How they help your pet

• WHAT IS A HAIRBALL?

  Hairballs happen when your cat ingests fur while they’re grooming themselves. If you’ve ever been licked by a cat, you’ll know how scratchy that tongue is! It’s covered in many small spines (the technical term is papillae) that essentially function as hooks. So the tongue can lift dead or loose fur when your puss is having a grooming sesh. 

  You might eventually see this fur again…in their litter tray. However, if your cat ingests too much floof which can’t be digested, regurgitating is the only way to shift it. 

• SIGNS YOUR CAT HAS HAIRBALLS

  Wondering if your puss is having problems with hairballs? Here are some telling signs to watch out for: 

  • Frequent vomiting, gagging, retching, or hacking (even if they don’t produce a hairball at the end)

  • Loss of appetite

  • Lethargy

  • Constipation

  • Diarrhoea

• HOW TO SPOT A HAIRBALL

  While the word ‘hairball’ might sound fluffy, in reality, they’re anything but. Hairballs look like mucus-covered, thick matts of hair and despite the name, they’re not round. In fact, they’re more likely to be tubular in shape. Feeling nauseous yet?

  After a bout of gagging, retching or hacking, you might see your cat spit up a hairball. Or you might come across one wherever your puss has been hanging out (cat: “Here’s one I made earlier…”). 

• HOW ITCH HAIRBALL TREATS HELP TO PREVENT HAIRBALLS
