"This is the BEST hairball remedy I've ever found. I've been using Petromalt for over 30 years and have tried other remedies but nothing worked as well as Sentry's Petromalt. I won't be trying anything else."

— Mrsjh

"I have 4 cats, and not a single one of them will even eat. They sniff and turn up their nose.. i've even put them in the empty food bowl when they are meowing for food. Still won't touch them."

Bottom Line

Due to the consistent negative feedback and cats' unwillingness to consume these treats, it is not recommended. Explore other hairball remedies that are more palatable to cats.
