FAQs

Q: How does this food help with hairballs?

A: It features a specific blend of dietary fibres (including psyllium) that helps move swallowed hair naturally through the digestive tract so it can be passed safely in the stool, rather than building up in the stomach.

Q: Can I feed this to my cat long-term?

A: Yes, for cats prone to recurrent hairball formation, long-term use is often recommended. However, you should always consult your vet to ensure it remains the right choice for your pet.

Q: Is this suitable for all cats with digestive issues?

A: While it is great for hairballs and conditions needing higher fibre, it may not suit all gastrointestinal conditions. For instance, if your cat experiences constipation, Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Fibre Response might be suggested by your vet instead.
