Thread: Fur balls and yet more fur balls!

Hi Claire,by brushing everday you could be making things worse as you will have more loose hair all the time & in fact making it a lot easier to ingest them,daughters cat was like that until she reduced the grooming,now she dreads brush time because most times fur balls follow in a couple of days but nothing like they used to.This is a bad time at the moment though,I average about six weeks before one leaves a gift then you know most of the others will follow on all except Merlyn who up to now has never had a fur ball{talked that one up no doubt} I tried the RC Intense Hairball when we had a bad period but it didn't really seem to make much difference even though they had it everyday for nearly three months I now give them RC Hair & Skin & the weird thing is since they have been on that they haven't been so bad & the furballs they do bring up are really well formed,They don't have much of the kibble because mine are mostly wet food fed & it goes on their menu about every third feed as I alternate between other dried foods,but.....! I used to feed the MC kibble but found a couple had upset tums after a while & Merl piled the weight on so now give them Hills Dental to give them the larger kibble to crunch on,I don't think there was anything in it to particularly to help with the furball situation.
What a super topic,no doubt you will hear of some great remedies & I will watch with interest to see if I can get a longer than 6wk period !
