For Cats, give 0.5 - 1.5 inch ribbon of ointment daily for 2 to 3 days, then 0.5 - 1.0 inch ribbon 2–3 times a week. For Dogs, give 0.5 to 2 inch ribbon 2 to 3 times weekly.

Lax-aire (LA) is excellent. It works on hairballs and cats love the taste. Prior to finding LA, I'd never found a hairball medicine a cat would willfully eat. Now, I have to hide the LA tube or my cat will try to bite through the tube. I've gifted LA to two friends and their cats also believe it is candy and readily eat it off their fingers.

Had to take my cat to the animal hospital twice for severe constipation. They gave me prescriptions, which works some, but once I gave him the Lax-Aire, it really made a difference. He’s going regularly and the stools are softer, which is exactly what was needed. The prescriptions didn’t seem to do as good of a job. He doesn’t necessarily like taking it, but he’s feeling better and not constipated anymore. I’m happy I purchased this.

Lucy Lu loves the taste and has helped her

As picky as my cats are, Lucy Lu actually loves the taste and has helped her kitty litters tremendously. She is so thankful I found this for her.

More of a Treat

My older cat loves this like candy. She struggles with hair balls and just a dime of it daily or bi-daily keeps her happy. I have less puke spots and less hacking

Saved my cats life

While very sick my cat wasn’t using the restroom. This helped within hours and his fever then started going down. He’s 11.

My cats love the taste

I have 2 senior cats who need a little help to stay "regular". This definitely helps. It is great that they both love the taste too. They think it is a treat.
