Amino acids are the "building blocks" of proteins. All animals require amino acids to maintain a healthy physiological function. Proteins are made up of groups of amino acids, around 10 of which cannot be produced by a cat's body and need to be supplied within the diet.

Taurine is an amino acid which can only be found in animal protein. It is not present in vegetarian protein sources like grains. It is important to maintain of a healthy heart, healthy skin and hair and good eyesight.

Previous studies have reported that taurine deficiency may arise from grain and rice-based diets where the primary protein is vegetable meals. It is hypothesized that consumption of such diets with inadequate methionine and cysteine can result in taurine deficiency in pet's body.

It is sensible for cats to consume diets with sulphur amino acid precursors of taurine, cysteine and methionine are consistent with latest animal nutritional research.

Based on laboratory studies, our unique goats milk for cat formula contains an appropriate amount of taurine, multi-vitamins and minerals. In addition, we follow scientific animal feeding tests procedures strictly, which have substantiated that PetsBuddy™ Taurine Enriched Formula provides complete and balanced nutrition, with no indication of taurine-deficient dilated cardiomyopathy in cats.

It is found that the method of processing has a significant effect on taurine loss. Generally, high temperature could destroy taurine and its precursors. To avoid this, we use the leading wet-dried technology to keep taurine active and retain the specific amino acids in order to provide sufficient levels of naturally occurring, highly bioavailable methionine, cysteine and taurine.
