Hi Crazy4Cats and Susan,
Thank you for referencing my blog post!
I am a dog and cat lover, journalist, and researcher. I did a lot of research and read up on some papers when writing my blog post http://bit.ly/TaurineDeficiency.
I saved a few of the papers in my dropbox if you’d like to take a look at them: http://bit.ly/TaurineDropbox
I recently needed to change Maui’s diet but most of the time dog food bags do not list the amount of taurine in the food. I will usually directly contact the company and ask how much taurine is in the dog food before I purchase.
Since there is no set criteria for how much taurine a dog needs, it is probably best to talk to your veterinarian about what they feel the minimum taurine requirement should be for a dog.
Wishing you a pawsome day, Lynne and Maui
