I have very limited options for canned food locally, i give raw chicken when i can get it but is mostly necks/backs so white meat, and use a couple different cat foods and an all beef dog food, i have been doing this for a wile now but after talking to one of the companies that make the cat food they don't add taurine to it, it turns out they make the dog food as well under a different label and they said both have the same vitamins minerals! The dog food contains; fresh lean beef steaks and roasts, beef liver, beef kidney, carrots, guar gum vits/mins. The cat food is beef lung/liver, whole chicken, chicken viscera, salmon, guar gum, thiamine, other vits/mins.
My question is does the amount of meat mean there is enough taurine in the canned food if fed as a meal, to support a growing-adult cat, without it needing to be added or is the taurine in the meat destroyed by the cooking of the meat in the cans? I cant seem to find a clear answer?
