How Tyga helps
Real, nutritious food is good for your cat, coat included. Our meals have the ideal mix of fibre, gut-friendly superfoods, and moisture to keep hair moving through the digestive tract instead of turning into you-know-whats.
- Fibre: Kelp, shiitake mushrooms, and psyllium husk help carry swallowed hair through the digestive tract instead of letting it pile up
- High moisture: Hydration helps hair pass smoothly through the gut
- Quality protein, omega fatty acids, and vitamin E: These support healthy skin and a glossy coat, so your cat sheds less
Why hairballs happen
Cats are meticulous groomers. As they clean their coats, hair catches on their tongue and gets swallowed. Most of it passes straight through, but the rest gathers in the stomach and comes back up.
Since grooming is a cat thing, some swallowed hair is inevitable, and the occasional hairball will happen. So think of food as one part of the routine, alongside regular grooming and general care.
More ways to manage them
- Regular grooming: Brushing removes loose hair before your cat swallows it. It's one of the best ways to cut down on hairballs, especially for long or dense coats, or during a big shed
- Hairball remedies: Pastes and gels help hair move through the gut more easily. Chat to your vet to see if this will work for your cat
When to talk to your vet
The odd hairball is normal, but keep an eye out for changes like:
- Frequent or persistent hairballs
- Retching or vomiting
- Changes in appetite or behaviour
- Signs of discomfort or low energy
