"We use this twice a week and both cats think it is a treat and we don't have any hairballs! Win-win!"

β€” Tabitha

"Our cat Bernice has struggled with hairball problems for a long time. She has trouble passing them and instead throws up. We got her on a hairball diet that was working wonders, and then brought in a new kitten who she feels is a dirty mongrel she has to groom the streets off of. Now she’s throwin..."

Bottom Line

Great for cats who love the flavor, but not suitable for picky eaters. Effective in some cases, but consider your cat's preferences.
