    Hello!

    I am thinking that i read this before somewhere.......but......do you all find that your kitties on 100% wet food have cleaner hairballs? I mean, their hairballs (when they have them) are not as nasty?


    My Chloe had a little hairball the other day and it was so clean :shock: Usually she has messy hairballs----food and hair.

    Sorry to be gross this early in the AM for some of you. Have a great Friday!! :mrgreen:

    Yes. And we found that Oliver have fewer hairballs. (And with a Maine Coon, that is saying something!)

    interesting because until my civvie Bo went on Miralax for other "issues" he had huge, nasty hairballs - all wet food. Moochie eats all dry and yes her hairballs are nasty but since the food often comes up whole the cleanup can be easier ;-) .

    This may all just be anecdotal though because Moochie will not eat wet food so they could be fewer and "cleaner" if she did and Bo hasn't eaten dry since shortly after he came inside so it's hard to say.
