Hairballs are one of the unfortunate parts of your cat’s life, and some pets can really have a problem with them. How can you help your pet manage them a bit better?

Hairballs form when your pet ingests fur and it builds up in her system. This fur typically comes from grooming, and this keeps your pet looking her best. However, there are other ways to do this, and you can help. Consider how often you are brushing your pet now, and think about increasing the frequency if necessary. This will leave behind less shed fur for your pet to lick free from her coat. If necessary, there are also food and treat items that are made to help combat hairballs, so feel free to talk to your cat’s vet about them if you feel the need to. Make a visit to your local Conyers, GA vet for more information.
