Vetoquinol Laxatone Lubricant for Hairballs Tuna Flavored Cat Oral Gel

Wow! I'm so glad I tried this product. I have multiple tubes of others that she would not eat. She gobbles up the tuna flavor of this product. This is an enormous stress buster for me. No more hairballs during shedding season in my long hair cat and no more constipation!!!! If you give too much your cat could get diarrhea, so start low. Keep an eye on the litter box you'll know if you're giving too much if stools become too loose or sticky. I give my 11 lb long-haired cat one and a half inch ribbon on my finger, for the first dose, once a day in between meals. For three or four days after that she gets a 3/4-in ribbon once a day in between meals, while shedding. If she develops loose stools Wow! I'm so glad I tried this product.

I took my cat to the vet after she hadn't done #2 for a few days and showed signs off stomach/abdomen pain. She got x-rays and turns out she was very constipated, with soft stool. I was given Laxatone Maple flavor to feed her. It was hard to get her to eat, but once I got the Tuna flavor - it was much easier. I mixed it in with her wet food, but with the Tuna flavor I was also able to get her to just eat some. After a few days she did pass some stool and was feeling much better. ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR VET FIRST - but this worked for us, AS MY VET RECCOMENDED.

I was given this medication by my vet for my cat last year and was happy to see I could purchase directly from Chewy instead of ordering through my vet again. My cat has no issues eating this and seems to like the flavor and it seems to be working for her hairballs.

My cat gulps her food like it’s been three days (not three hours) since she’s eaten. Then she proceeds to puke it all back up. I’ve decreased the amount of food she gets in one sitting, put a golf ball in her dish to make it harder to take big bites, and give her this once a week. She’s doing wonderfully.

Seems to help, but we also give our cats Vets Best Digestive aide pills so we can't tell for sure. Only 1 of our 3 cats will eat it (the one who needs it the most-long hair), but it takes quite a while to persuade him to eat it.

My older Norwegian Forest cat has to take hypertension and another pill that aids him with bowel movements. So he gets it mixed with the gel that also contains calories and vitamins since he is also on an appetite stimulant. Both seem to work really well and he has been on them for about eight months. He never seems to throw up anymore plus doesn’t seem to mind the malt flavor. Trying to tuna next. What many people don’t realize is also the angle of their pet food dishes. Imagine standing up, bending over and having to eat off of your plate on the counter. It would be hard to get down your esophagus properly and cats with elevated dishes as I have now seen with mine almost completely stop vomiting My older Norwegian Forest cat has to take hypertension and another pill that aids him with bowel movements.

Vet recommended this for my cat. When I called to refill, they did not have it on hand. They couldn't tell me the price or when they would have it in. I looked into CHEWY and they not only had it on hand, they had it to my doorstep within 2 days. Thank you so much.

This item used to be available through veterinarians only. It seems to be gentler than other hairball gels. I also use it for my small dogs when they get a little constipated. (This was suggested by my veterinarian and works well).

Got this for 1 yr old Chip when he started having hairball problems. Tried placing it on the roof of his mouth, per suggestion of vet, so he'd have to eat it. That created a huge battle. Next, I tried squeezing a line of it on a popscicle stick and he immediately started licking it off. His two brothers (who don't experience hairballs) have tried it and also like it. Now they are jealous when Chip gets his daily popscicle stick treatment. It definitely seems to help with hairball control.

The Laxatone is a miracle in a tube...My cat has always had a hard time getting uo the hairballs...watching my pet retching was nit an easy thing for me to watch and is very hard on the animal..untill This produce was recommended to me by her vet..now the process of elemenation of hairballs are no longer an issue
