WHAT IS A HAIRBALL?
Hairballs happen when your cat ingests fur while they’re grooming themselves. If you’ve ever been licked by a cat, you’ll know how scratchy that tongue is! It’s covered in many small spines (the technical term is papillae) that essentially function as hooks. So the tongue can lift dead or loose fur when your puss is having a grooming sesh.
You might eventually see this fur again…in their litter tray. However, if your cat ingests too much floof which can’t be digested, regurgitating is the only way to shift it.
SIGNS YOUR CAT HAS HAIRBALLS
Wondering if your puss is having problems with hairballs? Here are some telling signs to watch out for:
Frequent vomiting, gagging, retching, or hacking (even if they don’t produce a hairball at the end)
Loss of appetite
Lethargy
Constipation
Diarrhoea
HOW TO SPOT A HAIRBALL
While the word ‘hairball’ might sound fluffy, in reality, they’re anything but. Hairballs look like mucus-covered, thick matts of hair and despite the name, they’re not round. In fact, they’re more likely to be tubular in shape. Feeling nauseous yet?
After a bout of gagging, retching or hacking, you might see your cat spit up a hairball. Or you might come across one wherever your puss has been hanging out (cat: “Here’s one I made earlier…”).

Intermittent vomiting in your cat can be a common sign for hairballs. The natural lubricant action of Itch Hairball treats will encourage the natural passage of fur through and out of the digestive system rather than it accumulating in the stomach therefore reducing signs of retching and vomiting.

IS YOUR PACKAGING RECYCLABLE?
We want to do our very best for the planet we share with our furry sidekicks. One way we can make a difference (and help you make a difference, too) is by keeping sustainability top of mind when it comes to the way we package our products. If there’s a way to make our packaging even greener, you can bet we’re on a mission to sniff it out.Though our Furball pouches are not currently recyclable, we're doing our best to change that. Watch this space!Your goodies will arrive either in a cardboard box which can be recycled at home and is made of recycled materials or our brand-new mailer bags which are made from Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and contain recycled materials. They’re fully recyclable, waterproof, strong, and of course – still personalised!Our new bags are much smaller in size and weight than the cardboard boxes which means that we can fit more packages in our courier’s lorries. This means they have a more efficient journey to your doorstep, reducing our carbon footprint as well as consumer waste. You can recycle them at your local supermarket - find your nearest here.
