VETBASIS HAIRBALL REMEDY

On: 2008-04-29

Product seems to be working fast with my cats. It is all natural so it is safe. One of my cats is long-haired, and he does not cough up fur balls, but, rather, passes them. This product makes it easier; so we are both happy! Paid a good price through KV Pet Supply in NE, too.

Hairball Medicine works!

We have found the Vetbasis Hairball Remedy - Chicken Flavor to be the only one of its type that our cat Buster will eat.... and it seems to help him greatly with the hairball situation. He is a very large, long haired cat and this product seems to work. We mix about 2.5 inches of it into his food every morning. Buster is happy and we are happy.

Cat loves it, better for her, too

I wanted something that didnt have petroleum in it (I cant believe that petroleum products dont 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 Ive tried, my cat seems to like Vetbasis the most, although this isnt saying much, since shell 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 cant distinguish between hairballs and food, you dont want to speed food through, too, as this might prevent the cat from absorbing all the nutrients she needs from it before its 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.

Great for Diabetic Cats! Easy to use.

My diabetic cat was having hairballs quite frequently (along with bouts of constipation because of them) and this is the only remedy I found that was sugar-free and acceptable for diabetic cats. It mixes into the food or they can lick it off a plate or your finger. It should remain refrigerated, otherwise it may separate and get greasy. Its fish flavored, and even my finicky cat liked it. We used it daily for about 4 days then once or twice a week afterward. Worked for us!

Works OK, mixes with food easier

My cat doesnt like the taste of this, but she doesnt like any of the other hairball gels Ive tried either (salmon, tuna, malt flavor,various brands). Unlike other brands Ive tried, it is supposed to be used daily. However, it mixes into food better than most brands, perhaps because its canola oil based rather than petroleum based. And my cat will eat it when its stirred into a teaspoon of tuna. (Believe it or not, she can lick around the petroleum based gels and leave them on the plate while eating the tuna--but she cant do it with the Vetbasis one.)

My cat luuuves this stuff!

My cat thinks its manna. I like how it helps her if she has a little bit of "gag" due to a hairball. Its almost like a reward seeing how she gobbles up this stuff. The gel is a bit oily & messy, but use a spoon and shes good to go.

My cats hate this

On: 2005-11-09

My semi-longhaired cats hate this stuff so much they actually run away and hide when they get a whiff of this. Not kidding you. One of them actually crawl behind the couch (where I cant get to her) and wont come out for hours when I take this stuff out the cupboard. Needless to say, they absolutely REFUSE to eat it. I have never seen them react to ANYTHING like this. Not even the prospect of having tablets shoved down their little throats ellicit such a reaction from them.
