Dog food is not required to contain any taurine. Not a minimum. Not a trace. And from around age seven, your dog's body makes less of it on its own. One tasteless scoop of Kovah Taurine in her dinner each day puts back what the bowl leaves out, before you ever see the signs.

Senior Dog Heart Guide
Most owners reorder before the first tub runs out.
Taurine is an amino acid. Your dog's heart, eyes and immune system all lean on it to do their job.
When it runs low, the heart muscle loses strength, the eyes lose sharpness and your dog gets sick more often. The rules that govern dog food don't require any taurine at all, so most bowls contain very little.
The hard part is that nothing shows on the outside until a lot has already changed on the inside.
Kovah gives your dog a measured 500mg of L-taurine per scoop, the daily amount veterinary cardiologists work with.
Yes. Taurine is one of the most studied nutrients in veterinary medicine.
It has no known side effects. Whatever the body doesn't use, it simply passes.
Dogs of every age, size and breed can have it daily, from puppies to very old dogs.
Kovah is vet formulated, lab tested for purity and dose, and made with no artificial fillers. You know exactly what's going into the bowl.
That's exactly when to start.
A taurine shortfall is silent. No limp, no whimper, no obvious sign. The heart is already working harder long before anything looks wrong.
In a landmark UC Davis study, 96% of dogs with taurine-related heart disease improved once taurine was added back. The point is to never get to that stage.
Vets recommend taurine as a preventive for this reason. The best time to start is while your dog still seems fine.
"Our labrador Bruno is 10 and a big boy at 38 kilos, so he's on three scoops. We nearly lost him last year. The cardiologist mentioned taurine and my wife found Kovah. Six months on, his last check-up genuinely surprised the vet. He's not a pup, but he's here, he's happy and he still carries his lead to the car."

"Zara is our 8-year-old newfoundland cross, 48 kilos, three scoops. Big dogs burn through taurine faster, which I didn't know until I read the Kovah guide. She's healthy and I wanted to keep her that way. Ten weeks in she's playing with the kids again in the evening instead of flopping down after dinner. Easy decision. Tasteless, mixes straight into her kibble."

"I'm a nurse, so I read everything before I buy anything for Ruby. Most dog taurines don't tell you the dose or they bury it in a blend. Kovah says 500mg L-taurine per scoop and shows the lab test. Ruby's a 7-year-old golden retriever, 29 kilos, two scoops a day. She's been on it four months and I feel like I've closed a gap I didn't know was there."

"My wife put me onto this and I'll admit I thought it was another fad. Then I read that dog food isn't required to have any taurine in it. That got me. Charlie, our 11-year-old kelpie cross, 25 kilos, has had two scoops a day for three months. More energy than he's had in years. Vet said he looks great. She was right, as usual."

"Sadie is a 13-year-old German shepherd, 35 kilos, three scoops. I'm not very good with all the research. My son set it up for me. What I can tell you is she asked to go out for her evening walk last week for the first time in months. I had a bit of a cry on the footpath. She hadn't wanted to go anywhere in months."

"I fed Jasper grain-free for years before I read about the heart problems linked to it. He's a 9-year-old labrador, 36 kilos, three scoops a day. Changed his food and started Kovah the same week. His latest heart check was clear and his coat is the best it's ever been. I just wish I'd known earlier."

"Pepper is a golden retriever, 8 years old, 30 kilos, two scoops. My neighbour lost her staffy to a heart condition at 7 and said nobody had mentioned taurine to her. That was enough for me. Pepper is perfectly well and I'm keeping it that way. The powder has no smell and she wolfs her food down the same as always."

"Our vet found a heart murmur in Milo at his 9-year check. He's a labradoodle, 25 kilos, so two scoops. The vet suggested taurine and I chose Kovah because it's made for dogs and the dose is on the tub. He's been on it five months now. More spark, longer walks, and his last listen was steady. I order two tubs at a time now."

