of those rare compounds that can cross the blood-brain barrier and open up all kinds of possibilities for your pet's brain health.
Most curcumin studies involve the use of the active ingredient itself and not turmeric. So giving your pet turmeric, even the organic variety, isn’t likely to make much of a difference.
And, if it’s not organic, it may contain pesticides and herbicides – something you don’t want to give your pet.
So you may be thinking… natural curcumin is what counts, right?
Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. There are issues with curcumin that few people realise.
To understand why regular curcumin may not provide the benefits you desire for your pet, there are a few crucial things you need to know about this compound.
Curcumin has some severe shortcomings, as it:
- Tends to be unstable at intestinal pH levels.
- Is poorly absorbed.
- Is rapidly eliminated from your pet's body.
In other words, curcumin is not easily absorbed into your pet’s blood. And because of that, much passes through the body unabsorbed and gets eliminated. Further, the liver may quickly metabolise even the tiny amount that does get absorbed.
Some vets advise making an emulsion by mixing curcumin with fats or lecithin to make it more absorbable to compensate for these shortcomings.
Which does help with absorption somewhat, but the extra step takes time and can be messy.
So what’s best for your pet?
Because curcumin holds such potential for your pet, Bark & Whiskers have addressed those annoying absorption issues with their Organic Curcumin.

So what should you look for when buying this vital herb for your pet?
This 4-Point Quality Test contains important aspects to look for when buying a high-quality curcumin formula. Use this as a checklist before you purchase a curcumin product for your pet.
Your pet’s curcumin formula should:
- Utilise advanced technology to increase bioavailability.
Curcumin can be highly challenging for your pet’s body to absorb, so a formula offering increased bioavailability is a must.
- Provide all three of the curcuminoids found in turmeric.
Curcumin is the main curcuminoid in turmeric, but it's not the only one. The other two are also valuable for your pet's health: demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Having all three curcuminoids is critical, as new research shows that bisdemethoxycurcumin is only activated when the other two curcumin levels (demethoxycurcumin and curcumin) are high.
- Be sourced from raw organic turmeric material standardised to curcuminoids.
Don’t be shortchanged by lesser-quality curcumin. Always look for a standardised curcumin content and curcumin sourced from Certified Organic turmeric.
- Avoid unnecessary fillers, additives and risky excipients.
Your pet doesn't need questionable, unnecessary ingredients.
To answer your questions, yes, Bark & Whiskers™ Organic Curcumin meets the 4-Point Quality Test standards.
And, here's how...
- Bark & Whiskers uses advanced technology to increase bioavailability with a patented formula with micronised particles and proprietary colloidal suspension that provides 24 times greater absorption potential.
- Bark & Whiskers uses three curcuminoids found in turmeric. This formula provides curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin.
- Bark & Whiskers formula is sourced from raw Certified Organic turmeric and is standardised to a minimum curcuminoid content.
- Bark & Whiskers does not use questionable ingredients like magnesium stearate and Polysorbate 80 that your pet doesn't need.
Until now, there just hasn’t been a curcumin formula that meets all these demanding requirements. And we believe there’s no better option for your pet.
Over the years, formulators have attempted to improve the absorption and utilisation of curcumin and turmeric.
Some of their strategies used ingredients that weren’t approved for human consumption and were even less suitable for your cats or dogs. Certain ingredients can actually impair biological processes in pets – like piperine, an extract of black pepper.
Researchers have found that decreasing particle size holds the most significant promise for absorption and bioavailability.
The patented Bark & Whiskers™ Organic Curcumin formula uses micronised particles, not nanoparticles – along with a proprietary colloidal suspension. These two processes synergistically create curcuminoids with enhanced bioavailability to provide your pet with optimal benefits.
This unique formula provides 24 times greater absorption than standard 95% curcumin extracts in a cost-effective, low-dose form, without the addition of black pepper or piperine for increased absorption.
Each one-scoop dose of Bark & Whiskers™ Organic Curcumin supplies 30 mg of Organic Turmeric Rhizome Extract Complex, standardised to provide 9 mg of curcuminoids.
Six things make this highly bioavailable formula stand apart from other pet turmeric and curcumin supplements:
- The product is Certified USDA Organic and produced with clean ingredients without additives, nanoparticles, contaminants or synthetic ingredients.
- It is made with patented turmeric known for its special water-dispersible colloidal suspension of curcuminoids and micronised particles, enhancing its concentration in our formula.
- Because of the extract’s much greater absorption ability, your pet requires only a small, cost-effective dose each day.
- The turmeric in the Organic Turmeric Rhizome Extract Complex ingredient is traceable to the exact field where it was grown.
- This formula includes Turmeric Extract Complex, standardised to 9 mg curcuminoids, Quillaia extract, a natural emulsifying agent made from an endemic Chilean tree, Acacia Gum and Sunflower Oil, a formula designed to be highly dispersible in water to improve the bioavailability of the curcuminoids.
- Studies show this unique Turmeric Extract Complex remains in the blood for as long as or even longer than other sustained-release formulas on the market.
Our pet-friendly formula is made from premium quality turmeric roots sustainably harvested in its native region in southern India, grown in a clean environment, far from big cities and pollution. In partnership with local farmers, the supplier also implements good agricultural practices with full traceability.
