Q on hairball onitment
I just go to wally world to get it but, my friend told me I should
never use "that crap" and only buy it from the vet Is that true? my guys won't eat it, I have to spread it on my fingers then hold them down and rub on thier front legs that way they have to lick it off...same friend tells she just mixes the stuff she gets from the vet in his food and it all gets eaten Moe & Rudy (brothers, neurtred, indoor) have very long hair, major prob w/hairballs...Moe I can groom & use the fruminator on, even trim his fur when matts start but Rudy you can't groom at all even tried different brushes, luckliy his fur isn't quite as long as Moe's Lynn |

Q on hairball onitment
Were I you, I would not use the Walmart brand stuff, if only because
it comes from an unknown source (made in china, probably). I know that several online suppliers offer higher quality remedies for similar pricing - Laxatone was always a good brand with our kitties and one of our cats would seriously wait by the closet door in order to get the treat every day. I think its malt flavored. Others, of course, wouldn't touch the stuff and we had to smear it on their paws to get them to eat it. My mom uses small quantities of vaseline in much the same way if necessary as well.

Q on hairball onitment
The expensive ointments are nothing but flavored vasoline. I don't use
any of them. I plant oat grass for the cats to nibble on and this seems to control hairballs (and Tiger is a long haired cat). ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Temptations for hairballs works great and the cats love to eat the
little treats. |
