Tomlyn Laxatone Hairball Remedy Chicken Flavor Cat Chews, 60 count

Was a bit concerned that the cat wouldn't like these soft chunky triangular shapes vs his normal hard crunchies. But, he does. This is a 20lb bruiser. These are soft and firm but will crumble if you press on them too hard (trying to put in a toy or use as a pill pocket). It does seem that he's been throwing up less since we started on a 2/day treat. Never had big hairballs, but he seems not tolerant of the smaller "balls" --- which one would think might pass thru his system but he was hoiking up every two days. Has a beef-like smell (like a bullion cube). And his nose does a lot of twitching when one is about to be offered. His paw reaches for an attempt to grab it.

I bought this based on reviews and was hopeful as I have a cat who is occasionally going outside of her litter box. I have spent thousands of dollars between vet appointments, testing, new litter, new boxes new calming everything. Our last appointment uncovered that she was constipated and that I should try these treats along with anxiety treats before going toward a prescription medicine. Unfortunately my cat is not interested in these treats and will not eat them at all. I will say that she is very very picky when it comes to food and treats so I'm not surprised. I can't rate this product negatively because I literally have no idea if it would even help my cat.

My 15 year old cat has been struggling with hair balls and her grooming has not decreased a lot since she has been aging. Matted in spots, flaky, course fur has become her norm. She has always had a beautiful shiny coat. We are not even through this first bag and her her coat is markedly improved. Her hairball gifts have all but disappeared and she actually really loves her daily treat (very picky eater). Absolutely great product.

Initially, the three kitties to whom I've been giving these weren't altogether thrilled with them... but the Tomlyn treats seem to be growing on them, and they seem to be working. Two of these kitties are longhairs and really need something that curbs those hairballs. We're using these along with the Greenies Smartbite treats and are seeing a happier crew since we began this regimen. One of our cats, who used to be a good eater, had had a very small appetite over a period of months -- I'm attributing this to hairballs -- and now is gobbling down his food with every meal (with no significant change in menu).

I'm not giving it 1 star, because I have no idea if these are an effective hairball remedy... because my kitty won't eat them! Guess he can tell they're medicine. They're also quite large.

I've been using the gel type remedy, but this is SO much easier and my cat really likes it. They're soft enough to crumble over his food as well to encourage his eating.

I got these for my medium hair 10lb cat who grooms a lot. I followed the instructions and gave her one chew a day. She would vomit shortly after or an hour after giving her this treat. She gobbled it up and seemed to like the flavor, but it wasn't sitting well with her. May work better if given with a Hairball Control Diet. She's doing great with Greenies Hairball Control treats now and Hill's Hairball Control Dry 7+/Canned.

I have 4 cats and they all seem to hairball issues within 3 days of giving these to the cats I see a difference, the hairballs are minimal now and after 7 days I have not seen any of them having problems, getting ready to order more, so happy with this product. Since all my cats are on prescribed urinary food I checked with the vet first and they said this product was fine for them. Also, my cats are all 12 years old

One kitty will not lick the gel off my finger and was hard to get her to take it. I am trying the chews and she eats them like a treat. I'm waiting to see how she does with fur balls now. After a week, only 1 small episode. My other kitty laps the gel off my finger, no problem. So far, so good!!!

My kitty won't even consider eating Laxatone from the tube even using all the usual tricks (she's actually learned to identify the tube and runs when she even sees), but she LOVES these treats! Highly recommended for discriminating kitties.
