the organ meats such as beef kidney and hearts contain larger amounts. This is one of the reasons we recommend feeding a variety of meats and adding organ meats to a raw food diet.
Most if not all commercial pet foods have added taurine after cooking but storage for long periods can reduce this and errors can occur. So for cats and dogs particularly those prone to heart disease it may be advisable to add taurine to the diet. It is not harmful to supplement and may be beneficial to both raw, home cooked and commercially fed pets.
TAURINE POWDER SUPPLEMENT FEEDING SUGGESTION:
25mg/kg bodyweight daily mixed into moist food.
(1/4 teaspoon = 1000mg taurine)
Cats/Small dogs: Very small pinch, approx 250mg
Med Dogs: 1/8 teaspoon, approx 500mg
Large Dogs: 1/3 teaspoon, approx 750mg
once a day or less often if the diet contain taurine
