| I wanted something that didn't have petroleum in it (I can't believe that petroleum products don't cause more harm in our pets than good), and I was delighted to find several brands of hairball remedy made with natural oils and no petroleum. Of the three brands I've tried, my cat seems to like Vetbasis the most, although this isn't saying much, since she'll readily lick up all three. I hesitate to give it to her with a meal, as the point of hairball remedies is to speed the hairballs through the digestive tract. Since the gel can't distinguish between hairballs and food, you don't want to speed food through, too, as this might prevent the cat from absorbing all the nutrients she needs from it before it's expelled from the body. Therefore, I give the gel to her once a day, well before any meals. I squirt a little in her food dish and sometimes I toss in a little cat treat with it, and she licks it up readily. She loves both the salmon and the chicken flavor, and she has gotten to look forward to her "slime" so much that she vociferously demands it every morning. I highly recommend this product. |
