Vetoquinol Laxatone: Oral Hairball Lubricant Gel for Cats – Tuna-Flavored, 4.25oz (2 Pack)

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!

My cats love the taste and will eat it alone or mixed with wet food. I have noticed a difference in my cats with less hairballs and easier passing when they do have one. Has a gel like texture so can be a little messy. Would definitely recommend if your cat has hairball issues.

This was recommended by my veterinarians office, except the same product was twice as expensive from the vet. One of my cats loves it so much that they come running as soon as I unscrew the top. My other cat doesn’t like the taste, so I just mix it in with wet cat food so that she will eat it. When my cats start to cough up hairballs, I give them this product and the issue resolves that day! Would recommend to anyone with cats, especially those and warm climates who shed a lot.

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.

My cat was making "Furball throwing up sounds" over a couple of days. She's a long-haired Ragdoll, so it made sense that she would have more furballs, however there was no furball, and this had me worried. Since giving it to her, I haven't heard any "more than usual strange noises" from her, and it's worked great! However, she is super fussy and would not eat it unless I managed to sneak it in, detailed below. If your cat is like mine and is a super picky and fussy eater, you have to disguise the smell and texture. What worked for me was: 1. Giving it before meals — Make sure they're hungry, so they're more likely to try it. 2. Putting the Laxatone on a spoon and then putting a Churu cat treat over it — My cat loves Churus. Substitute with your cat's favorite treat. The idea is that when the cat licks the treat, they would also lick the Laxatone with it. Then, when the treat is almost gone, re-apply. This trick worked great for my picky little girl, and I've had no problems getting her to take it!

Cat suddenly had hairball issues. After another 1k in vet and lab bills I was recommended this stuff. As long as I give her a hearty serving of this she has no issue and eats food normally. Before she would throw up and then not eat for 24-48 hours causing her to lose 6 pounds and look like she was starving. This has seemed to fix it and she is slowly gaining weight back…. And man she is so much happier- even though she doesn’t eat it willingly. (I have to use same procedure as pilling her and wipe my finger on her tongue until she licks it all off) wanted to include details to help others going through same thing.

This may work well as a hairball ointment or as a laxative but my cat must be so fecally impacted that it didn't help him at all. I'm taking him to the emergency vet tomorrow but for anyone else wanting to purchase this product I would say it's safer probably to buy it for a hairball issue then try to buy it considering it as a laxative it probably works great as a hairball remover thing but if your animal gets very sick like my mind seems to have gotten this isn't going to help it

My dog self grooms often so I started giving her this to help any ingested hairs pass. She enjoys the taste and I add this to her breakfast daily as a precaution
