We have a long hair cat who has problems with hair balls. If you are consistent in giving the cat this it will help with getting the hair balls up. Also you don't have to "cram" it down their little mouths, they actually like the taste

Pros: Cats like the taste

Cons: cost

some of my cats eat it everyday to control hairballs. some of my younger cats don't fancy the taste and shirk away. If it gets stuck on their fur- I use a wet comb to remove it otherwise the fur will become matted. It will cause diarrhea when given repeatedly within same day- just a dab will do ya!

Pros: laxatone dose cause diarrhea in cats if given too much

Cons: sticky on fur

Laxatone has been a staple in our house for years. It not only helps with hairballs, but reduced my older cat's vomiting. It was recommended by the vet when she was throwing up a lot, but it wasn't hairballs. I guess it soothes the throat.

One of my cats loved it so much, we had to hide the tube. It has bite marks on it.

For the cat that doesn't like the taste, I smear it on her hip and she licks it off. She's mad at me, but at least she it eating it

Pros: reduces hairballs and vomiting

Cons: some cats don't like taste

We have used this for hairballs with a few of our foster cats. This product works well and gets the job done.

Pros: great

Cons: none

I have used Laxatone over the years and have been pleased with the results. I use it not only for hairballs but if a cat isn't eating well, only eating canned food, or being forcefed, I make sure they get some Laxatone every day as it seems to help keep their digestive tract moving. I always keep it around as one of the staples in my house.

Pros: Pretty easy to give, effective

Cons: price
