PetAg Taurine Tablets for Cats - 100 Tablets - Daily-Use, Chewable Supplement for Cats of All Ages

My cat has a taurine deficiency due to an unbalanced diet from years of pickiness secondary to GI issues, and his cardiologist recommended supplementing him. He LOVES these chews! On days his sister doesn't want to eat well, I give her one too and she also loves them.

I adopted a 5 month old kitten from a shelter because no one would claim him due to his medical issues. He dragged his back legs behind him and couldn't jump or walk normally. The shelter disclosed that he had dilated cardiomyopathy and a grade 3 heart murmur and their vet suspected he had a taurine deficiency and would need supplementation which *might* reverse his heart condition....but there was no guarantee. I wanted to give him a happy, loving home and a chance at a long life so I researched taurine deficiency and discovered these tablets on Amazon. I crushed one up and added it to his wet food, twice a day and he lapped it right up. I also gave him a multivitamin (drops) because he was very underweight and his fur was very coarse. He was born of a feral mother who was no doubt malnourished and passed it on to him. Taurine deficiency can result in blindness, but fortunately his eyesight was fine and with my intervention will not be an issue. Fast forward to his 8 month checkup at the vets and she could not find any trace of a heart murmur!!! His heart sounds were totally normal. He also runs, jumps and plays like a normal, wound-up kitten with no trace of lameness and more energy than any kitten I've had. His fur is silky now and he is about normal-size for his age. He will need to be seen again at one year but my vet is amazed....especially after looking at the x-rays of his heart from when he was so sick. These tablets have worked miracles for my precious kitten and I will continue to supplement until he is 1 1/2 yrs. old, per the vet's advise. This heart condition is reversible IF caught early enough, as was his case...and only with regulated taurine supplementation. I am so grateful.

I hope to get a replacement. Last review: My cat loves this and waits for this treat every morning. This is the same brand and dosage my veterinarian (RIP) recommended for a kitty who may not have received the best food as a kitten.

I break this up into my cats kibble. I have 5 cats and they all go straight to picking it out between kibble and eating it first like it's a treat. This is the first product all 5 consistently like. These are 4 cats I can't even get on the same wet or dry foods. One cat jumps on the counter, which she never does otherwise, and takes the broken pieces from the prep bowl I have when I prepping their wet food. Even my sick cat who wasn't eating ate it right away when I mixed it with treats. I give half a pill in AM and half a pill PM To each cat.

Unfortunately, none of my cats care for the taste of these, nor did my dog. Fortunately, my cats food provides added Taurine for their health. I planned to add to my dog's diet as a supplement for cardiac health; and had to crush and mix with the food to get any of them to eat them.It no doubt provides Taurine as indicated; but as a chewable it failed in our household.

My 15- to 16-year-old cat has been eating this for the last two weeks and it seems to be improving her appetite and energy. Hopefully these taurine tablets will give her more time. I just beak the scored tablets into two or three pieces and she eats them right away.

My kitty seemed to really like the taste so getting it down her was no issue.My issue is it took awhile for delivery - 6 days. New meaning for USPS snail mail.
