Vet's Best Cat Hairball Relief Digestive Aid gel- 100g

My 12-year-old, long-haired and much-loved moggie suffered several days of bringing up undigested food more than once per day, plus bile in the mornings before his breakfast. The vets couldn't find anything wrong with him - in fact, they said he seemed to be in rude health - and suggested it may be hairball-related. I started giving him this "Vet's Best" Hairball Control gel and within 48 hours he brought up several lengths of hair, then quite a sizeable hairball. The sickness reduced in frequency, then a few days later another hairball came up. After that, there's been just one occasion (within a period of a few weeks) where he was sick; the rest of the time he's been absolutely fine. For the first few days he would lick the gel from my finger, but then decided he wasn't too keen. Now, I put it on his paw, which he doesn't seem to mind too much and licks it off quite happily. He obviously doesn't hate it, as he remains as affectionate towards me as ever.I'm always wary of recommending products for other people's animals, as they're all different and what works for one may not for another. All I can say is, this gel has been a resounding success for my cat. Oh, and regarding the smell - mentioned in a couple of reviews - I really don't mind it... it's a yeasty, savoury smell - a bit like Marmite (so I guess you either love it or hate it!).

Ok my 2 hairy beasts don't lick it off my fingers or even a plate as suggested. But they get it weekly by a large syringe. It works brilliantly. My coonie who is mega hairy suffers bad with hair balls but since giving this weekly it has helped. No more weird noises with him trying to vomit up an alien. Have bought more and will use all the time. Brilliant stuff especially the gel one.

I gave this to my cats as they were suffering from hairballs especially as they are indoor cats and the change in season. I didnt notice much of a difference they were still doing the choking thing but not bringing anything up. Maybe that is a sign that its helped.My cats loved the smell and flavour which definitely helped with the application.I placed it on their paws but be warned this is very sticky and my cat did flick it off every now and again so if it gets in your carpets (which are dark) it's a nuisance to find and scrub out!

I was worried if the paste had a taste that my cats wouldn't like so I put some on my finger and they loved it, I now give it to them twice a week.

Thought I'd give this a go but my cat backs away from it! So it was a waste of money for me.Bit I'm sure some cats will like it. It smells a bit like marmite, so I suppose its a love it or hate it thing :)

My cats stomach started to swell last year and the vets just kept telling me she was overweight so bless her heart i put her on a full diet but her stomach wasn't going down, so i started to research all possibilities and came across a fur ball site and it explained how when a cat gets older they can struggle to expel them so they can get stuck and build up over time. After some research of the ingredients I took a chance and purchased this stuff, I'm not joking 2-3 days later she hacked up the largest fur ball i have ever seen and then repeated that for the next couple of days, her stomach went down and she is much more happier and back to her normal self. Due to this i purchased more of the gels they clearly work, she is a fussy eater and she likes the taste of this one but the other gels she doesn't seem to like them but i stir those into her wet food and she laps it up. A lot cheaper than constant vet visits, obviously if any situation continues then do take them to the vet but if it resolves it, happy days!

My cat wouldn't go near it. One sniff and there was no chance she'd take it. I left some in her dish with food around it but the food and the gel was left all day. The smell is quite strong & the cat sniffed it from a distance. A waste of money sadly.

Fabulous stuff, works a treat & my cat loves it so easy to get him to take it - this is quite a relief as he can be a fuss pot and didn't think he would take it... When we first tried it, he had been struggling with a hairball & couldn't move it - this was suggested to me.. I held my boy as my husband tried to get him to take it, but our boy refused & the get went all over my hand - as we didn't want him stressing decided to leave & rethink how best to administer it.. My husband went to put the gel away & I made a fuss over our boy to let him know it was ok - as I did he purred at his mini triumph over us, but sniffed at the gel on my hand so I let him.. He must have loved the smell as soon decided to taste it & oh boy did he like it... Got the tube back out and he couldn't take it off me quick enough - seems he didn't need any encouragement to take this medicine... Then to my delight, the hairball he had been struggling with for the past few days was out literally in the hour - was so happy for kitty.. We now give him regularly, which defiantly reduces the nasty hairballs.. So yes I would not hesitate to recommend this for any kitty prone to hairballs & I wouldn't worry about them taking it, seems a lot just love it - not going to say all anyone with cats will know they like to prove us wrong..
