I have very picky cats with some teeth missing and they all enjoy this food very much.
Nuhmmie (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hairbsll formula works well and has the perfect sized nibbles. My cats are able to eat it without leaving any debris of broken pieces in the bowl. I gave it four stars because they don’t care for the flavor compared to the Savory, their favorite.
Franie (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a while ago and the results have been astounding. My everyday hairball problem with three large long-haired cats has disappeared! And best of all—they LOVE the taste of this Hairball Care.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My cats are extremely picky when it comes to what they eat. I have tried many brands and flavors, but this one seems to be a winner. I have been supplying this to my two queens for 5 years and they have always enjoyed eating it.
Marne22 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this as cats have a tendency to get hairballs in fall. Seems to have helped significantly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since starting this food 5 months ago, my cats have stopped having hairballs. They love this food.
Jewlz (verified owner) –
This product is wonderful. However, I find it completely unfair that I can now only buy a 6lb bag. The benefit of switching from Hill’s (whom gives me my bags of food for free) to you guys was because I could get the hairball food in mass quantity. I have 7 cats inside and about 20 outside. Buying 6 lb bags would last me one day, maybe two. This is a major inconvenience and way more expensive for me.
Catlady22 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter’s long haired cats came to live with me and I had always used Royal Canin for my cats, but her cats puked up hairballs on a regular basis, so I decided to try the “intense hairball blend”. Not only has it ended the hair balls almost completely, but their coats are silkier and softer than ever! Absolutely LOVE Royal Canin!!!!
Darlene Cech (verified owner) –
It’s our usual brand. My cats won’t eat anything else

I started using this formula of Royal Canin dry cat food more than a year ago for my two cats. In that time, neither of the cats has had a hairball problem. They love the food, are healthy and content. For me, that all is a perfect result.
Holbeans (verified owner) –
My oldest girl cat has hairballs all the time. She also has a grain intolerance. We tried this formula and were shocked by the results. Not only did little miss picky enjoy the food, her hairballs disappeared almost immediately. All of our other cats like it to so we don’t have to separate the bowls either! Thank you!
Kitties0521 (verified owner) –
My cat has been eating this for several years, on the advice of our vet. He is a siamese mix, and very picky. But he likes this food. He had starting vomiting frequently a few years ago, and I figured out it was hairballs, because once he was finally able to cough it up (over the course of several days of vomitting), he was fine for a month, until the cycle started again. Since he has been eating this food, he vomits only about once every 3 or 4 months. This is the only food he eats, in addition to occasional treats. I hope they never change the formulation, like other brands do. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive.
tji6694 (verified owner) –
I have 3 rescue cats and they were given this food at the shelter and now this is the only food they will eat. Talking about picky eaters! But it makes it all worth it because they don’t throw up fur balls like they do with other food.

JGUN3212 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have 3 cats and all of them love this food. We switched to this from the indoor beauty because 1 of our cats has digestive/hairball issues because he’s an obsessive groomer. The indoor beauty cat food was great! All 3 cats coats were shiny & soft after feeding that for a couple weeks. The intense hairball does not have the same effects on their coats but they seem to like it just the same and the obsessed licker does not hack up hairballs as much; Probably because he digests the hair more easily. Royal Canin foods are definetely top of the line!
Rmb114 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this two months ago due to recurring issues with hairballs. I mix this with a weight management hard food. My 3 cats love it, they always pick out this food to eat first and it has helped tremendously with hairballs. It’s a keeper!
antiliz (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been feeding my two cats this dry food for about one year and their production of hairballs has decreased dramatically. They are finicky eaters but enjoy the taste of this food. Great product!

This is the only product that has helped by boys. They were getting sick a lot before this product. They love it
catmomshops (verified owner) –
I was really hoping this food would help prevent hairballs. Although they like the taste of the food, it did not reduce the frequency or amount of hairballs my two cats get. The Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Gastrointestinal- moderate calorie does help with hairballs, but one of my cats does not like the taste very much. So I was looking for another option. I’ll keep looking.

I have 3 double costed shorthairs that, well, puke hairballs everywhere! I started the Indoor Intense 34 thinking what the heck it is worth a try. Well low and behold within 2 weeks (at the most) nit a single hairball puke! Never going off of this food!

