Hairball Paw Gel, Cat Hairball Remedy, Kitten Supplies, Hair Ball Relief for Cats, Fur Ball Remedy, Soybean & Coconut Oil, Salmon Flavor, 3 oz

I gave this to both my cats and the amount of hairballs decreased.

I started giving my cat this gel months ago and he has not had one hairball since then. Prior to giving him this gel, he had them 2 or 3 times a week. My cat loves the chicken flavor too. I would definitely recommend this product.

I've got a girl who scarfs and barfs and it does have hair in the barf most of the time. So I got her this stuff. It stinks and she loves it. I don't even have to put it on her paws. I put it on her dinner plate and she eats it first. I found another use for it. One of my cats absolutely will not let me pill him. Had to go to the vet this morning and tried all the tricks to get him to take the anxiety meds but no go. I decided to try this because he likes it and the odor is so strong I thought he wouldn't smell it. BINGO! He ate both pills happily.

I had a subscription for this stuff for years. I primarily used it for a cat who was slightly constipated, and also needed to be medicated for hyperthyroidism. I would crush up the pill and mix it in with the hairball gel and she would lick it up like I was giving her the best treat in the world. This was the stuff with the white cap. Well, they've apparently changed the formulation, as indicated by the new black cap on the tube, and the stuff is absolutely horrible. It's so dry that you have to practically be a body builder to get it to come out of the tube, and my cat won't eat it. It's a real shame, because the original formulation worked beautifully and was consumed eagerly by my cat. I've cancelled my subscription and will not buy it again. Looking for a better alternative now. UPDATE: I looked around and couldn't find another hairball remedy that wasn't petroleum based, so I took a deep breath and ordered the salmon flavor. Much to my surprise, the salmon flavor was as good as the chicken flavor used to be, so I set up a subscription and the product was just fine. Until today. My first clue was the change in the design of the package. Just like when they changed the chicken variety, the tube itself was now mostly orange and had a black cap. I opened the tube and found that they had ruined this formula, too. Like the chicken variety, the salmon variety is now being made with cheaper ingredients, and is so dry and thick that it is impossible to squeeze the product out of the tube. I am DONE with this company. They had a nice product, and have ruined it with cheap ingredients. I'll keep looking for another alternative. I'm not going to give them another chance. I no longer trust them.

The is a really good product. It keeps my indoor kitty from bringing up a hairball. I just put it on a little dish and she thinks it's a treat.

Our cat had several episodes of throwing up hairballs. We subsequently tried the salmon flavored Nutra Vet hairball gel. It was effective and seemingly without side effects. Our cat likes the flavor and has been licking 1/4 of a teaspoon of it approximately 6 days per week. We have been giving it to Mallory once daily, unless her stool has been soft, in which case we skip a day. I recently investigated the toxicity of benzene, which can be formed when the ingredients of sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) are both included within a product. Both of these ingredients are in this brand of hairball gel. Benzoate acid is naturally found in some foods such as apples, tomatoes, plums, and cinnamon. Sodium benzoate is man-made and is commonly used as a preservative, as it inhibits the growth of potentially harmful bacteria. Sodium benzoate is also used in some cosmetics, medicines, and other products. Reportedly he United States allowable amount of benzene is 5 ppb (parts per billion), with a few US states and with some countries deeming only 1ppb to be safe. Exposure to heat increases potential for production of benzene in greater amounts within the product. We haven't yet decided whether to use the balance of our two tubes of this gel (and to discard the new tube that we just received), or discard them all and switch to another type that does not include both ascorbic acid and sodium benzoate. I am disappointed about not being comfortable with continued use of this product because our cat likes it and it has been effective for her. I would rate this product with 4 or possibly 5 stars, but due to the benzene concerns, reduced my rating to 3 stars. As any benzene within the product could be well below the amount deemed safe, and as this gel has been effective for our cat, it did not seem fair to rate the gel any lower than 3 stars. My opinion is that the makers of this Nutra-Vet Cat hairball gel product should re-formulate their ingredients so that benzene could no longer be generated. UPDATE 12/06/22: We had ceased, but reluctantly began using this product again because it's the only one that our cat likes which effectively reduces her hairballs. There has been a fairly recent formulary change as evidenced by the newer thickness of the product. We contacted Nutri-Vet to ask about the change and received a written response from them informing that the active ingredients remain unchanged, but that they had had to change the source of non-active ingredients, the result being a thicker product. They indicated that they are aware of this and are working on it. We tried microwaving it for a few seconds, but it remains thick. Mallory is able to lick it off of a flat surface (as opposed to a rounded plastic teaspoon -- which had worked with the prior formula). This product continues to include sodium benzoate as an ingredient, thus my rating remains at 3 stars, despite its effectiveness. 12/18/22 A representative from Nutra-Vet called us a few days ago in response to our prior contact-so they both wrote a response and subsequently called to discuss our concerns following our complaint regarding the new thickness of the product. The rep reiterated that they had undergone a content change in Nutri-Vet Hairball Gel due to ingredient sourcing difficulties. Impressive that they cared enough to both respond to our complaint in writing and then to follow up with a telephone call. Great customer service! 06/07/23 Update: We recently purchased the Salmon Nutri-vet paw gel from Amazon and from another source and note that the current items have returned to their original soft quality. Sodium benzoate is still an ingredient. No more harder stuff having to be put on my husband's finger to be licked by the cat. We have returned to squirting it into a 1/4 teaspoon and having Mallory lick it from the spoon. Yeah!!!

I bought it for my Persian Cat and it seems to have worked well !!! Very easy to administer and cat likes the taste/smell !!! Must have for furry buddies !!!

My cat has been given a great start in life, from early vet visits to quality kitten food to give her the best start in life. (lots of Hooman love too) So when it came to a hairball treatment, we picked this brand, "Nuti•Vet", because of the choice of Ingredients and flavour options. We first tried Chicken as that is one of her and her brothers favourite flavors, but she would not have anything to do with it. Her brother loved the chicken buy the way. Our vet was kind enough to let us try other brands they use, to see if she would react favorably, but LeSalon, Sentry, Hartz and Tomlyn did not interest her in any way. Then we ordered the Salmon flavor hoping it would maybe interest her through smell, and she instantly licked the paste from the tube. Happy she enjoys this one, better for her and safe on her system. If you have a finicky eater, that does like Salmon, this could be the perfect choice for you. Check out the ingredients in the other brands, non are as good as this one overall. It's the best choice in our eyes, hope it's yours for your fur baby.

Nutri-vet pour les boules de poils saveur saumon, mon chat n aime pas beaucoup la saveur, mais en lui mettant sur sa patte il le liche et ceci l empêche de vomir des boules de poils.

Cats love this and it works for mild hairball issues. Not for heavier hairball issues though

Wasted my money. My cat hates it . Very thick paste, doesn't smell great.
