What causes furballs?
Cats are avid groomers and seem to spend hours preening and licking themselves. Unfortunately, this usually means that they end up swallowing a lot of loose fur which accumulates in their stomach to form matted lumps called furballs.
These are usually either vomited out or emitted with their feces as part of the body’s natural elimination process. Problems arise if the cat's digestive system is weak or if their nutrition is inadequate. Furballs may remain inside the cat and act as a cork, causing a number of problems.
The natural way
There is much that can be done naturally to support the digestive system and deal with common furballs in cats.
In a healthy cat, the digestive system will naturally eliminate any hair that your cat has swallowed while grooming. Fiber and oils in the diet will help the hair pass naturally from the system without incident.
Unfortunately, the modern diet and sedentary lifestyle of the domestic cat, along with the breeding of long-haired varieties, can interfere with this process.
What is Furball Dr.?
FurBall Dr. has been specifically formulated for cats and contains a combination of selected natural herbal ingredients to support digestion, cleansing and elimination. It thereby helps to maintain digestive health and harmony, support the natural cleansing process, and effectively deal with common furballs in cats.
Presented in a cat-friendly easy-to-administer form, FurBall Dr. will help to keep both your cat and your carpet 'furball free'!

“Being Persian, our cat swallowed a lot of fur, which always ended up unfortunately on my bed! Your FurBall Dr. capsules are very easy to give to her, unlike other pills-- and we know the early signs now and make sure she gets them for a few days every time, which really does the trick. We have also found your Muscle and Joint Capsules helpful for our German Shepherd. All our thanks for what you are doing for the animals!”
