Vaseline

Kittles, even though a short-haired kitty, has an extremely thick coat. Always has. And, he has always had hairballs!

During an annual checkup at the vet a couple of years ago, I asked what he would recommend to help with hairballs. You can imagine my surprise when he told me one of the oldest ways to help with those hairballs is Vaseline! I would never have thought of that!

I've been giving Kittles a dab a month since then and I have to tell you, it absolutely works. And since most everyone has this all the time, you never have to worry about running out for a special hairball remedy!

Pros: works quickly & efficiently

Cons: I gag when I have to give it to him

This works as well as commercial hair ball remedies, and the cats don't give us any more trouble about taking it. Plus, it can be shared with the household. Fine, multipurpose product

Pros: keeps them lubricated

Cons: none
