The fact is that due to a lack of fluid, difficulties arise with the free passage of the hairball into the intestines.

Therefore, it is your job as a responsible owner to monitor how much water your cat drinks and make every effort to increase this amount.

2. Use malt pastes

In other words, malt pastes are pastes for removing hair. Their action is to soften the hairballs and, accordingly, facilitate their removal from the body.
