Nutri-Vet Hairball Chicken Flavor Paw-Gel for Cats, 3-oz bottle

There seems to be an issue with the new tubes. The packaging didn’t change however the tubes don’t look how they used to. I will attach a picture below. If you have purchased this product before the first thing you will recognize that’s different is the tube is so full of air (very similar when you use helium in a balloon). This is not my first time buying this product. I don’t know how to remove the seal without losing a good amount of gel and having to throw it away. I don’t know why this brand is adding all this air into the bottle and selling it to consumers this way. There is so much product we end up losing that it’s not even worth buying.

Please make it right and bring back the original chicken paw! … more

It is a shame I have to rate this so low because my cat loves this stuff. Multiple times when this has been shipped to me it is shipped with cat litter with no packing protection and has burst open. Most recently when this happened chewy did send me new ones but they were so full of air they burst on their own at the seems and the product inside went bad.

Until recently we have never had a issue with this hairball gel, our girls love this and think of it as a treat. In our most recent order we received this gel and the tube was blown up and it looked like it was getting ready to open up at the seams. We did contact chewy and as usual they did credit our account. And we contacted the manufacturer (877)-729-8668 of this product and we were informed that there is a package issue that is not up to their standards. I can only speak for the chicken flavor, for that is all that we purchase. I can only hope that Chewy is looking at this product in their distribution centers and removing any product where it looks like the product where this tube Until recently we have never had a issue with this hairball gel, our girls love this and think of it as a treat.

When the packaging issues have been resolved we will reorder this product again and would at that time give it 5 stars. … more

My picky kitty loved that gel and I was happy to see it didn't have any petroleum products in it. She only had one dose late last night but I can see (and feel) she is going to do much butter using it. She is a long haired, purebred chinchilla persian with a dollface, 12 years old, and was enduring hairball issues...so I am praying this product will give her relief...I shall send a follow-up review in a week to let you know if we were successful in treatment. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AT CHEWY AND ON THIS PLANET...stay safe during these difficult times.

My cat sheds very badly even though he is a short haired cat. There isn't enough brushing we can do to keep it under control. The summer months and his anxiousness both cause him to shed and its so bad we end up with furry feet of our own from walking around on the floor. Plus the worst part is the throwing up the hair balls. He is shedding much less and has stopped throwing up hairballs. He loves loves the flavor and starts yowing for it the minute he sees the tube and knows I am getting it for him. He doesn't like it put on his own paw so we just put it out on our own finger and let him lick it like a lickable treat. I am going to order the salmon flavor also and hopefully he will like the My cat sheds very badly even though he is a short haired cat. There isn't enough brushing we can do to keep it under control.

Our Mae will only eat the chicken flavor and has since she was a kitten (now 3 yrs old); however, the last 2 tubes we received have been swollen and smell differently. Mae will not go near her plate with this gel on it. Therefore, one star and no recommendation. Please let us know once the manufacturer has resolved whatever issue is going on.

The two tubes that I received were bloated and when I opened one, I noticed that the color was not the same as when I had bought this product earlier. The product was either contaminated or spoiled. I am waiting for a replacement or a refund.

I ordered two tubes, as this is the only brand and flavor my cat will eat. Both tubes were so full of air, they looked ready to burst! I popped one open, and product splattered everywhere. It was an off-color, and didn't smell right. I called Chewy and they promptly sent two more. Same thing. I knew when I picked up the box these tubes were nothing but air. Not sure if the company is blowing these full of air, or if there is bad bacteria causing the packaging to expand to near bursting. Not going to order these again.

I bought two tubes when they finally came back in stock. They felt like they were about to explode they were so pumped up. My cat usually loves this stuff but not this time. There is something wrong with the way they are making these now.

Various hairball treatments have been tried. This is the only one my cats will use without stress. Nutri-vet hairball remedy is highly recommended.
