Vetoquinol Laxatone: Oral Hairball Lubricant Gel for Cats – Tuna-Flavored, 4.25oz

This gel has made my kitty happy and feeling so much better. She has rejoined play time and zoomies have returned as of today. Saved me from a vet bill and IMO saved my cats life as she was declining quickly. Her weight is even returning. She is a rescued Ragdoll and we've only had her several months. I brush her everyday and only started having issues with upchucking her food within 15 minutes of eating the last couple of weeks. It began as once in first week to every other day last week. She was losing weight and was not eating like she used to. I noticed she was losing more hair into the brush and she is a fastidious groomer. I never really saw hair in her vomit but her poops were getting smaller and harder. More pebble like. She was miserable and had an overall malaise. I found out that hairballs don't need to form, that just the hair being swallowed will cause nausea and irritation in the gut causing her to try and get rid of it by regurgitating her food. This is especially true with Ragdolls since they tend to have sensitive tummy's. This lubricant basically grabs the hair and pulls it through the digestive system and lubricates the gut protecting her from further irritation while the hair passes. I started this on Sunday and with the first dose she ate she kept her food down all day. Monday same and was keeping my fingers crossed. Not much change in poops yet. Today 3rd day initial treatment and she chowed down her food and her 2nd BM of the day was a TADA moment. It was bulked up easy to pass and was no longer pebbled. Zoomies return. Her appetite today is awesome and she has not regurgitated her food once since using this. Now I'll cut back to 2x per week for maintenance. She loves the taste and eats it right from a measured teaspoon. It is very sticky but using a spoon instead of fingers makes it easier for her to take it. A little tip that I learned while researching this for hairballs. To avoid nutrition deficiency vet blogs say to not give it with food and to administer 2 hours before or after you feed. Also don't go beyond recommendations since daily use will also block nutrients from being absorbed. I have also added chewable hairball treats to increase her roughage with psyllium and slippery elm which are excellent for healing the gut. Overall I'm tickled with relief and kitty is her old self again. This became an emergency aid and it worked. Thankfully!

Our 14 yr old cat started coughing up hairball and clear fluid all over the house. We were expecting to get bad news when we went to the vet. He recommended this stuff. Our cat laps it up. Just squeeze out an inch of product and the cat eats it right up from the tube. We’re no longer running around cleaning up hairball spots. It’s a little pricey but very effective.

Years ago my Vet told me to purchase this product. It works very well. I don't use it weekly.. I brush my cat every day. When/ if he starts to gag a little I put some on his front paw and tell him "good boy." He licks it off and I give him a treat. He doesn't like the sticky feel on his paw so he licks it off right away. The treat is to inforce that this is a good thing that I did for him.

This worked well for my cat. He was trying to expel a hair ball for several days. After giving him 1/2 teaspoon for 3 consecutive days, he expelled the hairball in his poo. I highly recommend using a small syringe meant for feeding and giving meds to get it into your cat's mouth. It would be nice if it came with one.

I’ve used this product before & it does the trick. I used to place this on my cats paws & he’d lick it off then but now he doesn’t do that. He’s too smart for his own good and won’t even take it treat style. I’ve gotta force feed it to him BUT regardless of that; it works. He loves tuna flavor.

I got this for my one cat that has extreme hairball issues. The vet recommended this this has solved my cats problems. She does not like the taste of it, but I was able to put it on my finger and put it on the side of her mouth and she did take it. She is a bit regular now and it has saved me a lot of money from taking her to the vet and having her cleaned out. I definitely recommend this product.

Our cat is a very long-haired Siberian. Our battle with fur in every corner of the house is never-ending. He sheds like a blizzard. And the hairballs he coughs up are legendary. This product is advertised as helping to "eliminate hairballs." Now maybe it does that with shorter-haired cats, but not with ours. It does seem to help reduce the frequency of the hairballs, but we have been using this for a year now and can confidently say it does not come close to eliminating them. I would add that our cat does not particularly like this gel. I have to spread it on his upper lip and/or front paws in order to get him to take it. He loves tuna, but not really the tuna flavor of this stuff. He's like a little kid who refuses to take his medicine because it's "yucky." So it's a challenge to get him to take it. I am giving it three stars because it works a little bit better than different high-fiber cat foods and treats we have tried. I am guessing that owners of cats with less fur than ours will have more success. If you have a Siberian or other long-haired feline, let me just say that I feel your pain.

This has helped a lot. Our boy has to eat special diet food due to a sensitive stomach. This has decreased his hairballs a lot
