Solid Option
Overall, this is a reasonable fiber-based supplement aimed at helping manage hairballs in otherwise healthy cats. The combination of psyllium husk and pumpkin provides fermentable and non-fermentable fiber, which can help stool quality and hair passage when used alongside a complete diet. It’s best thought of as an add-on for cats that groom heavily or are prone to mild hairball issues, rather than a replacement for dietary management and grooming.

Strengths
- Uses psyllium husk and pumpkin, two well-known fiber sources that can help move ingested hair through the gut and support regular stools.
- Simple, supplement-style formula that’s easy to add to a cat’s existing complete diet without changing their main food.
- Soft, scoopable texture may make it easier to give to picky cats compared with hard treats or powders sprinkled on food.
Considerations
- This product is a supplement, not a complete and balanced diet, so it should only be used in addition to a regular cat food that meets all nutritional requirements.
- Contains several ingredients that may not suit very sensitive cats, such as anchovy oil and multiple plant starches, so monitor for any digestive upset when starting it.
- Fiber supplements can occasionally cause loose stools or constipation if a cat doesn’t drink enough water, so watch stool quality and ensure fresh water is always available.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Psyllium Husk
Psyllium husk is a soluble, fermentable fiber commonly added to dog and cat diets as a bulking agent and stool regulator to support healthy intestinal transit, firm loose stools, relieve constipation, and help manage hairballs in cats and weight management through increased satiety. It must be hydrated and given with adequate water because it swells substantially, can alter absorption of some medications, and should be introduced gradually with veterinary guidance to avoid gastrointestinal upset or rare obstruction risks.
02
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is used in pet foods primarily as a fiber-rich carbohydrate and moisture source that can help regulate digestion and firm up loose stools or add bulk for softer stools, and it provides beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) plus small amounts of vitamins and minerals for dogs and cats. It is safe and beneficial when plain cooked or canned (not spiced or sweetened pie filling), should be fed in moderation as a supplement rather than a primary food, and introduced gradually since large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset or interfere with absorption of some medications.

03
Anchovy Oil
Anchovy oil is a concentrated marine oil commonly used in pet foods as a fat source and a supplemental supply of omega‑3 long‑chain fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which also helps enhance palatability. In dogs and cats these omega‑3s support skin and coat health, joint mobility, cognitive function and have anti‑inflammatory effects, but owners should note the oil’s high caloric density, potential for fishy odor or gastrointestinal upset, the need for quality processing to limit oxidation and contaminants, and that very high doses may affect blood clotting—so follow manufacturer or veterinary dosing recommendations.
04
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is typically used in pet foods or supplements as a flavoring, acidity regulator and mild preservative rather than a significant source of nutrients, and it is sometimes added in small amounts to treats or diet toppers for palatability or anecdotal digestive support for dogs and cats. Raw, unfiltered varieties contain the “mother” which some claim has beneficial microbes, but evidence is limited, and concentrated vinegar can irritate the mouth, throat or stomach and may be contraindicated for animals with GI, kidney, or metabolic conditions—consult your veterinarian before use.
05
Bone Broth
Bone broth is used in pet foods and as a topper to boost moisture and palatability while providing small amounts of collagen, gelatin and minerals that may support joint and gut health in dogs and cats. It can be beneficial as a flavor/hydration enhancer, but choose low‑sodium, additive‑ and onion/garlic‑free preparations, strain out bone fragments, and consult your veterinarian before offering it to pets with kidney disease, pancreatitis, or other medical concerns.
