My pup takes Taurine daily and I feel it has helped her. I was surfing the net and found this statement:
"A daily supplementation of 100-300 milligrams of betaine HC1; 50-500 milligrams of dimethylglycine (DMG); 200-1,000 milligrams of taurine ; and 10-200 milligrams of proanthocyanidin is said to be helpful for the epileptic dogs."
I have never read these others supplements before.
Betaine HC1
Dimethylglycine
Proanthocyanidin
Anybody using any of these? results? Thoughts?

All those acronyms and long names for supplements does my head in! LOL Anyhoo, there's a epilepsy list on Yahoo and they use a cocktail of supplements, one of which is the DMG. I thought about trying it once, but not knowing anything about the supplements I decided not to go that route.
I used to use Taurine, too, and my boy didn't cluster for 10 months while using it, then it seemed to lose its effectiveness.
