Breed Insights – Hair today … hairball tomorrow

Most cats spend a considerable amount of time grooming their coats. As they do so, the hair is swallowed and may build up over time in their stomachs. If the hairball doesn’t pass from the stomach, the cat will attempt to eliminate it by coughing or gagging. However, for senior cats, hairballs can be more troublesome than for their younger feline companions.

Reduce the Likelihood of Hairballs

Because of a lower fat digestibility, an aging cat’s metabolism may result in lower energy levels and an increase in hairballs. Help reduce the discomfort of hairballs for your senior cat with Eukanuba’s Adult Hairball Relief Formula. It’s a diet rich in omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids that promote healthy skin and coat, plus beet pulp and cellulose fiber for improved digestive abilities. The unique Eukanuba Fiber Scienceâ„¢ Hairball Relief System helps hair gently pass through the digestive system to avoid hair buildup.

Also, frequent brushing can help reduce the amount of hair that is ingested, thereby reducing the risk of hairball formation.

Should a Hairball Care Formula Be Fed Exclusively?

Yes. Mixing other foods with hairball management formulas may compromise the effectiveness of this diet by diluting the nutrients that help reduce the risk of hairball formation. Switching between hairball management formulas and another cat food may also decrease the benefit of feeding this diet.
