Hill's Science Diet Hills Science Diet Hairball Control Adult 3.5lb

Pros: It works!
Cons: By-products and it is on the expensive side.

Since adopting Patches (formerly named Peabody in his former life), we have been trying different brands and formulas of cat food. Since Patches is a Persian cat with LONG hair you can imagine that hairballs are sometimes a problem. Patches hasn't been ...

Pros: Brand name, "best when used by" date on bag
Cons: My cats will EAT it, but don't LIKE it, large pieces, expensive, not easily found

When we adopted our first cat from the SPCA we stopped at PetSmart and picked up a variety of items we knew he would need. One was food, but there are so many! How does one choose?

When I picked out Pippen's food I went for something that was...

Pros: Hairball control; our cat likes it.
Cons: N/a

We’ve adopted a cat; a beautiful 2-year-old female with gold and white short hair to be exact. We breezed into Pet-Smart one day and with the intention of adopting a cat after debating the issue for almost a year. My wife was the driving force behind ...

Pros: MANY less hairballs, cats love it, large pieces are good for teeth
Cons: Expensive - but aren't they worth it?

I'm a fan of Hills Science Diet Hairball Adult Formula.

We have two cats, both shorthair rescue kitties, both prone to hairballs. In years past we were dosing them with several different malt hairball treatments purchased at the vet, grocery...

Pros: It cut down on the number of hairballs and it guarantees 100% satisfaction.
Cons: My cat didn't like it.

Recently, we have been having a bit of trouble with our beautiful longhaired cat, Snoopy. Actually the trouble has been there for the past 16 years but it has recently intensified.

The Problem? Snoopy has been vomiting hairballs. Since...

Pros: Really works to prevent hairballs!
Cons: "New and improved" version has less nutrition per can.

Eight years ago, a long-haired stray cat decided to move into my home. I'm sure ya'll know how they do that... Anyway, at her first vet visit, I was advised to feed her Laxatone - essentially a petroleum gel - every day for hairballs or "You'll regret ...

Pros: Aids digestion, Stops most hairballs
Cons: Expensive and hard to find at retail locations

My husband and I have two cats, Max and Tobie. They are old, fat, lazy cats...just what I always wanted!! However, since moving to Los Angeles, they have had terrible problems with hairballs. I'm not certain if it is because the weather out here is...

Pros: Excellent quality, complete food with added fiber.
Cons: Odd shape, corn content, price and availability.

Not a cat owner exists who doesn't dread that awful gaggy-wretching hroooark of a hairball. Most of us will do darn near anything to keep the kitties from getting hairballs and all the joy they bring to the household. We buy exotic, nasty-looking goo...

Pros: effective, nutritious, and our cats seem to enjoy eating it
Cons: cost, availability of certain bag sizes at local retail outlets

I am the proud co-owner of two short-haired hair factories. With the hair inevitably comes hairballs.

To give you all a bit of background, one of our cats sheds significantly more than the other, but it is the cat who sheds less who has...

Pros: Significantly reduced quantity of hairballs
Cons: Cost

First, I would like to give you a little background on myself. I bred cats, Birmans, a beautiful, loving breed of cat, which I highly recommend, for over ten years. Although I am not currently breeding, I still have 10 cats. Over those ten years I...

Pros: Good for the Teeth, Fewer Hairballs, Cat Loves It
Cons: Large Pieces, Expensive, Requires Special Trip to Purchase

At the age of two my Maine Coon developed a severe problem with hairballs. In spite of weekly baths and near daily brushing, it was rare to make it through a day without a hairball incident. At the same time the vet diagnosed her with gingivitis and...

Pros: My cat did eat it.
Cons: Didn't help with the hairball problem

I moved this review to the new category for cat food. It was written on 3/17/00.

This review is in regards to a fairly new cat food made by Science Diet which is the Hair Ball Formula.

I have been feeding my cat, Luna, Science Diet...

Pros: really works to eliminate hairballs; helped with my cats' other digestive problems
Cons: wish it was available at grocery stores as well as pet stores

I have two cats, one of which is fairly long-haired; the other has a delicate stomach. Both cats suffered from hairballs and/or digestive upset (which had not been successfully eliminated, despite numerous visits to the vet) until about a year ago, when...

Pros: A great product
Cons: expensive

I chose this product because it was recommended to me by my vet when I got another kitten. My first kitten would help clean my other kitten. My kitten then began to gag and get sick after he ate. This product was excellent from the beginning and I...

Pros: Works
Cons: expensive

We have one cat that is VERY hairball prone. She usually gave us a gift of the hairball every other day. To anyone who has seen (or stepped in) a green hairball it is a disgusting sight. We tried very hard to find a food that would reduce the amount...
