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!

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.

If you've never used Laxatone, and you have cats of any hair length, this is a great product to prevent hair balls. If you have a long-haired cat, this is a necessity. I've been using Laxatone for decades (first recommended by my veterinarian), and depending on the cats self-cleaning habits (some cats bathe themselves almost consistently), and hair length, the frequency varies. Since I have a long hair cat, I use it every other day; however, the other cats (short hair) also like the taste of it, and I'll give them a little bit, too. No harm done. The dose is about the size of a pea, so it should be awhile before having to buy another. The directions say to put it on their nose or paw, but in my experience, that just leads to it being flung onto the linens, walls, floors, ect. Most cats don't like their paws or nose messed with. I've found that putting it on the cap, and letting them lick it off is best for all parties involved. I recommend storing the tube upside-down. It's a sticky, thick gel (like thick honey), and when I've stored it right side up, it starts oozing out the moment the cap is removed. Laxatone washes off you with basic soap and water. I've never noticed a smell, but my cats do, and they love it. It must be a mild tuna taste, because even my one cat, who won't eat fish flavored food, wants it. I highly recommend Laxatone for every cat loving home...Or, you can keep cleaning up hacked hair balls, your choice.

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.
