Benefits

• Clinically Tested Ingredients: Psyllium husk and slippery elm are clinically tested to reduce hairball symptoms by 29% over 14 days, making this one of the few supplement chews with clinical backing.
• Psyllium Husk Moves Hair Through: Psyllium husk is a natural fiber that loosens swallowed hair in the digestive tract and helps move it through toward normal elimination, reducing hairball formation.
• Slippery Elm Soothes the Gut: Slippery elm stimulates mucus production and promotes a smooth passage of swallowed hair through the gut, helping reduce the discomfort caused by hairball buildup.
• Dual-Texture Cats Accept Readily: The crunchy outside and soft creamy center create a multi-texture experience that even selective cats respond to, making daily supplement dosing more consistent.
• Biotin Supports Healthy Coat: Biotin promotes keratin production and supports healthy skin and coat, addressing shedding at the source to reduce how much hair cats swallow during grooming sessions.
• Zinc Supports Normal Shedding: Zinc proteinate helps regulate metabolism and may support normal shedding patterns, reducing the volume of loose hair ingested.

How to Use

Dosage and Administration Instructions   

• Give by weight: Administer one chew per pound of body weight daily; do not exceed the daily recommended amount in any 24-hour period regardless of the cat's size.
• Give daily for best results: Consistent daily use supports steady absorption of active ingredients; some cats take four to six weeks to show full results with regular use.
• Give directly as a treat: The dual-texture format and chicken flavor allow these to be given directly by hand without needing to be hidden in food or crushed.

Additional Information

Precautions   

• Do not remove for water exposure: The collar handles light rain and routine bathing without needing to come off. Just avoid leaving your cat soaking in water for extended periods, as that can wear down the protection faster than normal.
• Inspect monthly: Give the collar a quick look every month. If it's cracked, significantly worn, or not sitting flat against the neck anymore, the active ingredients won't distribute as well as they should.
• Wash hands after handling: Wash your hands with soap and water any time you adjust or handle the collar. It contains active pesticide ingredients and you don't want those transferring to your eyes or skin.

Storage Instructions   

• Cool and dry location: Keep the bag somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sun exposure and heat to maintain the texture and potency of the active ingredients.
• Seal after each use: Close the bag securely after every session to keep air and moisture out, which can degrade the soft creamy center and the fiber-based active ingredients.
• Keep away from children: Store out of reach of children and other pets; these are cat supplement chews not intended for human use or for other animal species.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What causes hairballs in cats?

Ans: Cats ingest loose fur when they groom themselves. Most of it passes through the digestive tract without issue, but when it accumulates faster than it can pass, it compresses into a hairball in the stomach. Long-haired cats and heavy groomers are more prone to hairball formation.

Q2: How do these chews reduce hairballs?

Ans: Psyllium husk is a fiber that loosens swallowed hair in the gut and keeps it moving toward elimination. Slippery elm stimulates mucus production, which makes it easier for that hair to pass through. Apple fiber adds bulk to support regular bowel movements. Biotin and zinc work on the shedding side, healthier coat means less loose hair going in during grooming.

Q3: How long before I see results?

Ans: Some cats respond within a few weeks, while others may take four to six weeks of consistent daily use before showing full results. Consistency matters more than dose size, daily use allows active ingredients to build up over time and deliver the gradual reduction in hairball frequency.

Q4: What is the dual-texture format?

Ans: Each chew has a crunchy outer shell and a soft, creamy center. This multi-texture design was developed specifically because cats can be selective about supplement textures. The combination of a firm exterior and a soft interior gives cats two different textures in a single chew, which improves acceptance among picky cats.

Q5: Can these be given to kittens?

Ans: Only kittens 12 weeks of age and older. Do not give to kittens younger than 12 weeks. If you are unsure of the kitten's age, consult your veterinarian before starting supplementation to confirm it is appropriate for that specific kitten's stage of development and digestive maturity.

Q6: Is the fish oil in these chews from a sustainable source?

Ans: The fish oil in this recipe is sourced from menhaden, a small forage fish commonly used in pet supplement and nutrition products. Menhaden is one of the most widely used fish oil sources in the supplement industry due to its high omega-3 content.
