Heart health in pets

Weak heart muscles in dogs and cats that lead to a condition called Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is mostly preventable but is now a challenge.

Taurine is vital for functioning of the heart


Taurine is an amino acid
⏩ essential for cats
⏩ that cannot be synthesized by cats on their own
⏩ conditionally essential for dogs

that gets missed often in home cooked meals

Chronic illness(es) or symptoms of low productivity start to appear
❌ Weakened heart muscles (Dilated Cardiomyopathy - DCM)
❌ Retarded growth in kittens
are common

Additionally,
❌ Prone to contagious diseases
❌ Progressive blindness
❌ Reproductive failure

Taurine plays critical roles in
✅ Heart function
✅ Vision
✅ Bile salt formation
✅ Building immunity
✅ Reproductive health

In cats, taurine is a major preventable cause of DCM. This is the same with some of the dog breeds such as in Golden Retreiver's in addition to the genetic predisposition of certain breeds to DCM

Taurine is present in animal based protein sources and rich in
1. Organ meat
2. Sea food

3. Synthetic taurine

but due to
⏩ Price factor
⏩ Accessibility issues 
⏩ intolerance/irritation by or in the gut

providing sufficient amounts of taurine through food for most of the pets is now a challenge

This is why we built Spotz - Hypd out of a proprietary blend of 100% natural human grade ingredients to supplement all essential amino acids including taurine for both cats and dogs
