What taurine is
What it is
Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats: their body needs it and cannot make enough of it, so it has to come from what they eat.
Why it has to come from the food
Cats cannot synthesise enough taurine. Whatever they get, they get from their diet.
An authorised feed additive (3a370)
Taurine is an authorised feed additive (3a370) and no maximum has been set for cats.
What is in the jar, and how much you give
+Pets Pure Taurine is taurine as a powder, with a scoop. You add it to the food he already eats: 3 g a day for a cat of 2-5 kg, as per the label — ask your vet if your cat is outside that range or on treatment.
What we do not claim
We do not tell you what will change, or when. We have no data of our own and we are not going to invent it. This is a feed additive for cats, not a veterinary medicine, and it does not replace a balanced diet or your vet's advice.
