Hairballs in Cats

Almost every cat owner has come across hairballs at some point, or heard their cat retching as it tried to bring one up. Hairballs are easy to recognise, as they have a distinctive cylindrical shape and are made up of fur. They're sometimes accompanied by stomach juices or undigested bits of food. Hairballs form in a cat's stomach from the fur it swallows while grooming. Below you'll find supplements to help prevent them or support digestion.

The best prevention against hairballs is regular brushing. For long-haired breeds, brushing is absolutely essential. Brushing removes loose, dead fur from your cat's coat and significantly reduces the chances of it swallowing fur that's about to shed.

Another way to help prevent hairballs is by using the dietary supplements we offer below. These supplements simply help fur pass through a cat's digestive system as part of the digestion process.
