What wet food can help my cat with hairball vomiting and thyroid meds?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 14 years and 7 months old | 5 lbs

Hi my cat has always suffered vomiting with hairballs. She is now on medicine for hypothyroidism and it has got worse. She is vomiting every day - always with hair in it. What wet food can I give her that will help as she doesn't really eat biscuits. Many thanks Joy x

The following food is one of the best for hairball problems: https://www.royalcanin.com/products/royal-canin-feline-health-nutrition-indoor-intense-hairball-34-dry-cat-food/2534 bear in mind the vomiting might be caused by the hyperthyroidism rather than caused by the hairballs.
