No need to worry about this. Tumeric is a rather safe spice that is tolerated well in high quantities. It's possible that this will cause an upset stomach leading to vomiting or diarrhea, but I wouldn't expect any other complications beyond that.
As a side note: tumeric is not very effective for arthritis, but probably won't hurt to give as a supplement. Below is a link to some helpful information about the use of tumeric in dogs.

I hope that helps and all is well with Spud.
