Good Product
My cat didn't want to try it at first, had to put on his front paw. Now I just take out the tube and he's ready to get his portion. Happy that it comes in fish flavor to appeal to my cat. Will know more in a couple of weeks weather the hairball vomiting situation gets any better.

Saves the Carpet!
My cat started throwing up all over the place. I took her to the vet but they couldn't figure out what is/was wrong with her and the visit cost $800. They hit her with a lot of stuff including a petroleum gel-based stuff. Happened again a month later. After paying another $800 with the same lack of knowing what the issue was, I finally figured out she was getting recurring hairballs. Not sure why, all of a sudden but now I give her a small dose of Petro-malt which she likes better than the stuff the vet over-charged me for. She doesn't like me giving it to her (I just started with the brand) but it keeps her as a happy cat.

Cats Wont Touch it
I purchased this hoping my cats would eat it if I mixed it with their food. They normally attack their food but smelled the Petromalt and wouldnt go near their bowls.
I had to put some on my finger and hold their mouths open in order to get them to swallow it. They weren't happy.
If the package didn't say Cats Love It! I wouldnt have expected them to eat it.
I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have a 6yr long hair cat that coughs and gags a lot and her purring and breathing has a rattle do you think its hairballs?
ANSWERS (1)
Thank you for your question. Some common symptoms of hairball in cats include hacking, gagging and retching. Usually your cat will then vomit the hairball in relatively short order.Other problematic symptoms to watch for include a disinterest in food, depression and lethargy, and a poor condition of your cat’s coat.
