Nutri-Vet Hairball Paw-Gel for Cats, Chicken Flavor, 3-Ounce

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.

My cats really do love this gel. I'm not sure how well it works for hairballs, but since it has no petroleum jelly I think it's worth trying. I have 2 DMH hair cats & a DSH. My DSH has hairballs that he's struggling to cough up, so I wanted to try this gel. It is a nice consistency, doesn't smell awful bad & my cats enjoy eating it so there's no mess in applying it to their fur. *UPDATE* April 12, 2015 I wanted to write an update to say this stuff does work. One of my cats has been coughing, but not able to produce a hairball--but when he eats this stuff he doesn't cough as bad & a hairball actually came up! The other cat has been 'passing' hair, which I am at least glad it is coming out. My cats are happier & eat this stuff right out of the tube! It's a great way to get cats to groom each other too! *UPDATE* November 15, 2015 Here is my updated review. So far I have 3 cats who I use this on. It's more of a touch & go, literally. I have to put a drop on the paw before my cat runs off acting like I touched him with something disgusting... The other cat does enjoy the Salmon flavor & I have no problems getting him to lick it right out of the tube. My cat still struggles with hairballs occasionally. I so much prefer this one over the petroleum version, simply because it seems more natural to me than petroleum. I do have the petroleum version as well, because the vet recommended it, although I am on the fence so to speak about using it as often as I would this one.

My cat likes it.

It’s the only cat ball paste my cat likes. It’s like a thick wet food not a molasses paste. Although this kind is hard to find.

All of our 4 kitties are rescues. One super fluffy kitty is shy & struggles with stress grooming & gets huge hair balls. She was lethargic, not eating well, hiding, looking vacant in the eyes like not feeling well (has kidney disease). She’s got medium fur length, but sheds. I ordered this & Cat-Lax, & all 4 kitties LOVED this, stalked me like CRAZY when I pick up tube! Her belly had gotten very distended & tight, I was worried about her developing a serious hair ball obstruction vs kidney problems & ordered this to try to get things moving. I gave her 3-4 little doses a dayspread out, & over a few days she kept lapping it up more. Soon she was starting to eat food more, her belly distention decreased massively & she lost about half a pound (only 9lb cat). She perked up & even came out of hiding! She’s a senior kitty, & had I just assumed she was getting older, we could’ve been in trouble. I highly recommend for any cat with fur! ESPECIALLY stress groomers, anxious kitties, long haired: frequent shedders. Not one of the kitties liked the salmon oil I tried on them, in fact even the kitten tried to “cover it” like it was poop! Doing Subscribe & save this one for sure!! Update 4/3/20- Tried to reorder to sneak in nitenpyram flea powder, it’s great for that! this is STILL the #1 favorite in 4/4 cats. I’ve given them different brands- malt, salmon, regular. Twice recently I gave it as cold weather’s gone and shedding comes in spring and summer more, and couple hours after, 2 cats puked up super large fur balls, one was extremely compacted. Both of them picked up on eating, energy and playfulness within hours after- more tummy room means better appetite, better energy!!