I was told this was good to try for hairballs. My cats just love it.
Kali (verified owner) –
My medium haired cat eats mostly wet food (raw), but suffered from pretty regular hairballs (every 2-4 days). It got to where every morning I’d make sure I turned on the light before walking across the apartment lest I step in a cold, squishy hairball. I started adding a small grain free kibble meal at bedtime (10pm) to see if that minimized the hairball vomiting in the early mornings by giving her stomach something to do. It helped a little, but I would still get at least 1-3 a week.
tji6694 (verified owner) –
No more stepping on hair balls in the middle of the night .My cat is a rescue cat and you would think he would be happy eating anything. They introduced him to this product when he was saved at the humane society as a kitten he won’t eat any other product. My wife works for Arcana and Origen pet foods and he won’t touch the stuff. Spoiled kitty!
Cheddar (verified owner) –
Both our cats have had difficulties with hairballs; one of them requiring expensive veterinary care as a result of impacted hair. Since switching to Royal Canin Indoor Hairball 34, our cats no longer throw up messy clumps of hair.

My cat will not eat any other cat food and I couldn’t be happier.
Royal Canin makes quality pet food!

Purchased for my long haired cat that is picky and has super long fur. She loved the flavor and after a month, her coat looked more sleek and supple. She was energetic and seemed happy. We’re switching to royal canin.

Toothless Zulie (verified owner) –
My wife and I are owned by a beautiful 6 year old Birman cat. Her name is Azul, and we call her Zulie. She’s been eating Royal Canin all her life, and as an adult, she’s been enjoying the Indoor Intense Hairball “34”. About 2 years ago she came down with periodontal disease and we had to have all of her teeth taken out. We of course thought that we would have to switch her to soft foods only and tried many different ones, but she refuses anything but her “34”. She just swallows it whole. Never seen anything like it. When you know what you like, yo know what yo like!
PatOB (verified owner) –

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this diet after many failed attempts to find something to control my cat’s vomiting/hairball episodes. It not only has helped tramendiously but my cat who is typically picky loves it, even almost a year down the road!

I bought this product a couple months ago and it’s been working amazingly. My cat loves the flavor and she hasn’t had any issues since we started using this food I also combined it with the wet formula as well

I find Royal Canin well worth the cost difference. My kitty has a lot of trouble with hairballs which the RC Hairball control certainly helps reduce. I have tried almost all dry foods available and this one trumps all the others.

Tannat (verified owner) –
I have used this product for a long time and my cats really enjoy it and it certainly helps with hairballs. The problem I have is the bag closure. It does not hold up for long and will not re-seal after awhile. Consider replacing with the velcro closure that is on Hills Science Diet cat food. It works perfectly. Thank you.

MizCricket (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been buying this for years for my excessively shedding short-haired calico cat. If she were not on it, she would have even worse digestive issues with the hairballs she has. The Intense Hairball formula cut down on the frequency of this problem tremendously.

Catopia (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this for over a decade, starting with the extreme hairball as it used to be called. Every cat that I’ve had, and I’m a crazy cat lady has done extremely well with this food and no, I repeat no hairballs. It’s pure magic. I had a sanctuary now and wouldn’t be able to live without it. Only thing I wish is that it came and bigger bags! Thanks Royal Canon!!
WhitneyW (verified owner) –
When our cats starting get hair balls we tried a few other brands and the cats were still experiencing hair balls. Within a few weeks of having switched them to Royal Canin we noticed an immediate decease in the amount of hair balls. Very pleased with the results and the cats live the flavor.
mntaray (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a month ago as I have an extremely finicky long haired cat who has a hairball problem and a penchant for hunger strikes. His other food worked well but he just got sick of it. I tried this Hairball food and he LOVES it! He dove right in! The kibbles are a bit large and thought that would be a turn off but he doesn’t seem to mind at all! Seems to be working well for the hairballs as well. Still have a few but they are much smaller and less frequent than before.
Catman79 (verified owner) –
I’ve been using this for years. No more hair balls.
Great for weight management. Cats love it.
haljacks (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My cat is a long haired cat and therefore, she has had a history of coughing up a lot of fur balls. I tried switching her food many times in the past hoping that it would help, but nothing ever did… until I switched her to RC’s hairball care diet. I’ve had her on this diet several months now and she’s maybe coughed up one hairball in that time when it used to be a weekly thing. I won’t feed her anything else now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I were struggling to find a healthy new diet for our adult cat. We almost gave up until a very nice lady that worked for petsupplycanada suggested this with 100% empty bag guarantee out of her own pocket. Not only was she right but our cat became increasingly more active and loving than she had been in years and has been consistent ever since. Thank you Royal Canin!

