What Golden Paste is – and why it is an easy way to enrich your dog's daily food?
Golden Paste is a natural, plant-based powder from the Mr.Bones brand that you can sprinkle on kibble, wet food, homemade food, or BARF meals without mess. It adds an antioxidant boost to the food and entices eating with its mild, warm spicy aroma. The glass jar and included wooden spoon make dosing convenient at home and on the go.
What ingredients are in Golden Paste – is it suitable for sensitive dogs too?
The composition is 100% natural: turmeric, coconut, ground black pepper, Ceylon cinnamon, and ginger. If your dog has previous sensitivities to spices, start gently and monitor stomach and skin reactions.
How do I dose – how much for small, medium, and large dogs?
Sprinkle into the food as follows: for 1–10 kg dogs 1–2 g (1–2 spoonfuls), for 10–20 kg dogs 3 g (3 spoonfuls), and for 20–30 kg dogs 4–5 g (4–5 spoonfuls). 1 spoonful corresponds to about 1 gram. Always start with half the dose and gradually increase to the recommended amount.
How do I get a picky dog to eat this – are there any mixing tricks?
Mix the powder gradually into the food and optionally add a small drizzle of coconut or fish oil (e.g., salmon, tuna, sardine) – this makes the flavor more appealing and mixing easier. The powder adheres well to both kibble and wet food, so the bowl stays clean.
Is Golden Paste suitable for puppies and seniors?
Yes, it is suitable for all age groups. However, always start with half the dose and increase slowly according to your dog's stomach tolerance. If your dog has illness, medication, pregnancy, or lactation, consult a veterinarian before starting use.
What does Golden Paste “taste” like to a dog?
The aroma is soft and warm – ginger and cinnamon provide a mild flavor that attracts many dogs to the bowl. The spicy scent also nicely masks the taste of other supplements if used simultaneously.
How long does a 100 g jar last for dogs of different sizes?
The duration depends on the dose: for small dogs (e.g., toy poodle, Jack Russell terrier, miniature schnauzer) 1–2 g/day lasts about 50–100 days; for 10–20 kg dogs (e.g., cocker spaniel, whippet, lagotto) 3 g/day about 33 days; for 20–30 kg dogs (e.g., Australian shepherd, English springer spaniel, Lapponian herder) 4–5 g/day about 20–25 days. 1 spoonful ≈ 1 g makes dosing easier. Still, remember to check and adjust the amount for your own dog.
For which types of dogs is this especially convenient?
It is an easy everyday “topping” for active breeds (such as border collie, Labrador retriever, poodle), selective eaters, and home cooks who vary kibble, wet food, and homemade meals. The powder form makes dosing precise even for small dogs. Always measure and monitor your own dog, and if you wonder about the right dose, we are happy to help.
Is this a good choice for BARF feeding or homemade food?
Yes – the powder mixes evenly into both raw food and kitchen-prepared meals without clumps. If desired, you can add a small amount of coconut or fish oil to help the spices adhere to the food even better.
Can I use this together with fish oil, joint supplements, or multivitamins?
You can combine it with a regular diet and, for example, fish oil; the instructions recommend a small oil addition to aid mixing. If you are using medication or multiple spicy supplements, keep the total amount moderate and discuss individual suitability with a veterinarian.
What analyzed nutrients are in the product?
Analytical constituents: crude protein 11%, crude fat 29%, crude fiber 18%, moisture 6%, and ash 5% (natural variation between batches). These describe the product's basic nutritional content and help compare supplements with each other.
How is the product stored – and how long is it usable?
Store in a cool, dry place, protected from sunlight, and close the lid carefully after each use. Use by the “best before” date; when stored properly, the product remains good after opening until that date. The glass jar is also convenient for reuse.
Is this plant-based supplement “too spicy” for a dog?
No – it is specifically designed for pets, and the aroma is mild. However, start with a smaller amount than recommended and gradually increase to the suggested dose; this way the dog gets used to the taste and the stomach stays content.
Can Golden Paste also be given to cats – and how much?
Yes. The dosage for cats is: under 3 kg 0.5 g (½ spoonful), 3–5 kg 1 g (1 spoonful), and over 5 kg 1–2 g (1–2 spoonfuls). Start with half the dose as with dogs. Keep dog and cat feedings separate so each pet gets the appropriate amount.
