This product has been helpful in reducing shedding in 2 of my 3 cats in the Spring when large amounts of fur are shed (I also brush them daily to remove large amounts of fur.) I originally purchased this oil for hairball relief for my 2 y.o.longhair male; it has helped reduce shedding but has not relieved hairball coughing for him. Had to also use a mainstream hairball relief paste along with the product to stop the hairball coughing. I will probably continue to use this product along with the paste as I want them to get the beneficial omega 3 & 6's from it. I give this product to them in their cheekpouch using an eye dropper - my guys will snub their food if anything is added. They seem to tolerate the taste without too much objection.
I was really disappointed by this. My cat (who isn't all that picky) didn't like the taste, so it took some work to get it into her. And the directions say that for acute hairball relief, to give 2 T a day for 2-4 days or until it works. There are only 4 ounces in this bottle, so you can't give it for more than 4 days without shelling out for another bottle. For the price, it ought to work right off the bat. I'm not willing to purchase a second bottle just in case it would have worked by day 5.
I mix it in my cats food. I have tried every thing for hair balls from butter to prescriptions this works. I have a Mainecoon cat .
This is the BEST product for hairballs and it gives them Omega 3 and 6...They LOVE the taste so lick it right from the spoon. A friend of ours had a problem with his cat and we gave him our bottle and she is back to her healthy self again..so now he buys this as well. Thanks for a GREAT product.
