Purina Pro Plan Hairball Control Wet Cat Food Pate, Salmon, (24) 3 oz

My cat is a domestic shorthair but somebody made that description up, he seems to be made of hair sometimes when he licks himself clean and a couple of hours later it all comes back in the form of a hairballs and other stuff. It's not pleasant to clean up but it must be a lot more unpleasant for the cat to have to hurl it up. Before getting into specifics, here are a few general thoughts. They say the proof is in the kitty, and the kitty proves it by either eating or turning his nose up at new cat food. Don't ask me why we keep changing brands, to save money I guess. Then one comes along like this that is a lot less money yet comes from an Amazon brand and has better ingredients and we don't have to get in the car and drive to the pet food store at five bucks a gallon for gas. I won't read the list of ingredients to you, its on the label. Whenever you switch brands or even flavors of cat food the experts suggest mixing in a little at a time over about a week to your cat's regular flavor. We don't follow rules, so kitty gets a new flavor wham bang and we stand back and watch to see if he likes it. It's enough to make a car neurotic. This one is a winner. While sometimes he walks away and sometimes he licks up some and leaves some behind, this is one that he licks the plate clean. You can read endless reviews, and of course they are nothing but opinions. We don't know how the food tastes and our cats can't tell us. The only way we know is if they eat it or leave it. But caution, every cat is different and a glowing review from a human about one brand only applies to their cat (on a good day - cats are fickle). What their cat likes your cat might ignore. This isn't a magic cure-all that will eliminate hairballs with one can, it has to be used over a period of time, and this is not one of the more economical brands. My experience is that it is best to use up one case of it for the initial treatment, then move on to a maintenance diet by mixing some of this and some of his/her favorite flavors. You will never eliminate hairballs, unless you can train your cat to drive a car, fix your dinner and stop licking itself forever. But a little in its regular diet will help keep the tummy lubricated and the hairballs coming out the other end, not its mouth. As always my advice is to buy the smallest quantity, try it, and if it's a thumbs, er paws, up from kitty then keep on buying it.

We have a lot of cats and that means a lot of car hair and a lot of hairballs. We serve them one can of this a day, along with leaving hairball dry food out for daily grazing, and it seems to be working well! Haven't had to clean up a coughed up hairball in months!

We started feeding one of our five cats this food. It worked out so well we’ve now feed all five. Quality food!

This cat food is a little dry and sticky for a pate, but my two picky kitties seem to like it. Haven’t seen any hairballs since starting it.

This food has been a game changer for my elderly cats. They both have sensitive stomach and after using this, they have not thrown up

Both picky cats love this food. I am no longer seeing hairballs, it is a little expensive but they eat it all so there is no waste.

my cat eats it and i totally didn’t eat some because I don’t know how well it tastes but it’s now one of my favorite foods because of the taste

It did take time (a couple months) to see the benefit but now any 'incidents' have become very infrequent.
