How to Prevent Formation of Hairballs in Cats


Hairball formation in cats is common because of their grooming practices. Here are several steps to lessen the formation of hairballs in your cats.


● Regular brushing removes loose hairs, hence preventing your cat from ingesting them.


● Brushing your cat’s hair regularly using proper grooming tools is helpful even if your cat is a meticulous groomer.


● During periods of heavy shedding, extra brushing is necessary to prevent the formation of hairballs and to prevent cat hairs on your furniture and other surfaces in your home.


● Feed your cat with high-fiber food; it has been proven to aid in the prevention of hairball formation.


● Keep your cats healthy; a healthy cat has healthy skin and hair coat.


● Keep your cat fit and trim. Sufficient mental and physical motivation will improve coordination, balance, and flexibility.


Frequent episodes of vomiting and gagging associated with hairballs should require a visit to your nearest vets Portland OR.
