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

Hi and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! You may want to try giving them 1-2 tablespoons of plain canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) in their food twice daily. This extra fiber boost can help with hairballs. You can also try the hairball formula from Science Diet which has a higher percentage of fiber in it than other cat foods do to help prevent hairballs. I hope this helps and thanks for posting!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I think that Hill's Science diet indoor/hairball control would be a good option. Meow mix and Kit and Kabboodle are low quality foods comparatively. Sometimes what SEEMS like hairballs is really a food allergy. If the Hill's food doesn't help, be sure to give it 2-3 months, then I would try a non-chicken diet (all fish, venison, beef, lamb or duck). I hope this helps and I wish you, Bug and Chloe the best!

If hairballs are not a problem, you do not have to give them a specific hairball product. A high quality cat food and plenty of fresh water, as well as a healthy environment with some toys and scratching posts or other appropriate places to exercise his claws are all he needs. Thanks for asking Boop by Petco!
