Taurine is an essential nutrient for cats and plays an important role in normal heart muscle function, vision, digestion, immune function, and overall feline wellness.
Here is why this single nutrient is one of the most talked-about in feline wellness, and how LickWell makes daily support effortless.
Taurine
Unlike some animals, cats have species-specific nutritional needs and require dietary taurine as part of their everyday nutrition.
Cats require dietary taurine as part of species-specific nutrition.
Heart
Taurine helps support normal heart muscle function, which makes it one of the most recognized nutrients in feline wellness.
Research has linked taurine deficiency with feline dilated cardiomyopathy, a serious heart muscle condition.
After the importance of taurine in feline nutrition became widely recognized, taurine was added to commercial cat food standards. Today, taurine-deficiency DCM is far less common than it was historically.
DCM now accounts for less than 10% of feline heart disease, according to Purina Institute.
Lickable
Even when cat parents want to support daily wellness, pills and powders can make consistency difficult. LickWell turns daily support into a simple lickable vial.
1 daily vial. No pills. No powders.
More is not always better. LickWell should be framed as daily supplemental wellness support, not a mega-dose vitamin or replacement for a complete and balanced diet.
Cornell notes that supplements can be harmful if used incorrectly and should not replace balanced nutrition.
