I have a beautiful Maine Coon named Sissy and she is 11 years old and she gets a lot of hairballs b/c of her long hair. I have tried hairball remedies from the pet store and they have not worked. Does anyone know of any natural therapies that may work?

Keep aware of your pet's health. Get in the habit of giving him or her a routine exam regularly so that you can notice any abnormal problems and take the correct action before they become serious and difficult to treat. If you do have to start treating your pet, choose natural and herbal remedies to make sure you are choosing a gentle approach to your pet's condition. Minimize the utilization of strong medicinal drugs that could cause major side effects long term.
Natural dog remedies are easy to find all over the internet but it is always hard to know what remedy is best to buy.

hairball control food

Try brushing the cat a lot, the loose fur the cat lips up creates the hairballs

Don’t feed your cat a lot of scraps and give it the hairball control food. It is purina and the green sack.

One of the best ways to prevent or reduce hairballs is to brush your cat on a regular basis. Brushing your kitty will not only be a pleasant experience for him or her, but also it will be a nice bonding opportunity.
Since you will be removing the extra loose hairs your cat will ingest less hair during her grooming sessions, and this in turn will lower the chances of hairball buildup.

This isn’t nothing unusual about long haired animals like this. Recommended thing to do is buy Hair Ball Control food products to help with the ease of hair balls but it wont get rid of em just makes it easy for you cat to get rid of em….. then easy for you to dispose of em, not really lol though but it makes it easy on your cat.

I know everyone tell you to check with the vet … but honestly, call your vet on the phone and just ask what he suggests. My long haired kitty has constipation problems due to lack of water intake and hairballs so he suggested something for me. Based on what was going on with my kitty he told me to come get a tube of ” cat lax ” from him … and give it to her a few time a week. It helps her pass the hairballs through. Your vet will know what is best for you, based on any problems your cat is having.
Good luck to you!

DO NOT BUY HAIR BALL CONTROL CAT FOOD! It is full of crap-corn, soy, wheat-nothing a cat should eat!
Switch your cat to a grain free wet cat food. Wellness, Innova EVO and Fancy Feast have grain free varieties. Visit this site for info on feeding your cat:
Brush your cat regularly and use Laxatone hairball remedy. You will probably have to give it to her at least 3 times per week, with additional amounts if she hacks up a hairball.
My sister has a Maine Coon, and she has had him groomed and his coat shaved down to help with this.
Switching to wet food should help a lot, as it really helps the digestive process.
You will never be able to stop the hairballs completely, but you can cut down on them.
Good luck!

canned pumpkin or squash (no spice) – at least a tablespoon a day. I know a 10 year old LH that has *never* had a hairball because of his night time treat of pumpkin or “squashies”
If they eat too much it looks like orange crayons in the litter box. Lots of fiber, lots of vitamins.

do what ever you can take it to the vet!

butter, plain and simple real butter, not veg oil (like country crock) just take a little and rub on her paws so she’ll lick it off, or mine likes it melted in a bowl to lick. About 1 tablespoon once per weeks should help the fur balls problem

With three Persians, I second the pumpkin, and COMBING daily. Not brushing, COMB. Hairball control is fiber. They get used to being combed and like it, as much as getting them used to it may be a wrestling match. They get treats of tuna and catnip for combing as well. Cats have two coats of hair both top and undercoat. Brushes usually only brush the top coat. Combs remove the “dead hair” from the undercoat, so your cat doesn’t have to eat it. You will notice Sissy is much more comfortable with combed out hair free of mats as well. You see, mats pull on their skin, feeling like someone pulling their hair. Petting where the mats grow hurts them, so they don’t like being pet when and where they have mats. Wooden handle combs work best. Remember to comb the belly and yep, the caboose. You can shave her and start over. Any long haired cat owner should own shavers for those lovely dung berries. Btw, if dung or urine becomes trapped in mats, she could get a skin infection. Eating them doesn’t help her digestive system any as well.
