What cat food helps with hairballs, vomiting, and sensitive digestion?

Hello. Thank you for using PetCoach! Great question! I think both of your cats would benefit from this Roayl Canin Indoor hairball diet: ( ) Royal Canin is a very helpful company so if you find that Spuka does not do well on this food I suggest you call them and ask for advice. 1 (800) 592-6687 Hope this helps. Best wishes.

The following food is one of the best for hairball problems: https://www.royalcanin.com/products/royal-canin-feline-health-nutrition-indoor-intense-hairball-34-dry-cat-food/2534 bear in mind the vomiting might be caused by the hyperthyroidism rather than caused by the hairballs.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Muffy! Royal Canine is a great food but it doesn't mean it is perfect for every pet! Hill's Science Diet and Purina are also good food. I would try a sensitive stomach formula in Royal Canin first then switch brands. Be sure to keep in mind that a food allergy is just once cause of vomiting. Other causes are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, hair balls, foreign body, dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis, toxin ingestion or inflammatory bowel disease. I wish you and Muffy the best!

You can try keeping him on a sensitive stomach food such as Iams limited ingredient, Fromm, or Purina sensitive stomach. However, it sounds like Keeko may have a inflammatory bowel disease and really the prescription diets have more reliable results. Also I would keep in mind that sudden switches from one food to the next can cause upset stomach issues in and of themselves. It is recommend to do a slow transition over the course of 7-10 days whenever you are making a food change. Website link on inflammatory bowel disease https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951476 You should at the very least get her examined and open up the conversation with the vet to do baseline bloodowork to rule out anything major and then ask for a prescription diet for Royal Canin Rabbit and Potato or Roylal Canin hydrolyzed protein diet, or HIll's Z/D Ultra to start her on a food trial. This is just 1 test to run so this should be something you could feasible do to at least get him started on something more reliable and effective. If the vomiting does not improve within a few weeks of being on the food, or if he develops any more symptoms, then he should be worked up further (i.e. abdominal x-rays). I hope that your pet Keeko feels better soon and stops vomiting so frequently. Best wishes and take care!

In an otherwise healthy cat that has chronic vomiting episodes, it sounds like Rigby may have a condition called inflammatory bowel disease. This is common in cats and is difficult to diagnose (requires an intestinal biopsy). I would ask the vet to consider this diagnosis and then they can prescribe the correct treatment for it to try and see if he has some improvement with his vomiting. Treatment usually involves a highly digestible prescription diet (or comparable over the counter diet such as California Natural by Natura) and steroids. Here is a website link with more information on IBD in pets. I hope this helps and best wishes at the vet. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=598

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The most common reason for chronic vomiting in cats is a food allergy. I am personally not a fan of grain free diets unless the pet has a proven grain allergy due to the issues with dogs right now and grain free diets (heart disease). This issues hasn't been reported in the cat grain free diets. I have no problem with the Nutro you pictured above IF it solves Greyson's chronic vomiting problem Give him 2-3 months on the diet and if it significantly reduces the vomiting I am fine with it. Good luck

I don't think Royal Canin makes a dedicated fish diet for cats. i'm not sure why you are looking specifically for a fish based diet, if it is because you know for sure that he is doing better on such a diet i would recommend ORIJEN Six Fish Cat Food.
