Do Cats Need Hairball Supplements If They Eat Hairball Control Food?

If you’ve chosen a hairball management food for your cat, you may be wondering whether adding a hairball supplement is necessary, or even safe. The good news? It’s completely safe to feed a hairball food such as Nutrience Care Hairball Control kibble or wet food alongside a Nutrience Care Hairball+ Supplement. In fact, doing so can provide extra support in managing your cat’s hairballs effectively.

How Nutrience Care Hairball Control Food Works

Nutrience Care Hairball Control kibble and wet food are formulated with high-fibre clinically proven ingredients to help move hair through the digestive tract, reducing the risk of hairball formation. These formulas also include:

• Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids to promote healthy skin and coat, reducing excess shedding.
• Bromelain, a pineapple extract to help reduce the formation of hairballs and ease intestinal transit.

For many cats, a diet rich in these nutrients is enough to minimize hairball issues. However, some cats, especially long-haired breeds or those prone to excessive grooming, may benefit from additional support.

Does my Cat Need Hairball Supplements?

Hairball supplements are especially helpful for cats with frequent or severe hairball issues, as they reduce discomfort and support overall well-being. They are particularly beneficial for:

• Cats with frequent or severe hairball issues.
• Long-haired breeds like Maine Coons, Persians, and Ragdolls, who are more prone to hairballs due to their dense coats.
• Cats that groom excessively due to stress or seasonal shedding. Along with supplements, effective grooming techniques can help keep cats more comfortable and hairball-free.

The Role of Nutrience Care Hairball Supplements

The Nutrience Care Hairball+ Supplement is designed to work in tandem with the Nutrience Care Hairball Control food or on its own. These supplements provide:

• Cellulose & psyllium fibre to help eliminate hairballs through stool instead of vomiting.
• Omega-3 fatty acids, DHA, and EPA, are essential nutrients for maintaining a shiny coat and healthy skin and to reduce shedding.

Can I Feed Nutrience Care Hairball+ Supplements with Nutrience Care Hairball Kibble?

Yes! While Nutrience Care Hairball Control kibble and wet food are formulated to be effective on their own, adding the Nutrience Care Hairball+ Supplement won’t lead to excessive or dangerous doses of any active ingredient. Instead, it provides an additional layer of support for cats struggling with hairballs.

If your cat is doing well on a hairball management diet, a supplement may not be necessary. However, for cats that need extra support, adding the Nutrience Care Hairball+ Supplement is a safe and effective way to enhance hairball control.

By choosing Nutrience Care products, you’re providing your cat with a well-rounded approach to hairball management, whether through food, supplements, or both!
