Domestic cats and dogs are carnivores that have evolved differentially in the nutrition and metabolism of amino acids. This article highlights both proteinogenic and nonproteinogenic amino acids. Dogs inadequately synthesize citrulline (the precursor of arginine) from glutamine, glutamate, and proline in...
Research in cats has shown that increased fermentation-derived propionic acid and its metabolites can be used as alternative substrates for gluconeogenesis, thus sparing amino acids for other purposes. This amino acid sparing effect could be of particular interest in patients with kidney or liver ...
AminAvast® Kidney Support for Dogs is a nutritional supplement composed of a combination of amino acids and peptides. Clinical studies have shown that a dog's health can be improved mere weeks after starting the supplement. Some of the improvements include a healthier coat. No side effects or...
Taurine is a unique amino acid because it is only found in animal tissues and, unlike other amino acids, it is found free in the body and is not incorporated into protein. Many cells are able to make taurine, but the liver is the primary production site. ...

plums and broccoli sprouts. These ingredients are nutritious and free from any harmful additives. They are also complemented by taurine, minerals and the essential vitamins your pooch needs in order to stay healthy. This combination of protein, probiotics and amino acids offer a wealth of benefits...
Plasma amino acid concentrations and urinary amino acid excretion were exanined in Pointer puppies fed a crystalline amino acid diet. Amino acids accounted for only a small percentage (1.7%) of total urinary nitrogen (N). In addition, amino acid excretion accounted for a low percentage (<1%)...
protein synthesis in susceptible organisms. Complete suppression of the assimilation of ammonia and of the incorporation of amino acids, particularly glutamic acid, together with an increased formation of ribonucleic acid (RNA), lead to an inhibition of bacterial growth (4,14,15,16, and 17). ...
AdvaCare Pharma is a reputable manufacturer of veterinary medicine for dogs used for the treatment and prevention of many common health concerns including internal and external parasites, allergies and other canine infections.
taurine is an amino acid that is essential for the proper function of the heart and other organs. A deficiency in taurine can lead to the development of dilated cardiomyopathy, which can cause the heart to become enlarged and weakened. In addition to nutritional deficiencies, other factors such...
