Re: hair ball


I put a couple of drops of cod liver oil in my cats dinner everyday, and they have no hairball troubles anymore...

Re: hair ball


well I now use Moli'smethod of the cod liver oil. None of mine seem bothered about the taste, but then it's only a few drops. and i got a bottle of it in saveers for £2 something, it'll last absolutly ages and ages. we had it two weeks at elast and used about half na inch out of the top of bottle. I wouldnt take it in oil form myself though, it stinks!
