The litter I really like is Vetbasis. It is made from corn cobs and only has the slightest scent of lavender when first put into a litter box. After that the litter itself has no odor whatsoever. It does a great job containing the smell of cat waste and clumps wonderfully. Additionally the...
...search engine before I posted. Did you look at the results? They are mostly concerning hairballs and some other product. A couple mention Vetbasis going out of business and one post vaguely mentions the litter being seen at a store (over a decade ago). I was trying to find if anyone uses...
This stuff has been phenomenal for my cats and I am considering using it exclusively. Does anyone have any long term experience with this litter? I have only been using it a few weeks in one litter box and have been very impressed. I'd be interested to learn about people's experiences with...
...That can help; I feed raw too and rarely see a hairball since I add 1 raw yolk per lb of food. Also Nature's Plus- Egg Yolk Lecithin (added to food--my first choice after raw yolks), Vetbasis- Hairball Gel, or Vet's Best- Cat Lube. These three are my top choices ingredient-wise.
HTH a bit,
...as laxatone are okay for very occasional use as they have a high content of petroleum in it. If you are going to use a hairball remedy use Vetbasis. It has no petroleum in it. A great stool softner for cats is called Miralax (called PEG 3350 in Canada). This has been a life saviour for many...
What happened to Vetbasis? I have been using their litter exclusively and now I can't find it anywhere. Neither can I find their hairball gel. Are they out of business?
...lots of brushing when she feels up for it. seems to be helping... or maybe she's just less nauseous at night now?
cl: I'll check out the vetbasis link as soon as I finish typing!
Natalie: I think I may have described her health a bit inaccurately. I was feeling pretty low when I first...
Dave,
Could one of the vets recommend something gentle for the hairballs? I've used Vetbasis for years. It has no petroleum in it.

Good vibes to your kitty!
Not unless I had done probably a quadrouple cat-proofing of the place; not unless this "someone" was spending more time with him than twice daily pilling; not unless I were convinced that the "someone" was as skilled as I in watching for and detecting behavioural changes...in a word and as...
...Somethiong like wellness or merrick
They contain no grains and no meal\\ which should help. You can also get some acidoupholous and sprinkle some in the food each day. Available at health food stores
For hairballs there are a few things you can get. I like something called vetbasis
Best of luck
There's also Vetbasis, a petroleum-free hairball/laxative gel. My kitty is very resistant to eating the gels. If/when he gets constipated again, I'm going to try the pumpkin as others have suggested. I hope Maverick feels better
Vetbasis just came out with a second flavor - salmon. I haven't seen the ingredients list yet, but would think it's the same good ingredients (and NO sugars...vetbasis is great for diabetic kitties)
Try Vetbasis Hairball Gel. My cats like the flavor (chicken) and I like it because it doesn't contain petroleum (as most hairball products do). It contains good ingredients like taurine and vitamins.
Sharky, that's exactly why I didn't buy any of the ones I saw today (even at the good pet food store, the few they had all seemed full of sugar). A quick online search revealed Vetbasis as a sugar-free possibility. What do you recommend?
