Laxatone or PetroMalt are recommended. If he will allow, try to brush him daily to reduce shedding. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/tomlyn-natural-laxatone-cat-hairball-eliminator https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/sentry-petromalt-malt-flavored-hairball-relief

If Lilly has gone more than 24 hours without eating, she should be seen by the vet. For regular maintenance use, if Lilly has a tendency to get upset stomach from hairballs I recommend using a hairball supplement such as this one: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/tomlyn-natural-laxatone-cat-hairball-eliminator-1340646?cm_mmc=PSH-_-GGL-_-SPP-_-PME-_-PET-_-AQU-_-0-_-PTC_P_SUP_PLA-GG_FY19_SBU04_Cat_Supplements+Remedies_SMRT-_-Product_Listing_Ads-_-Smart_Shopping&kpid=go_6526132049_75197113101_383951179912_pla-709770020843_c&utm_config=tad0iunwp&utm_campaign=PTC_P_SUP_PLA-GG_FY19_SBU04_Cat_Supplements+Remedies_SMRT&utm_source=google&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0aOl6aeR6AIVSrzACh2xjgDAEAQYAiABEgLvL_D_BwE I also recommend brushing Lilly daily so she ingests less hair.

If he likes his current food then you can add in a hair ball medicine like catlax or laxatone. You can give this to him 2-3 times per week. If you don’t feel like you will be able to do that then I would go back to the food you were feeding before since it seemed to help. I like science diet, Royal canin, Iams, and eukanuba which all should have affordable hair all formula options. I hope this helps!

Brushing her may be the missing step in reducing her hairball production. If she will tolerate a shedding tool, use one to get the majority of the loose hair off her and then use a soft brush daily. My cats tolerate a natural bristle brush very well, it's a brush meant for people and they're pretty inexpensive. The more hair you can get off her, the less she'll ingets while grooming. Also, get her a tube of hairball medicine, the most common brand is Petromalt. Most cats like the flavor so it's easy to give, but if she doesn't take it easily wipe a bit on her face or paws so she has to groom it off. This helps move the hair through and out the other end rather than her vomit them up.
