My cat who has very long hair, keeps throwing up hair balls and some times she doesn't but it will be just undigested dry food. I have her on a sensitive stomach formula from Blue Wilderness.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! In long haired cats with severe hair balls where a hairball food (Royal canine, Hills and Purina make a hairball food) and laxatone do not help I recommend taking the cat to the groomer for a shave down. Hairballs can become a blockage. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/tomlyn-laxatone-tuna-flavored-hairball-lubricant Good luck!
