Highlighted Reviews

β€” Brenda

"My vet told me yesterday my elderly cat's heart murmur is silent. What a great relief! So sorry that another order of this product was taken out of my autoship because it was discontinued."

β€” Edith

"Smudge threw up after first dose and refused to take any more. She doesn’t tolerate the Taurine."

Bottom Line

Consider alternative taurine products that do not contain maltodextrin. The high sugar content and negative user experiences with effectiveness and tolerance are significant concerns.
