Methods of preventing and treating cat hair ball disease;

1 First of all, it is the best way to comb the cat's hair frequently, especially in the middle and long-haired cats and the molting season. Of course, short-haired cats should also comb their hair regularly. At least two kinds of brushes should be prepared, one is stainless steel tooth comb and the other is comb brush.

Medium-long-haired cats spend more than ten minutes grooming them every day, while short-haired cats can groom their hair every other day, which can clean up dead hair and some dirty things on cats, prevent cats from licking their hair and fundamentally control the formation of hairballs.

In addition, you can also check your cat's physical condition by grooming. Many minor symptoms, such as skin diseases, can be found in the early stage of grooming. Such an intimate behavior will make your cat know more about your concern for him, thus further cultivating your feelings with your cat.

2. You can plant a tray of cat grass at home (seeds can be bought in pet shops), or often pull out some long-leaf grass from outside for your cat to eat, which can promote the discharge of hair balls. This is an old method, but sometimes it is still very useful.

3. Feed the cat with hair-spitting cream or hair-changing cream regularly, which can also be bought in pet shops. Hair-changing cream can help cats remove hair accumulated in gastrointestinal tract, thus preventing hairball disease. Please follow the instructions or consult a veterinarian.

It should be specially reminded that many components of the sanding cream contain mineral oil, so cats who often take it may cause vitamin A deficiency, so be sure to see its components clearly when taking the sanding cream. If it contains mineral oil, it is necessary to supplement the cat with vitamin A regularly.

4. Feed the cat with textured cat food.

At present, many big brand manufacturers produce this kind of cat food. Some achieve the purpose of hair removal by increasing the content of crude fiber in cat food, and some achieve the purpose of hair removal by adding edible emulsifier to cat food.

However, the ability of cats to digest crude fiber is also poor, so the nutrition of cat food containing more crude fiber is relatively poor. The formula cat food containing edible emulsifier is more suitable for cats, and the effect of hair removal is also very good.

In addition, we can regularly feed our cats some vegetable oil or butter for cooking, which has a certain effect on preventing hairball disease.
