Ingredient
Taurine
Last updated: July 2026
Taurine is an amino acid, but not one used to build proteins the way most amino acids are. Instead it stays free in tissue, concentrated in the heart, eyes, brain, and muscle, where it supports a range of everyday cellular functions.
Role
Why taurine matters in canine nutrition
Taurine is one of the more established names in dog nutrition. It's found throughout the body's most metabolically active tissues, and its role in canine health has been the subject of ongoing veterinary research and attention. That existing body of knowledge is exactly why it earns a place in a considered formula rather than a novelty ingredient chosen for the label.
Formula

We include taurine as part of building a complete daily chew rather than a single-ingredient creatine product. It's included at a level our formulator set deliberately as part of the overall formulation.
