Cat Laxative by Covetrus is a palatable nutraceutical paste formulated to help prevent and remove hairballs in cats and kittens over six months of age. Cats naturally ingest loose hair during grooming, which may accumulate in the stomach and form hairballs, leading to digestive discomfort, gagging, vomiting, constipation, and loss of appetite.
Cat Laxative contains a blend of natural oils, cereals, and added nutrients that lubricate the digestive tract and facilitate the natural passage of swallowed hair. Regular use, together with frequent grooming, helps minimize hairball formation and supports healthy gastrointestinal function.