Kim LA (verified owner) –
I usually buy Feline Health Nutrition Indoor Adult Cat Food for 2 of my cats and Veterinary Diet Urinary SO for my male oldest cat by Royal Canin. And of course, my oldest gets tired of eating Veterinary Diet. SO he sometimes sneaks by and eats the reg indoor food. Which in the end, he throws up. Since my cats are indoor. I thought I have them try Indoor Hairball Care, especially the oldest cat with longhair. And you know what, they love this food, and it really helps them. Even though it’s kinda pricey and the quantity is small. To make it last longer to feed all 3. What I do is mixed it with Indoor food & Indoor Hairball Care. It totally works. They love Royal Canin and so do I.
BobbieG (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I raise Ragdol cats. They choose Royal Canin above any other manufacturer. The RC Intense Hairball bowl is always empty after mealtime. Without a doubt their favorite. The coasts are shiny, silky and their skin is in top condition.
Nikki56 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been feeding our cats ROYAL CANIN FELINE CARE NUTRITION HAIRBALL CARE dry cat food for about 2 years now; Princess Leia, a medium haired gray diva of 7 1/2 pounds who likes growling at and swatting boy cats in the butt, when she is not grooming or demanding to be petted, has had a significant decrease in vomiting. We only once in awhile hear that sound, you know, the one like a Japanese ghost in a horror film with Sarah Michelle Gellar, that, in an antipodean way, makes everyone in the house run toward it screaming, “Noooo!!!! Not on the couch!” Great food. we all love it.

We’ve been feeding our Maine Coon this for over a year and he very rarely has a hairball. Before this we tried the tubes of stuff to prevent but he didn’t like it and it wasn’t effective. Also, his coat is beautiful! He feels silky and his long hair is shiny and healthy. We love feeding him something that is good for him and he likes it!
Slostler (verified owner) –
My cats love this food. We’ve tried many different brands. They are both long hair and this really helps them. It’s hard to find though. I love Royal Canin. I miss being able to find easily the Siamese rag doll food as well.

My name is Draper and I’m, 15 years old. My mom bought a three sample box several years ago and Indoor Intense Hairball was the best one. She’s kept it in stock ever since. I just wish it weren’t so expensive for her. Sometimes I donate my allowance to purchase it.

My long-haired polydactyl cat Sylvie was a rescue with lots of problems including digestive problems exacerbated by her long hair—so we started her on RC Intense Hairball 34———-and wala—–she has been saved——no more hairballs (I do brush her everyday too) for my sweet girl-and she loves it more than her canned food-sometimes I even have to put a sprinkle of it on her food to get her to eat!
It is a wonderful food for her highness!!!

I am a Veterinary Technician who has a medium hair and a long hair cat. I have only ever fed RC brand. I was cleaning up hairball vomit 2-3 times/week! I gradually switched my girls to this food and now they rarely have a hairball. I am so thankful (and so is my SpotBot 😉

Jenn83 (verified owner) –
My cats love this food. My only complaint is the ziplock closure- on the last 4-5 bags the ziplock has torn so I have to fold the top down and clip it closed, compromising the freshness. The bigger bag is better value for your money but I wish the closure was better.
GGandMe920 (verified owner) –
Cat coats come in different textures as well as lengths. One of mine with a short, coarse coat, had much trouble with hairballs. Royal Canin Indoor Intense Hairball 34 did the trick for her. The bonus was all six of our clowder love it and it works for all of them. I did a side by side with another top brand, which they also love, and they all chose the Royal Canin over it. Plus, the cat for whom I purchased it has a marked improvement in her coat after just one 3 pound bag. Expensive? Yes, and worth every penny because it improved ALL my cats’ health. Better health = fewer vet visits. They are now Royal Canin Cats!
Wegi Mom (verified owner) –

I adopted a feral cat who is now a happy indoor cat. I tried many “gourmet” premium grain-free foods first and the hairball problems were intense. She constantly vomited white foam and lost her appetite. Royal Canin Intense Hairball 34 was recommemded by the vet, and all the problems were solved. Plus she prefers the taste and texture!

My cat has had issues with constipation for as long as I’ve had her. Discovered that her hair was binding together her stool and making it difficult for her to use the litter box.

This food has helped immensely with my 2 year old cat’s hairball issue. He has longer hair and despite daily brushing he was still having trouble. We have went from him coughing up hairballs at least once a week to now just one or two a month. It is somewhat expensive for me being on a fixed income but worth the price in the end.

We have two cats, a Tortie and a Ragdoll, and both are long-haired, so hairballs can be an issue. By feeding them Royal Canin Hairball Care Dry food every day, we no longer have to worry so much about their digestion, AND, they like the food – BOTH CATS – and that hardly ever happens. Royal Canin was recommended by our Vet, and we used the products for years, and love them.

Our two Siamese chose Royal Canin from three brands of dry cat food by ignoring the other two brands.
Our Siamese big boy lost some of His excess weight in the process. His much younger buddy was raised on Royal Canin by his breeder and has always preferred Royal Canin dry cat food.

We have been feeding RC Indoor Cat food with Hairball control for years. We started using this because we had always fed IAMS but our previous cat developed diabetes. After we got or current kitty we started her immediately on RC. We knew she was going to be an indoor only cat so we looked for a formula for our needs. An added plus was the hairball control.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our two medium length hair kitties, who are now two years old, have been on this food since they weaned off the kitten food. They have loads of soft fuzzy under hair and this food really helps control the hairballs.

