Hairballs in cats – Less vomiting, more comfort
It sounds harmless: a cat occasionally vomiting up a hairball. However, hairballs can cause considerable discomfort. Not only do they lead to gagging and vomiting, but in some cases they even cause blockages or intestinal problems. Long-haired cats and cats that lick their fur a lot are particularly prone to this.
In this collection you will find everything to prevent, resolve and support the digestion of hairballs.
Why do hairballs form?
While grooming, cats swallow loose hairs. Normally, these leave the body via the stool. But when this doesn't go well – due to excessive licking, slow bowel movements or stress – these hairs form a clump: a hairball. This then has to be expelled through the mouth.
Additional risks arise in the following cases:
-
Long-haired breeds such as Maine Coons or Persians
-
Cats that lick excessively due to stress or itching.
-
Older cats with reduced bowel function
-
Seasonal changes (shedding)
What helps against hairballs?
At Fidello.us you'll find products that help prevent and solve hairballs. Such as:
-
Anti-hairball pastes with fibers or oils
-
Hairball food with extra fiber or fatty acids
-
Supplements for bowel movements
-
Snacks to prevent hairballs – tasty and functional.
-
Salmon oil or malt paste – promotes the natural shedding of hair
These products support the natural passage of hair through the intestines, so the body doesn't have to vomit to get rid of the hairball.
Combine care with support from within.
Hairballs often don't occur in isolation. Underlying factors such as itching, stress, or slow bowel movements play a role. Therefore, it's worth taking a broader perspective. Consider also:
-
Combs & brushes – less loose hair, less hairballs
-
Digestion – a properly functioning bowel eliminates it better.
-
Stomach & intestines – hairballs can cause blockages
-
Skin, coat & itching – preventing excessive licking in case of skin irritation
-
Stress, behavior & anxiety – addressing stress-related licking as the cause.
-
Grain-free cat food – easily digestible, less strain on the intestines
-
Cat snacks – functional snacks for support
-
Food for kittens and young cats – supporting them from a young age
Don't give hairballs a chance.
