Vetoquinol Laxatone: Oral Hairball Lubricant Gel for Cats – Maple Flavored, 4.25oz 3 Pack

My cat kept gulping dramatically so I knew she had a stubborn hairball. I gave her just a few small dots of this and the gulping stopped almost immediately, then the hairball came the next morning. Hairball only (no food/bile/water). My cat is picky and she liked the maple flavor. I definitely recommend this product!

Warning: discussion of vomit/regurgitation I mainly use this to support my two cats with hairball elimination. Even with brushing, one of them gets hairballs pretty regularly which block her tummy and cause her to vomit her food until after the hairball has been regurgitated. I suspect this is because she ingests more than her share of cat hair, since she not only bathes her tiny self but also her massive adult son. Keeping up with regular brushing and offering a bit of this as a treat to both kitties a couple times a week seems to keep their guts moving smoothly and hairballs at bay. I'm a lifelong user of another brand of similar product, but my cats randomly decided they were tired of that one. Thinking this is also a well-respected brand in veterinary circles, I decided to give it a try and it's a hit for the most part. I was hesitant that cat's have no business with maple, but the scent is very slight so I guess the flavor is also. They find it appealing at least most of the time, although they are occasionally completely disinterested when I'm most eager for them to take it. More specifically, they understandably aren't interested when they don't feel well (ie- if they're already dealing with a hairball or nausea) so in my house it works better as a maintenance rather than a treatment. I store it cap-down and/or massage the tube a little before dispensing it to avoid separated oils, but this product doesn't do that as badly as some brands do.

Smells sweet and the cats love the taste. Works great.

The product was as advertised. Seems to be good quality. The smell is appealing. The thickness makes it easy to use. The problem is my cat is very picky and I have to put it on her paw to use it……but that’s my cat’s finicky self not the product. It seems effective.

Works great for the cats " hairballs".Cats like the taste ,so many remedies they don't like. Price seems high for what this is....3 times more than my toothpaste! Still give it a 5.

We use this to help our rabbits through GI stasis - literally a lifesaver.

My cat loves this. I have less episodes of cat hairball throw ups.

My wife and I raised three children, two adopted and one our own. All were in our care from birth and now have homes, careers, children, and a bright future ahead for them. We were fortunate not to have even a single incident of drug or alcohol abuse with any of our children. Thank you God. A couple of years ago our family dog, a rescue dog from Hurricane Harvey began to have digestive problems and had extreme problems trying to poop. I tried changing her diet, adding oil, water, and other kibble softening additives to aid this normal function. I pleaded wour vet to find a suitable additive to ease the problem. He confided that there was a product that he had had some success with even though it was clearly a “off label” application of the product. He suggested trying Maple flavored Laxatone which apparently was developed for cats for assistance in elimination of hair balls. This product which is readily licked up by cats or in this case my Manchester Terrier has some oils and lubricants that seem to help move things quickly through the digestive system in any direction which quickly makes it a favorite of cats or dogs with these problems. I followed the vet’s instructions. It immediately solved the problem and then revealed another issue. For the first time in my life I now have a family member addicted to Laxatone. Be very careful with this product.

Les gusta el sabor y el efecto se nota

Es la tercera vez que compro este producto con el mismo vendedor, así estoy satisfecha por el servicio ya que llegó en la fecha indicada y también porque le gustó mucho a mi gata el sabor a maple además de que le ayuda a que esté bien en su digestión y no se sature de pelos. GRACIAS.

A mis gatitos les ayuda para sacar las bolas de pelo y además tengo una gatita viejita que su popó es muy dura y este lubricante le ayuda

Recibí el producto mucho antes de lo esperado ese mismo día se lo di a mi gata y le hizo efecto ese mismo noche. El sabor es muy agradable para los gatos. Definitivamente lo volveré a comprar con el mismo proveedor.

Sirve muy bien para mi gatita de 17 años que ya tiene problemas de evacuación, le doy el Medicamento y pocas horas después va al Baño sin problema, lo recomiendo mucho
