Review: No Regurgation/Hairballs - I chose this product because of the price point and the reviews suggested that my cat may not get sick eating this. My cat has struggled with "regurgitation" frequently in the past. I have tried iams, Blue Buffalo (with decent results), and Tiki Cat. After switching my cat exclusively to wet food, I determined that hairballs were a big part of the problem. Also she eats fast, so I have taken steps to prevent her from swallowing her kibble whole. I have been using this new food for over a month and have ordered my second bag. My cat loves this food! I don't think it's the healthiest with by product for the second ingredient and pea protein for the third. But my cat has not thrown up since starting her on this food. Tldr; My cat loves it and is no longer throwing up.
Review: This food cures the furball problem - My kitty gets furballs when the spring shed starts to happen. I feed regular Nutro cat food to her all the time, and am very pleased with her beautiful coat and she is very healthy, so I want to stay with the Nutro food. I add the fur ball formula over a period of about two weeks- starting with replacing 1/4 of the regular food, going to 1/2 of her serving, and then using 3/4 of her serving as fur ball formula. I usually stay with the 1/4 serving of regular food and 3/4 serving of fur ball formula, and she doesn’t have any more fur balls. I highly recommend this method!! If your kitty has long fur, and you continue to have fur balls, I would suggest using the furball formula alone. I hope you all see the same success that we have here!!

*by B***M on September 3, 2025*

Good nutrition for your cat/cats. I've been feeding this to My Cat's for years. I tried the Hairball one but it didn't help My Cat's with the problem, but I wanted to try it for awhile because one refuses Petramalt which I know does help if they'll use it.
