What is the best Hairball Gel/Paste brand for my cat?? There’s so many on the market and I’m not sure what one to buy to help my cat pass his stubborn hair ball successfully. He’s been gagging/yaking with nothing coming up in the last 48 hours.

Laxatone or PetroMalt are recommended. If he will allow, try to brush him daily to reduce shedding. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/tomlyn-natural-laxatone-cat-hairball-eliminator https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/sentry-petromalt-malt-flavored-hairball-relief
