Taurine is an amino acid supplement for supporting heart muscle function, eye health, digestion (via bile salt production), reproduction, and immune system health.
Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats and plays a critical role in ocular and cardiovascular health.
Although not considered an essential amino acid for dogs, Taurine supports cardiovascular, and eye health in canines and is useful in the treatment of dogs with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM).
More info on DCM:
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs is a serious, often genetic, disease where the heart muscle becomes thin, weak, and enlarged, severely limiting its ability to pump blood. It commonly affects large breeds—such as Dobermans, Great Danes, and Boxers—leading to congestive heart failure. Notable symptoms include lethargy, coughing, rapid breathing, and fainting.
Preventing nutritional Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs involves feeding a fresh, whole-food, meat-based diet, avoiding grain-free foods high in pulses (peas, lentils), and ensuring adequate taurine intake. Key strategies include avoiding ultra-processed kibble, limiting legume-heavy ingredients, and adding heart-supportive, whole-food ingredients like fresh meat.
Instructions: Dissolve in cold water and add to food. Follow dosage guidelines on bottle.
