I bought this when a different brand's consistency changes. The cat having the hairball issues will not eat this. The other cat isn't very crazy about it and did not consume much of it. Another disappointment.

We had some catlax from the vet that my cat really enjoyed, but she doesn't seem to like this one as much. She's also very particular and may need time to adjust to the change. Personally, I like that the cap is easy to keep clean.

medium/long hair cat had trouble passing hairballs and this has been a huge help! He used to have coughing fits and doesn’t anymore. I give every other day. I just squeeze on my finger and wipe on his mouth and he licks it off. I think he likes it because he meows when he sees me get the bottle now and waits for it.

I squeezed some onto my finger, and my cat looked at me like I was poisoning him. Bless him. He still licked it off my fingers, but he would only take a little bit (less than the amount necessary to be effective). I'll have to try something different.

This was recommended by my vet to help with hairballs, and it works well, as far as I can tell. It also helps when the cat’s stool is a bit dry, especially with my elderly cat. They both love it, it’s like a treat for them, so it makes it very easy to give to them. They like the maple flavor okay, but the tuna flavor is the favorite. It’s definitely very sticky, so I put it in a bowl or let them lick it from the tube. I definitely recommend this to help with hair balls.

It helps relieve struggle with hairballs but is very sticky much like molasses. Doesn't smell great but I did expect it because of the tuna flavoring. It is difficult to administer though because it's sticky. My cat isn't a fan of the flavor but it works

I have a long haired cat who in the past has had issues with hairballs. This product is great because she loves the flavor and it works well. Keeping hairballs controlled. I even use it on my two short-haired cats. I have bought both flavors and they like them both

We have a med/long-haired cat that has problems with hairballs. We have tried so many different products, and this is the only one that helps. If we are consistent about giving this to her (daily), she only produces a hairball every 1-2 weeks, as opposed to every few days. Unfortunately, she won't take the gel alone--we need to mix it into a churu. But I'm glad we have found something to help her out.

Helps with hairballs

Does as it says and helps keep hairballs away. My cat also loves the taste so I have no problem getting him to eat it.

Sorry to say, but when distributing meds to our rescue cats, they are not like those perfect kitty pictures on the directions. I appreciate this product because many of our kitties like the taste. I do not have to don my coat and gloves to administer.
