Tomlyn Laxatone Tuna Flavored Gel Hairball Control Supplement for Cats, 4.25-oz

My two female kitties willingly take hairball gels, but my 2 yr old baby boy (at 15 lb) backs away from every type and flavor I've tried like it's poison. But this one in tuna flavor--he was a bit curious, cautiously took the tiniest taste. Then another. Then he finished the dose. He's a gray tuxedo with thick plushy fur, so I'm thrilled to finally find a good hairball gel that he'll take! Thanks!

My Ragdoll cat has so much FUR and coughing up hair balls are a constant problem. This gel doesn't entirely SOLVE the problem, but it helps alot. I buy it regularly and give it to my cat every day.

One thing you won't see (as often, anyway) is a cat hawking up hairballs... I remember the bad ol' days when I had to smear Laxatone onto my cat's paws to get her to eat it. She would try to shake it off her paw first, splitting sticky gunk all over the room. Years later, new cat, better product: My cat Opal literally grabs my hand so she can lick the medicine off my finger. She's even tried to eat it right out of the tube! I give her a tiny bit every morning and night, which has stopped her hairball production by about 90 percent. We are very happy with this product.

This stuff DOES work for keeping the hair flowing, but the packaging and the way the product comes out is such a huge messy pain. If it's above 70F in your house, it will come out a watery, runny, sticky mess. It needs to be just a wee bit cooler in order to come out in a semi-solid form that you can actually distribute (without getting all over yourself and in your cats fur). But I continue to buy it because it does work and that's really all that matters.
