Turmeric is a category I'll be straight about — the evidence for turmeric's anti-inflammatory effect in dogs is substantially thinner than the marketing suggests, and bioavailability is a real problem. Curcumin (turmeric's active compound) is poorly absorbed by dogs unless it's in a specially formulated lipid carrier, which most pet shop turmeric products aren't. How long was he on it, and what were the main ingredients on the label?
About three months. Main ingredients listed were turmeric root extract, black pepper extract, and coconut oil. No glucosamine, nothing like that.

That's a turmeric supplement with black pepper added for theoretical bioavailability improvement — a formulation that has essentially no clinical evidence for canine joint disease. The three months produced nothing because the product wasn't designed to do what you needed. Switch to Antinol Rapid. The PCSO-524 compound has actual clinical evidence in dogs, a known and measurable bioavailability, and a mechanism that addresses joint inflammation at the level you need. Two capsules daily for the first month. You'll see a different result.
