Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats because they cannot synthesize it from other amino acids. It must therefore be supplied regularly through the diet. Taurine is often overlooked in homemade diets, which can have serious consequences for feline health. A deficiency may lead to retinal degeneration and cardiac problems. Because taurine is such a critical component of a cat’s diet, supplementation is generally recommended when feeding homemade food.
Please note:
No additional taurine supplementation is necessary - or recommended - when feeding cat food prepared with TCPremix. Cat food made according to our instructions provides a minimum of 200 mg of taurine per daily serving (from the premix alone), ensuring your cat’s nutritional needs are met.
