Dechra Cat Lax: Natural Hairball Remedy for Cats

Okie M: I like this product because my cat will actually lick it off my finger versus other products I've used for hairballs. Cat approved and that's what matters to me!!

Angela J: Easy to use because my cats love the flavor. it looks unpleasant to me but my cats beg for it so it’s simple to get them to take it. This product comes in a squeeze tube like toothpaste. It helps hairballs move easily through my kitty’s system. It was a great value. Tube was a good size for the price paid. Much easier cheaper here than at the vet’s office. I recommend this product for any kitty that struggles in the litter box or has trouble with hairballs. Two thumbs up

John S.: We have tried various products on our cats down through the years to help with hair balls. This is the only one where the cat will lick it up with enthusiasm. Other makers of oral pet products don't always make them tasty.

jdawn: My kitty doesn't have hairball issues hardly ever but recently she had a few days where she was throwing up while trying to cough up the hairballs. She didn't have an appetite. I was concerned so I researched a lot and found that based on her symptoms, it was just hairballs and nothing serious. Of course that could be wrong and I was going to take her to the vet if Cat Lax didn't improve her. I gave her the recommended dosage and it worked that day! She hated the taste but I had rubbed it on her paw like some suggested and she ended up licking it all off. She acted like she did not like the flavor but you know cats like to be clean so she licked it off anyway. Within one day her appetite began returning and the vomiting stopped! It did give her diarrhea several times but it stopped by the next day. It is recommended that you give your kitty Cat Lax 2-3 times a week for preventing hairballs but I would suggest only smearing a little bit on your pet's paw instead of the 1 inch dosage that is in the instructions. Every pet is different so your pet may not react as mine did but my kitty is sensitive anyway! I think the 1 inch dosage which I gave her, really helped to clear her out...

S Goryan: As a cat lover and owner of many generations for over 5 decades, all the cats I've owned ALWAYS loved the hairball stuff in the tubes that is, up until the last 2.5 or more decades. I don't know why anyone thought to 'improve' or mess with what worked, but EVERY cat I've had in the last 25 or 30 years has hated hairball treatments that are either flavored or not flavored.

I heard this particular name, 'Cat Lax' mentioned on a TV vet show, so decided to try it immediately, even bought 2 tubes.I am SO GLAD I bought 2 tubes!

It's three weeks later and including today, I have had good success with THIS product. Whether I smear a small amount on a sleeping cat's front leg, or hold a cat down to apply to the front leg & paw, NONE of them has gone running wildly off acting like I gave them poison or set them on fire.
Mind you, they probably still think it's the old stuff, so I still have to be sure I have a hold of them if they are wide awake, in order to get it fully smeared on the paw, but today, 1 of my 3 young cats actually licked it from the tube and wanted more. THIS, IS the IDEAL way to give hairball medicine, in my opinion, and I was shocked and very happy....
