Wish I'd known sooner! Spent years cleaning up cat hack, stained carpet & probably wasn't pleasant for the cats either! After 2 doses, I saw results & after 4th dose, no more cleanup. It's only been 2-3 weeks, but I'm definitely impressed & hope it continues to work. My 2 cats were a little dubious about eating this the first time & one of them out & out fought me & I had to sort of smear it on her face, but now they lick it out of a spoon, no hassels. 06/11/2011
Milo Loves It and it Works! Milo loves the taste of Petromalt and he has not had a hairball since we started using it! It is so easy to give to him; it seems like a treat! He'll lick it off my finger and purr, and then have some more. It's wonderful! 05/17/2013
Most Effective Product The pet stores have been carrying other hairball remedies with a lot of other ingredients and a different taste, which my cat won't touch. However, she scarfs up the original Petromalt and it keeps her from having hairballs, Please redistribute this at the pet stores. It's much the best. 04/30/2013
My ragdoll is 17 and throws up hairballs constantly. I tried giving her Petromalt and she wanted no part of it. So now I put a squeeze of it in a very little dish, with 2 teaspoons of tuna water (right from the tuna can), and she laps it all up. (I also include her thyroid liquid meds in the mixture). She doesn't throw up hairballs as much now. 04/26/2013
It Is AWESOME! My 1,5 year old cat always grooming herself and she always awaken even from her deep sleep to vomit. I brought her to the vets and he suggest me to buy otc hairball remedy. At first I tried to feed her with spoon, I had to chase her around the house then smear it to her paws n face. After 2-3 days, she seems to like this medicine, I only put an inch of it on a spoon, she licked it clean. She's better now! She doesn't vomit and she even thinks it's a treats LOL 03/04/2013

Is your petromalt new? Sergeants made petromalt and changed the ingredients recently and most cats HATE IT. They run away and my friends cat got sick. I called Sergeants and they did in fact add something to it...........they said that they received MANY complaints. They will be going back to the original, however, they did not have a date. I was told not to buy any petromalt with "WWW" on the outside of the box.
I will order it if this is the NEWEST petromalt, otherwise I have no choice but to wait until it is in the stores again where I can see the code on the box. Please let me know. I am interested in the malt flavor one. Thank you!.

Answer: 
Put a nickle size squeeze of petromalt in a very little dish, and add some tuna water from a can of tuna (say 2 teaspoons) and mix it until the petromalt is blended. I buy the store brand of chunk light in water (.79 cents a can). Chunk light definitely has more liquid than albacore. Store the tuna in the frig for the next application in a few days, and after you use all the liquid from the can, give the tuna to the cat. Cheap enough.

Answer: 
There are potentially 2 reasons. The first is that Petromalt may inhibit absorption of nutrients from the pet's food. The second is giving food is going to ramp up the pet's digestive system so the Petromalt will be eliminated quickly and not work the way it was intended to.

Why my Cat Sneezes

My Cat Fluffy sneezes a lot and has done this for months. She does not have a cold maybe she has allergies. Not sure. What would be a good cure for this. Or do I need to take her to the Vet. ??

Answer: 
It won't be fun but, maybe have the vet or a groomer give kitty a bath to get dead hair and dandruff off. Absolutely wash any cloth materials (including toys) he/she lays on and vacuum areas where kitty hangs out. If you use litter that is clay-based, it produces dust no matter what you do... try an alternative litter like feline-pine or even an unscented litter. That should help alleviate allergens your cat is most-likely to be exposed to.
