I use Royal Canin Intense hairball 34 formula for my cats that were constantly puking hairballs. This product is half the price, but does it work?

Yes, absolutely it works!! I rarely see hairballs at all when using Purina One Hairball Formula Cat Food.

This does work. I have a long haired cat. Before using the product he coughed up hairballs often. After using this I find an average of 1 hairball every couple months. I highly recommend it.

I would say compared to the last product I used (Iams Hairball, more expensive as well), it actually works a little better. I would say maybe one hairball every two-three weeks, compared to one every week or so with Iams.

It works great for cats too. Use an eye dropper or syringe to administer it instead of trying to spray it in the mouth.

Yes, that's how it works. My cat loves it and I like it because it minimizes the hair balls in his digestive track.

My kitty had chronic, STINKY, diarrhea the 1st 3 months we had him and NOTHING worked. Since we've been putting this on his food, his diarrhea cleared up. He's been regular for three months now, so I'm going to try to wean him off. Same product my vet gave me!!!!

If you're talking about throwing up their meals, then I had the same problem at first. I found that if I increase their dose slowly I can avoid this. I increased by 1/4 pill per week, up to 3 pills per day for the biggest kitty (15lbs). I was pretty conservative, because .. yuck. I balance the dose based upon the "results". If you're still cleaning up hairballs increase gradually, and if their stool gets runny then drop it down a bit.

No idea. My cat likes all the flavors and his teeth and breath are much improved after just a couple of months. He is not a candidate for a teeth cleaning due to his age(14)and health(insulin dependent diabetic.He is on a prescription diet and "begs"(with a claw) people food. I decided that it would be better to give him something more beneficial than people meat. I NOW just get the hairball formula since he was constantly wanting more & more. He has never liked any treats before this. He is a grazer and never has gained any weight before. Now I think we're going to be in trouble when we go to the vet. That's why I cut back to the hairball kind & count how many I put in his dish. He LOVES them!!!

Yes! This product really works. I have one in the basket right beside my chair at all times. It works quite well on everything. I would not exert a lot of pressure on delicate fabrics like cashmere. I have a long haired white and fawn cat. I wait until I'm ready to leave before dressing but the few hairs that I do pick up are picked up with the 3M Pet hair Remover. I had quite a search before I found refills available on this site.

I've never heard of someone using it on a cat but I don't see how it could hurt. The name of the product is even listed as PET shampoo on my page. There is no medication in the shampoo. If it was a flea shampoo I would say absolutely no. Hope it works out for you. This is the best shampoo I've found.

Yes, it will work. My suggestion for applying it next month, is to get a friend to help you by holding her. (May even need to wrap her in a towel to keep her still) I believe it "tickles" as it runs down their skin under the fur which is why they have problems being still. As you get better at applying it, Bonnie, try giving her a special treat and you might be able to dose her while she is eating - but you have to be fast with this method. The towel works well for me with cleaning ears, giving antibiotics, pills, etc. But someone else holds the toweled cat while I "dose" it. Hope this helps. Amy

It's hard for me to tell. I have five cats and they all vomit (hairballs, mostly), but they rarely pick the same spots. So I don't have any good experience with what you're describing. I haven't used this tool in a while, because I eliminated all the carpeting and rugs in the house due to the cats vomiting so much. When I was using it, it didn't seem to harm the carpet at all. Some of it, I imagine, has to do with how much pressure you use when cleaning. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Good luck!

Actually, I still have some. I think it is just too mild for my cat's problem. She was attacked and suffered trauma. She is on meds from the doctor and I was just trying to find something to help. I noticed little difference with this product. I DID find something that helped, Safe Space for Cats from Spirit Essences. You just spray it on bedding or similar places. Even her prescription meds seem to be more effective after I started using the Spirit Essences.

I used it for my dog and it solved his stomach issue. There is a number to call on the box for Nutramax laboratories, 1-888-886-6442 so you can get the correct answer. Good luck and hope it works as well on your cat!

I have 2 cats, ages 3 and 9. They have had flea treatments since they were old enough [see directions on product]. They have had no adverse reactions and it does work. Maybe you should consult with a vet before using it on an elder kitty - who hasn't used the product before? - to see if the dosage & ingredients would pose a problem.

I only use mine twice a week. The softness of the bristles and the glove design make this a great product for cats like yours. I have a 6 month old maine coon kitten and she loves to be groomed by this. As far as for hairball prevention, I really do not know. My cat does not really have that problem. All I can say is give it a try and see if it works. If anything it would give you the excuse to give your cat attention while also grooming it.

It's not quite as firm as Petromalt--not like a very solid squirt of Vasoline, say--but I find that my older cat is more likely to finish it as she doesn't have the difficulties of losing a 'chunk' that won't spread or stick. She eats it off the back of my hand & practically scrapes the skin off to make sure it's all gone...I've never had better luck with hairball remedy dosing!

Yes but it did not work on my cat. She was still jumping quickly and biting and scratching. How very frustrating for us and her! The only thing I liked about it was the smell and the safer aspect of it. Glad that I got it at the add on price that didn't cost a lot, but its still wasted money that is hard to come by, if it doesn't work for me.. I'm so tired of buying things that don't work. Sigh.