"Lucy is a boxer, 10 years old, 30 kilos, two scoops. She'd started coughing a little after drinking water and I'd put it down to age. Four weeks in, I realised I hadn't heard the cough for days. Her check-up was good. I'm not saying it's a cure for anything, but she's brighter, and I sleep better."
Kovah Taurine€31,95The quiet shortfall behind so many dogs who are "just getting older".
64%
of dogs already have taurine levels below normal
CURE Project, Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2024
Taurine is the most abundant amino acid in the heart muscle. When it runs short, the heart quietly loses strength, long before anyone hears a murmur.
The retina carries the highest concentration of taurine anywhere in the body. Low levels show up as cloudy, dull eyes and a dog who hesitates in low light.
Taurine helps the immune system respond without overreacting. It keeps inflammation in check so your dog bounces back from the little things.
Taurine is one of the body's strongest antioxidants. It protects cells from the wear that makes a seven-year-old dog act like a twelve-year-old.
What owners told us after 90 days of Kovah Taurine.
* Post-purchase survey of 500 Kovah customers whose dogs had taken Kovah Taurine daily for at least 90 days.
As dogs age, their body makes less taurine, and with it goes the ability to protect cells from everyday wear. A measured daily scoop gives your dog's body what it can no longer make enough of on its own.
Taurine works inside immune cells as a direct antioxidant, mopping up the free radicals that keep inflammation simmering. It helps your dog's defences fight back without turning on themselves.
Taurine controls how calcium moves inside heart cells, which is what drives every single beat. When it runs low, the heart muscle thins and the chambers start to stretch, quietly, over months.
The retina holds more taurine than almost any other tissue. When levels fall, the light-sensing cells deteriorate slowly, silently, and often for good.
From around seven, your dog's body makes less taurine every year. The older she gets, the more her heart, eyes and immune system depend on getting it from somewhere else. Senior dogs need it most.
Good. That's the moment to start. A taurine shortfall gives no warning. No limp, no cough, no sign at all, until the heart has already been working harder for months. By the time something looks wrong, you've lost time you can't get back.
Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, Newfoundlands, Dobermans, Great Danes and Boxers all carry a documented tendency to taurine-related heart disease. For these dogs, a daily scoop isn't an extra. It's part of looking after them properly.
Grain-free diets are the biggest known risk factor. They are consistently linked to lower taurine levels in dogs, enough that regulators opened a formal investigation. If your dog eats grain-free, don't wait on this.
Most vets only test taurine after symptoms appear. By then the damage is done. Kovah is preventive. It fills the gap before your vet ever needs to have that conversation with you.
Consistency is everything. Here's what one scoop a day does over time.

"Taurine is the one nutrient dog food is allowed to leave out, and by the time a tired heart reaches my table the shortfall has usually been building for years. A measured 500mg scoop a day is the simplest thing an owner can do. Kovah is the one I'm happy to put my name to."Try Kovah Taurine →

We know what it's like to be sold to. There are a lot of tubs out there making a lot of promises, and we'd rather you saw it for yourself. So give Kovah Taurine a full 90 days. If your dog isn't brighter, steadier and more herself, write to us and we'll refund every cent. No forms, no fuss, no need to send the tub back.
Going FastYes, and the reason is simple. The rules for dog food set no minimum for taurine. None. So most dogs are quietly running low no matter how good the bag looks. A measured 500mg scoop a day takes the guesswork out of it.
Adding taurine is one of the first things veterinary cardiologists recommend when DCM is linked to diet or a taurine shortfall. Kovah delivers the dose they work with, 500mg of L-taurine per scoop, lab tested. Keep your vet in the loop so they can track progress alongside any treatment.
Dog food doesn't have to contain any taurine, and whatever small amount is there gets knocked about by cooking, processing and months on a shelf. Kovah gives a direct, measured 500mg per scoop. Not an estimate hidden inside a formula you can't check.
Large and giant breeds carry the highest risk: Dobermans, Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Irish Wolfhounds and Boxers among them. Golden Retrievers have been studied closely. Cocker Spaniels come up again and again. And any dog on a grain-free diet, whatever the breed, is at higher risk. Any dog on kibble is getting less taurine than you'd think.
Taurine is safe for dogs of all ages. Puppies in a growth spurt, and large-breed puppies especially, benefit from early support. Just follow the weight guide on the tub. The same guide applies whatever the age.
Yes. Taurine has no known interactions with heart medication, joint supplements or the other common dog supplements. If your dog is under cardiac care, mention it to your vet, not because there's a concern, but so they have the full picture.
Kovah Taurine is tasteless and odourless. It disappears into food completely. No grit, no smell, nothing your dog will notice. If yours is very particular, stir it into a spoonful of wet food or a splash of broth. We've yet to hear of a dog turning down dinner because of it.
Most owners notice the first changes within 4 to 6 weeks: more go on walks, a glossier coat, eyes that look clearer. These aren't your imagination. Taurine directly supports the retina, the immune system and the way cells make energy, so what you see reflects what's changing inside. For dogs already running low, the deeper heart changes build over 3 to 4 months. If you're starting as a preventive, those surface changes are your signal that it's working. The heart protection is happening underneath, where you can't see it. We recommend committing to at least 90 days, which is why the 3-tub pack exists.
One tub holds 60 servings. For a dog up to 11 kg (25 lb) on one scoop a day, that's 60 days. For a dog between 11 and 34 kg (25 to 75 lb) on two scoops, 30 days. For a dog over 34 kg (75 lb) on three scoops, about 20 days. Most owners of medium and large dogs choose 2 or 3 tubs so they never run out.
