Naturally Preventing Cat Hairballs

"What can I do to prevent hairballs?"

If your cat has frequent hairballs, there is a simple and healthful remedy to reduce this occurance. We recommend the following supplements for your cat:

Summary

Digestive enzymes will help your cat to pass through undigested food which attaches to fur in the digestive tract. Further, by offering digestive support for your cat, this reduction in stress on the body will reduce excessive shedding which leads to hairballs. Use Enzyme Miracle®.

WHAT ARE HAIRBALLS?

Cat hairballs are a common problem. Cat fur is fine and has a greater tendency to shed; this combined with a cat's constant cleaning and licking of the fur causes the fur to pass into the cat's digestive tract where the hair will attach to food and form a hairball.

When it comes to cat hairballs, a cat will sometimes cough the hairball back up, but sometimes the hairball can get trapped in the digestive tract.

WHY DO CATS GET HAIRBALLS?

  1. Cats have fine fur that loosens easily
  2. Cats groom themselves and lick up loose fur which gets trapped around food and in the digestive tract

Domestic cats are more susceptible to vomitting up hairballs because they generally are not exposed to a natural environment. In the wild, cat hair thickens and sheds with related weather conditions and falls off on its own instead of requiring more assistance from the cat through licking.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE A HAIRBALL PROBLEM

  1. Vomiting cat, cat vomit has hairball mixed with food
  2. Hairball is attached to cat's stool
  3. Cat tries to eat grass to relieve stress from hairball

Can cat hairballs be prevented? The unsightly action of seeing your cat vomit up a hairball or seeing your cat in distress is distressing to cat owners. Many cat owners want to know how to naturally reduce the occurance of hairballs in cats.

Luckily, there is a simple solution for cat hairballs. Although there are no guarantees to completely be able to stop cat hairballs, hairballs can certainly be reduced drastically. Follow these steps to reduce hairballs from forming in your cat:

HOW TO HELP YOUR CAT AVOID HAIRBALLS
