Hello Eileen, thanks for commenting, and I apologize for the late reply! In 2022, there was a change in the products ranked here, but the rest of the article was not properly updated to reflect the change in recommendations. I will edit this! However, Cat Lax is made and sold by Dechra Pharmaceuticals, a veterinary product company. You can buy it on Chewy (linked). This is my original review: The gel’s first ingredient is cod liver oil, which is both a lubricant and a source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. These fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and may improve skin and coat health, helping to control the hairball problem at its source.

Many cat owners find it very difficult and distressing to hear their cats gagging and retching, and they start to wonder if there is anything they should be worrying about. This self-grooming is completely normal and cats should be doing it to keep their fur in good condition. Cat hairball treatment comes in various forms depending on your cat’s dietary needs and preferences. If they regularly suffer from furballs, it could be worth buying food that they can have daily and will continuously ensure their throat is lubricated. But if it is occasional, treats it temporary medication may be suitable.

Feline Greenies Hairball Control Smartbites help minimize hairball formation and aid digestion while also giving your cat a boost of healthy nutrition. Nutri-Vet Hairball Paw Gel contains natural non-petroleum ingredients to lubricate your cat's digestive tract and it supports healthy skin and coat. The tubes are no-fuss from a humans point of view. He won't eat the paste on it's own (though, he is a very selective eater) but mixed in a bit of t-u-n-a or amongst his favorite treaties at dinner time and it is not a problem. He had a hairball, I think, the morning after the first time he ate the paste but then they literally vanished thereafter. We give him the paste with dinner probably every other day, or a few times a week and I am now on the 3rd tube. He has had a total of 2 hairballs since starting this which is absolutely wonderful improvement! I could not be without it now, I am very grateful and I'm sure he is, too (well, as much as a cat can be).Egg yolks have interesting properties for hairball control. They contain choline and lecithin, which work together to, respectively, encourage GI contractions and emulsify the fat that binds hairballs together.
