Great quality and taste!

I've always known Tiki Cat to be a high quality brand of cat food. I tried their Born Carnivore hairball formula of dry food for our three longhaired cats. My oldest cat, Ollie, has frequent issues with hairballs and my other two boys occasionally have these issues. Our vet found no heath problems and recommended we feed a hairball formula food to reduce hairballs. We've tried other brands with some success - we've seen a reduction in Ollie's hairballs, but he still would have them once or twice a week. After the first week eating Born Carnivore we haven't seen any hairballs yet. Best of all, our boys love the food! This recipe is grain free, high in protein, and includes natural vegetable fiber to help reduce hairballs. We feed it with wet food so our boys get the hydration they need. I think we've found a new favorite dry food!

Great help for hairballs

The Tiki Cat Hairball Chicken Recipe is wonderful! I wanted something to help our cats since they had hairballs often and aren’t always easy to brush. The prebiotics and fiber has helped lessen those uky lumps you find on the floor at times. I first wanted to make sure that they weren’t going to reject it so I gave them some on their mat. They ate it up voraciously! Yeah! It’s big enough to use as treats also so it’s a win win.

And it works! I’ve noticed a marked difference is hairballs, as in only 1 in a month instead of 4-5 a week. When the cat(s) start coughing and acting like a hairball is forming, I give them Tiki for their next meal with no other food. It almost stops it in its tracks. They are not dry food fans but this they enjoy mixed in, or exclusively. It has a rich odor that is ‘healthy’. Excellent quality dry formula. One cat even broke into the bag before even trying it. I mix it 50/50 with canned food.

We have 3 cats with different health issues and dietary needs and taste in food. One of our cats was born with a digestive issue that took us over a year to get sorted out with multiple vet visits and trial and error. What ended up working for her was a high fiber prescription food GI formula kibble, so despite us being less than happy with the cost and the ingredients, she had been on it for 9 years, as literally everything else we tried to feed her that was of a higher quality ingredient list made her digestive issues start up again. I work at a small, higher end pet store and can easily get virtually any food of my choosing. I tried everything I could think of to get our girl onto a better quality food, including adding fiber sources to her food when called for, but still without success. About a month ago, our store brought in this particular Tiki Cat variety, so I figured I'd give it a try. It worked! For the first time in nine years, my cat was able to successfully get off her Rx food and has experienced no relapse! Not only that, but one of our other cats that has had horrible hairball issues her entire ten years of life is no longer having so many. Initially with this food, she seemed to have more hairballs than usual for about two weeks after the full transition. But since then she hasn't had any at all. Though that wasn't the reason for switching to this food initially, it's a great benefit if it continues to do what it's advertised as doing, helping with her hairballs. Our third cat is diabetic and is on a wet food diet, but if he's able to sneak any stray kibbles of this he will do it in a heartbeat. All three cats like it, the two girls seem to be getting lots of benefits from it, and compared to the Rx food they were on, their fur and skin are much better on the Tiki Cat, and their weight is stable. I'm thrilled with this formula for them and that it finally freed them from the need for GI prescription food.

I got this because one of my cats has pretty regular hairballs. I was concerned at first because the pieces of kibble are slightly bigger than what my cats have been eating. I quickly found out there was nothing to fear. All three of my cats, even my pickiest eater, had no issues eating this. I can’t be certain if it’s effective with hairballs yet. He hasn’t had any yet but time will tell.

My picky cats both ate this food no problem and I like the clean carnivore ingredients. My female cat always pukes up hairballs so I was really hoping this would reduce the problem, it has only been a few days but the hairballs are still coming. Hopefully there will be no more hairballs in the coming weeks but I'd still recommend because I have seen a reduction on the number of hairballs.

I have 6 indoor cats and many barn cats. My not so picky cats ate it at expected. But 1 out of my 2 very picky cats ate it like she was starving. Thank goodness, because she also has a hairball issue and I'm hopeful this food will help that problem.

I have a 9 yr old short hair cat. She has had hairballs all her life. Every 2-3 weeks she would have a hair ball fiasco! Night one would be foam, two would be a few hair balls and night three would be a little fur. Spending multiple days watching where I step is no fun. Tried laxatone and she gets Weruva/tiki cat wet twice a day but once we switched to this dry food in September 2025, she has had only one hairball in 4 months. We are both much happier! Hope it continues!

I was hoping my cat would like this cat food because of the good ingredients like chicken, probiotics, fiber etc. She has hairballs all the time so I’m trying to find something good to help her. But she just doesn’t like this food. She eats a bite and walks away. I’m going to try a topper on top of this food to see if she’ll eat it that way.
