To meet the needs of your cat, you have to externally provide him with taurine, which is found in food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Taurine_is_the_Best_Ally_for_the_Health_of_Your_Cat\"><\/span><strong>Why Taurine is the Best Ally for the Health of Your Cat<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taurine is a very important component that all store-bought cat food should contain it. Taurine is naturally found in natural origin proteins and not in synthesized proteins. Below, we have listed the benefits of this amino acid for your cat\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It stimulates muscle growth<\/li><li>It is an antioxidant<\/li><li>It helps in the production of bile<\/li><li>It regulates salt and water in cells<\/li><li>It helps your cat have a good eyesight<\/li><li>It acts as a neurotransmitter<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Commercial_Food_for_Cats_Contain_Taurine\"><\/span><strong>Does Commercial Food for Cats Contain Taurine?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Commercial cat foods contain good levels of taurine. But it must be as natural and high-end as possible. Fortunately, some really good feeds are made from high-quality dehydrated meat. Bear in mind that low-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/animalsa2z.com\/what-percentage-of-taurine-should-be-in-cat-food\/\">cat food is a really bad choice for your cat in terms of taurine<\/a> content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of feed is made with little natural taurine and lots of grains. The taurine that they often use to compensate for the lacking amino acids is usually from other artificial sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moment you are visiting a pet shop or supermarket, it\u2019s essential that you check the ingredients list on the label of the cat food. If you see taurine in the ingredients list, then it\u2019s artificial since it has been added. You should always remember that taurine must already be present in certain natural cat food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Questions_About_Cat_Foods_that_Contain_Taurine\"><\/span><strong>Common Questions About Cat Foods that Contain Taurine<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1594049074165\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What Foods Are Highest in Taurine?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The highest amounts of this amino acid can be found in shellfish like clams, mussels, and scallops. There\u2019s also a high amount of taurine in the dark meat of turkey bologna and turkey. Other food products that contain a high level of taurine are seafood, eggs, beef, and chicken.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1594049084633\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How Much Taurine Should Cat Food Have?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Experts suggest that at every meal, your cat must consume between 200 to 300 mg. Dietary supplementation of taurine is usually 250mg given twice a day. This supplementation can reverse taurine deficiency and dilated cardiomyopathy as long as your cat\u2019s condition has been identified early enough by your trusted veterinarian. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1594049093308\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How Long Can Cats Go Without Taurine?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">6 weeks without enough supplementation of taurine, and symptoms of taurine deficiency become noticeable. However, total irreversible blindness only occurs after a cat is suffering from a long-term taurine deficiency. The moment this type of amino acid is lacking, chances are the retinas eventually degenerate leading to a cat\u2019s blindness.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_give_taurine_to_a_cat\"><\/span>How do you give taurine to a cat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make sure that your cat gets enough taurine to eat. If you make sure to give your cat food based on animal-protein (meat), then it should usually be easy enough to give taurine to a cat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_all_cat_food_have_taurine\"><\/span>Does all cat food have taurine?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most cat food will have a good amount of taurine. Taurine is found in animal-based proteins, which is the reason you should be sure that most of the cat food is based on real meat, if you are looking for cat food with a lot of taurine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how important Taurine is for your cat, you should consider adding more Taurine content to your cat\u2019s daily diet. Those cat owners who feed raw meat to their feline friends should not worry about Taurine deficiency because of insufficient intake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since taurine is a free type of amino acid, it\u2019s easily lost with cooking the food for over 50%. If you really need to cook the meat, make it rare as possibly by searing the outside part so the juices will be locked in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the home-made diet for your cat is primarily cooked, vets recommend that you add enough Taurine supplements. The feline Taurine supplement is expensive and the money you save in vet expenses through premium health can pay for itself. Aside from that, you will be rewarded with a long-lived, active, and healthy cat friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taurine supplements may be added to specific cat foods, most especially diets which are formulated for certain needs of cats like development and grown or for heart disease. Taurine supplementation is very safe, with no reports of problems associated with high dietary taurine intake in cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/animalsa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/What-foods-are-high-in-taurine-for-cats_-1-683x1024.png\" alt=\"What foods are high in taurine for cats\" class=\"wp-image-348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animalsa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/What-foods-are-high-in-taurine-for-cats_-1-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/animalsa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/What-foods-are-high-in-taurine-for-cats_-1-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/animalsa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/What-foods-are-high-in-taurine-for-cats_-1-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/animalsa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/What-foods-are-high-in-taurine-for-cats_-1.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taurine is one of the amino acids that cats require to be healthy.
