Science Diet Hairball Control Mature Adult 7+ Cat Food, 8.5 Lb

This food is liked by the cats and does work. A new cat to our household was on this food. She came with a large bag. The old cat would sneak and eat a little now and then so I put her a bowl of her own out. She had a terrible problem with hairballs. No more! She is 18 years old and loves this food. She has lost weight and seems to be getting younger everyday.

Okay, gross title, but that's what this product is about. My 8 year old American short hair tabby was licking herself bald from a nervous condition. And then every morning would eat and then regurgitate everything... several times... all over the house. My vet suggested Science Diet hairball and since then, kitty has stopped! We give her some every night and then first thing in the morning, just to make sure that her tummy doesn't get more upset. No more messes to clean up! Excellent product!

To start: I have a medium haired cat.

When my cat was 11 years old she started vomiting every 1-2 days... scared, I brought her to the vet. The vet said it was only hairballs and suggested two things: #1. Switch to either Science Diet hairball Control "Mature Cat" or their "Diet" hairball control line (since she was a little chubby); #2. try to feed her a tablespoon of canned pumpkin-the same kind you would make pie with- to help lubricate her throat to prevent the hairball. She absolutely refused to eat the pumpkin which left us to trying this product-and it worked. We have been using it for over 4 years with very few problems.

A few tips that my husband and I had to figure out:

1.Don't expect your cat to be 100% right away. It took us a couple weeks to not be on high guard every time we heard her make a noise.

2. Only give your cat the hairball control, if you want to give him/her a canned treat, Hairball Control also comes in...Read more
