To prevent hairballs - Give orally a strip of 1.25 cm (1/2 inch) per 2 kg (4.4 lbs) of body weight, 1 to 2 times per week. Brush coat frequently.
Caution:
If cat's condition worsens or does not improve, consult your veterinarian.
Warning
Keep out of reach of children and other animals.
I have used Petromalt forever, it seems. Now they have changed the formula and not for the better! The old Petromalt had mineral oil (44%) as the first ingredient. Now the first ingredient is corn syrup. Not only is corn syrup wrecking our foods, now the animal products, too. The new one is runny, hard to use and the cats don't like it.
Bring back the old formula.
Hairballs? by Ranger01/26/2012
This product is a life saver for my long haired cat. He eagerly waits on Mon and Thu for his "treat" of the malt flavor paste. Since I began using it, there have been no more occurances of throwing up those dreaded hairballs.

Be aware this formula has changed and now has corn syrup as the first ingredient (It's a cheap filler). A lot of cats are allergic to corn.

New Formula - NOT HAPPY! by Renee01/19/2012
Why was the formula changed? My cats used to love licking this product right from the tube, now I have to force them to take it! It is so runny and they don't like the plastic tub. They no longer run to me when I show them the tub!! How sad :( Please bring back the old formula and packaging!
Not a bad purchase by John01/12/2012
My cat likes the Petromalt better than other brands I have tried. She willingly licks it off my finger but it has not stopped her throwing up. There are no large hairballs in the vomitus. I am still searching for a cure for this annoying condition.
Helps with hairballs by Sis's Mom from Cary NC01/17/2012
My kitties loved this so much they thought of it as a treat. I have noticed that the newer, plastic tubes contain a product that is less sticky and more runny which doesn't work as well for my kitties as they prefer to lick it off my finger. It does help with hairballs, my black and white kitty had cottony hair and he washed a lot so this was helpful in reducing hairballs.
