What is Hairball Gold?
Hairball Gold is a natural liquid intended to help your feline manage hairballs. Plant-based ingredients high in mucilage content (naturally viscous) are combined with other herbs that assist normal elimination through the bowels and help the stomach feel comfortable. All botanical materials are extracted into a healthy medium chain triglyceride oil, a product shown to be beneficial for general health in humans and animals.
What is Hairball Gold used for?
Felines routinely have to manage the hair they ingest. Their careful grooming results in the consumption of hair that passes through the digestive tract and gets excreted in the stool.
Hair is not a substance that can be broken down and digested. If enough hair collects in the GI tract and there is inadequate moisture and lubrication to help it pass through, your cat may attempt to vomit or heave up the offending mass. If the mass only partially travels through the digestive tract, it can cause an obstruction. This is very uncomfortable for the cat and can have serious implications if the mass does not eventually pass through. The cat may also heave or retch for long periods of time in attempts to dislodge the hairball.
