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
