"She is picky and we didn't know if this Hartz Hairball remedy would work out but she loves it. No fuss to give them everyday. We will keep buying them every few months. They are working out very well."
"These are NOT chewy at all they are hard. My cats won't touch them. Tried to soften them up, soaked 48 hours in water -- still too hard to feed to cats. Will never purchase again. Not Chewy's fault."
Bottom Line
If you're looking for a cost-effective hairball remedy, these treats might be worth a try, but be prepared for potential issues with texture and hardness. Monitor your cat's reaction closely, and consider other options if your cat doesn't take to them.
