Food for Managing Hairballs

Published 28th Mar 2020

Your cats’ natural instinct to preen and groom means they swallow lots of hair. Small amounts will pass through the digestive system, but if a lot of hair is swallowed, it can become entangled in the stomach and form a ball. This hairball is then vomited from the cat.

Choosing a food specifically designed for hairball control, combined with a regular brushing schedule, can help move hair through your cat’s stomach and into the litter tray.

A good hairball control food will have:

  • High fibre and an oilier texture, to move hair through the intestines easily
  • Fatty acids to promote a healthy skin and coat, and prevent hair loss
  • Balanced nutrition to prevent hairballs forming in the stomach
