Hairball Cat Food
You may think that hairballs are just part of being a cat parent, but there are ways to help minimize this not-so-fun occurrence. Grooming your kitty regularly, discouraging them from overgrooming themselves and feeding them a hairball control cat food can all help inhibit hairballs from forming.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
In conjunction with regular brushings and grooming, a hairball control cat food can be a great way to help keep your kitty from getting dreaded hairballs. Hairball cat food formulas contain high amounts of fiber to help push contents—including hair—through your pet’s intestinal tract. The foods also contain enzymes to help prevent the hairballs from forming.
Feeding your cat these special formulations may help keep the hair moving through their system and reduce the need for them to hack up the hairball on their own.
-
When picking a cat food for hairballs, keep an eye on the fiber content of the formulations. In dry foods, the crude fiber percentage should be around 8 to10%, while canned foods can be in the 2 to 4% range. Make sure the option you select still meets all your pet’s overall nutritional needs and is an all-around wholesome food choice. The best cat foods for hairballs should still provide a good source of protein and other important ingredients like Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.
-
Wet food can help with the passing of your kitty’s hair because it’s made to be easier to digest than some other food types. Because it digests so quickly, it doesn’t allow the hair to clump and form a ball. This means cats that eat canned wet food may naturally have fewer hairballs than those that eat dry food.

My cat has been having more hairballs than usual and I think it might be because I changed his food which used to be a hairball control food. He's been having hairballs every week, not sure if that's normal for a short haired cat. Anyway, I wanted to buy a hairball control formula or medicine but I want one that is good and not too expensive. Thank you.

My cat coughs up hairballs a few times a week and sometimes vomits undigested food after eating. He eats very quickly so I'm wondering if that's what could be causing the regurgitation. I feed him Royal Canin and Tiki Cat wet food in the morning and a mixture of Solid Gold wet food and Royal Canin dry food in the evening. He uses the litter box with no issues and drinks plenty of water. Is there any supplement I can give him or food that will help?
