Does reduce Hairball puking

Both cats like it, and it has reduced the number of hairballs coughed up by my OCD coat cleaner who refuses to take petromalt formulas.

It took me 8 years of nearly daily vomits from my cat to finally try this. Was using the ineffective hairball treats before due to memories of resistant felines and petroleum jelly from my long long ago childhood. This stuff works! No pukes since the day I gave my daily vomiting cat some of this on her paws. Best yet, its not gooey. More the consistency of aquaphor. Stays on her paws long enough to lick it off but slick enough to get licked off easily.

I have my mother's cat now.  He isn't allowed outside.  He threw up on what seemed to be the majority of surfaces in her house, and was proceeding to leave what seems to be indelible marks on my floors, and rugs, and furniture.
This cat food has stopped that.
Despite having the old cat food, Purina One, still in his dish, he ate this anti-hairball cat food so fast when I opened the bag and put it into his dish, that I was sure I would have him throwing it up all over the place.  Didn't happen.
Things were better within 2 days, and he has now stopped any of the choking, throwing up, etc.  I haven't found any, seen any, or heard anything.
It's been a couple of weks now, and he still seems to love the food, and my life is much better.
I think it is well worth the price, and I am very glad I took the chance.

I bought the Purina Friskies Hairball Remedy in Chicken Flavor for my cat once.  I bought it because he was throwing up hairballs all over the place and absolutely would not let me give him the hairball paste thingy that is usually administered through a syringe (the paste was recommended by the vet).  I was tired of cleaning up hairball vomit nearly every other day, so I decided to try this product.  I bought the chicken flavor because my cat will eat almost anything if it is chicken flavored.  Additionally, since this item is more of a "treat" than a "medicine", I thought my cat would be more receptive to it.  The first few weeks, my cat would sniff the treats, and walk away.  He even tried one and spit it out.  The treats have a soft, doughy type of texture to them.  I tried breaking them up and mixing them in with his wet food and his dry food.  Somehow, he managed to eat around them!  Eventually, I gave up.  My husband tried again a couple of weeks later.  Eventually, my cat warmed up to them.  However, the treats didn't make a significant difference in the frequency of the hairballs he was throwing up.

While my cat did finish the bag, I never bought these treats again.  My vet had told me it is best to stick with one brand of food/treats/etc... with cats because they have sensitive stomachs.  I had purchased these treats because they are Purina and my cat had been eating Purina since his days in the animal shelter.  However, I recently switched to a different brand - Temptations, and my cat and I are both much happier with the new brand.  They do not bother his system and have made a significant difference in reducing the amount of hairballs he throws up.

My fussy cats love this product and it's effective in reducing hairballs.  Greenies are good for more than freshening tuna breath.

Most of my seven cats enjoyed the catnip hairball remedy.  It works to relieve those pesky hairballs with ease.  I sqeeze a little on my finger and my cat will lick it up.

We bought this at Target and applied it to both of my dogs yesterday afternoon.  We have two small dogs and they do not currently have fleas but we applied it as a precautionary measure.  Today, one of my dogs has been vomiting profusely.  He is unable to keep anything down.  It started off with him vomiting bile but it has now graduated into his chunky dinner.  My other dog is somewhat lethargic but has not yet vomited.  This may work on some dogs but I can't get my dog to stop vomiting.  We gave them both a bath today with the hopes of washing any remainder medication off.  Please buy with precaution and understand that your dog may end up very sick.

My cat was allergic to something in this food; and it didn't stop hairballs either.  She was viciously pulling out fur and puking.
I personally wouldn't recommend but it may work for others.

My cat has always had hairball issues until I switched to this food.  This formula seems to have corrected her stomach issues entirely.  I will continue buying for sure.

I like this product!  Although my cat's hairballs haven't disappeared completely, they happen much less frequently.  At first, she would pick around the tablets, but now I mix them in with her food (and I feed her less frequently), so she cleans her plate, tablets and all!

My senior cats tends to vomit.  However, this dry food has lessened that problem appreciably.  I have given this to both of them, and they enjoy it and find it easily digestible.  I highly recommend this food.  It might just work for senior's sensitive stomach.

Def helps if you are in a pinch. My nausea is pretty bad and I was prescribed digelis, but I take these when when the nausea hits and it's a quick fix.

She is an old cat...14 year...and has a problem with hairballs and digestion. In the last few months she has been having difficulty eating anything.  She was throwing up all the time. Several times a week. She would also pace around the house as if she had colic or a bad tummy ache.
The animal natural food store sold me this and told me to mix this in her food..She does not seem to mind the taste. I think this is good since she is a very picky eater. Since I have been giving her this she does not have problems with hairballs...she has stopped throwing up and seems to be more restful.
I think this supplement has been the cause of her change and would recommend it.

My cat is over 15 years old and never had a hairball problem until this past year when she developed a hyperactive thyroid.  The vet recommended Laxatone.  We wanted to avoid any digestive problems so we went with the natural non-petroleum version.  She's always been a fussy eater but she seems to like the chicken flavor.

We began using it daily and noticed a significant decrease in both the hacking cough and the number of nasty wads she was bringing up.  After a month we cut back to 3 times a week and that seems to be an effective dose for her.  At this rate one tube will last about 3 months so it's economical too.  Amazon had the best online price.

The only cons noted is the runny consistency and a tendency to separate so It needs to be shaken well.

Product is fine.  It's the cats that are the problem.  I have used this off and on for different cats for years.  Cats will be cats.  Some love it. Some won't go near it.  If your kitty likes it, it will do a great job on the hairballs and other throw up issues.

My cat loves it and it has definitely made a difference with his hairballs -- he vomits them up much less frequently since I started giving him one of these every night.

Our cat loves this stuff and it solved the cat puke problem.
