1. Why is there taurine in the COMPANION for Life cat product, but not in the COMPANION for Life dog product?

 Cats are carnivores and need meat to survive. Their biochemical and nutritional needs are therefore different than that of dogs (which are omnivores, meaning they can survive on plants as well as meat). Taurine is essential for cats, yet they cannot manufacture it on their own. Therefore supplemental taurine has to be added to the cat’s diet, but does not have to be added to most dogs’ diets.

2. Were any animals used in the testing of COMPANION for Life?

 Legacy COMPANION for Life was tested by a focus group of pet owners to get their and their pets’ responses to COMPANION in terms of taste and experiences. Numerous stories of older pets acting like kittens and puppies again, and dogs “begging” for a COMPANION “treat” convinced us that we had an excellent opportunity to change pets’ quality of life.
