Highlighted Reviews

— Karen

"My beautiful black and white cat Racey is a finicky eater. GNC hairball is the first hairball remedy she eats willingly."

— disappointed

"I am very disappointed that the packaging and treat shape has changed. My cat has been taking this supplement for years now. This new shape and possible formula change is upsetting to me. When my cat eats this new one, it falls apart and she walks away. I have been hoping the old one will come back...."

This product may be a good option if your cat is not picky and accepts new shapes and flavors. However, if your cat is particular about their treats, you might want to consider an alternative.
