Home Cures For Your Cat's Hairballs
Chicken of the Sea Sardines
To thwart hairballs, feed your cat one Chicken of the Sea Sardine each month.
Chicken of the Sea Tuna
When you open a can of Chicken of the Sea Tuna packed in oil, drain out some of the oil over your cat's food.
The oil lubricates your cat's digestive tract, averting hairballs.
Hain Safflower Oil
To prevent hairballs and lubricate your cat's innards, occasionally mix one teaspoon of Hain Safflower Oil into your cat's food (unless your cat is obese.)
Huggies Baby Wipes
After grooming your cat to remove shedding hair that she might otherwise swallow, wipe down your cat's coat with a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free Huggies Baby Wipe to remove any loose hairs.
Land O Lakes Butter
To stop a cat from expelling hairballs, add one-half to one teaspoon Land O Lakes Butter to the cat's food once a day for a week.
The butter helps push the fur through the cat's digestive system, preventing hairballs from forming. The butter also makes the gallbladder contract and empty bile, a mild laxative, into the cat's digestive tract, speeding hairballs through the cat's inner workings.
Libby's Pumpkin
To help hairballs pass through your cat's system, mix one or two tablespoons Libby's Canned Pumpkin to your pet's food each day. The natural fiber in pumpkin keeps your cat regular.
