Taurine is a vital amino acid found only in animal proteins - and it’s essential for your cat’s overall health. Unlike most mammals, cats can’t produce enough taurine on their own, so they must get it through their diet.
Our recipes contain an average of 0.14% taurine, helping your cat stay strong, healthy, and full of life.
Why cats need taurine
Taurine supports several key areas of your cat’s wellbeing:
Vision: helps maintain healthy eyesight.
Cardiovascular health: supports a strong and healthy heart.
Reproductive health: essential for normal reproductive function.
Immune function: strengthens the body’s natural defences.
Digestion support: aids in proper nutrient absorption and digestive balance.
Why taurine must come from diet
Most animals can naturally produce taurine - cats can’t produce enough.
That’s why taurine is an essential dietary nutrient for all cats, especially for:
Growing kittens
Pregnant or nursing queens
Older cats who need extra support
