Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Feline Gastrointestinal Hairball is designed to aid in the management of recurrent hairball formation, as well as other conditions requiring an increased dietary fibre content.
Hairballs are a common occurrence in cats, fur is swallowed during the grooming process due to the barbs on your cat’s tongue. Usually this hair will pass through the digestive tract in the faeces, however when large clumps develop they may be regurgitated as a hairball.
Causes of hairballs in cats:
- Increased hair shedding, eg. during springtime
- Skin problems resulting in increased grooming and hair shedding
- Digestive tract issues
- Overgrooming due to stress or anxiety
Management of hairballs in cats involves firstly addressing any underlying causes if possible, such as through brushing the coat during periods of increased shedding, treating any digestive tract problems or skin conditions and reducing stress. In addition, feeding a diet enriched with a blend of specific fibres can help to move any ingested hair through the digestive tract to reduce hairball formation.

It’s unique hairball complex is clinically proven to increase the amount of hair which successfully moves through the digestive tract into the faeces when compared to normal cat food and classical hairball diets.