I got a small size of this food & some others at a chain pet store & brought them home, expecting my problem cat to not eat them and the other to eat it all. To my surprise, this one he gobbled down. So I got a larger bag & read the reviews on Amazon. This cat throws his food up often, the vet said sensitive stomach. This food he can eat & keep it down most of the time. It is expensive compared to some other foods, but their fur is so soft & they seem so healthy so it’s worth it.

We adopted Ray (a 7 year old male) from our local humane society. We were having a lot of trouble with him throwing up hairballs. He was sick at least once a day. We tried treats, paste, and sensitive stomach formula food- but nothing worked. I read the review of Royal Canin hairball dry cat food and thought- we have nothing to loose in trying it. We are so glad we did it has helped Ray tremendously. I am now giving him the dry and wet version on Royal Canin hairball food and he loves it. Don’t ever stop making this food it has been a life saver!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the only food after trying many that keeps his long hair shiny with no dry skin. The other big plus is no hairballs. None! We used Royal Canin dog food when we had other pets and they lived long, healthy lives as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Royal Canin Hairball is an excellent product. It contains the nutrienets and the fiber cats need. my cats love this food and I love the amount of fiber in this food. People are constantly asking me what I feed my cats becasue their hair shines and is so soft.

This is the only hairball kibble that my cat will eat! It works great as my cat does not like to be brushed. I’ve tried a few different brands and this is the one she will eat. The only down side is that it is expensive and there a very few sales on it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two cats and one will only eat Royal Canin wet and dry food and the other one has an issue with hairballs. This Hairball Care formula has stopped his regurgitation all together (unless he sneaks outside and eats grass). Both cats are at their bowls ready to eat every morning and sometimes I will get that early wake up with Colt wanting his Royal Canin breakfast (even if there is some left in the dish). The Vet recommended what they sell in their office and neither cat would go near it, my pickiest cat tried to bury it. Would definitely recommend trying this product if you experience hairball issues with your fur babies

I’ve been feeding my 2 Birman long hair mixed breed cats for years now. They are 12 yrs old sisters. Rarely find a puked up hair ball. Still active playing with their toys. They’re pretty active indoor only cats.

I made the switch about 4 years ago from store cat food to Royal Canin and it was the best decision I ever made for my cats. In the first week I noticed there improved energy, mood, and noticed a positive difference in their coats. I have been using the intense hairball food now for 4 years and occasionally I will throw in the indoor beauty food. We have 3 cats and all of their fur is shiny and beautiful! Their energy level and mood is fantastic! Royal Canin is a bit more expensive than other brands but it is worth every penny! I will never be changing my cat’s food again.

The previous owner said this is what she gave her boy so it’s what I buy for him. He’s a longhair Ragdoll and neither of us have had any hairball issues so it must work all right.

The cats can be so finicky. I was feeding the the Royal Canin GI, bit they needed some hairball support. They started eating it right away. Too early to say about the hairball support, but I am just happy they are eating it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using this product since 2014 after my (then 3 year old) cat underwent a sudden, life-threatening health issue and would subsequently not eat after 7 days in the animal ICU. After trying several foods, we found this product and he loved it, quickly getting back on track and starting to eat again. He is a longer-haired cat and has suffered a previous bowel obstruction from his humungous hairballs. This food keeps his digestive tract working right, and 3 years later he is healthy and happy. It’s totally worth the price if it helps my baby! We love Royal Canin!

This food quite literally saved my long hair cats life. He has always thrown up hair balls successfully with no issues. But just in the last year he passed one instead of throwing it up, which caused him great sickness for the few days before he passed it. We had no idea what it was at first. Then a few weeks ago we took him to the vet with fear of kidney failure or liver failure after he stopped eating and was severely lethargic for a few days, we were prepared for the worst since he is 18. However, an abdominal ultrasound and blood work all revealed he was very healthy for his aga! He came home (still sick but better after being on IV and anti nausea pills) and once again he passed a nasty hair ball. We had given him hair ball care food before, but had never seen this one. We immediately found it online and bought it and he has been continually passing small acceptable amounts of fur in his stools since eating it. This food helps push the fur through instead of it blocking him up, and he is acting like a kitten again! He was always very active and this food has helped him immensely – we are literally in shock how much it has helped him.

I would like to say thank you to Royal Canin for developing this product. We bought this around 2 months ago just to ‘give a try’ since our Himalayan cat was throwing up every day and we have tried different products and solutions to solve that situation. About two or three days after starting to eat the ‘Hairball Care dry cat food’ he stopped to throw up and it happened again just about 2-3 times in the last 3 months. The product definitely works!!

I had a ragdoll cat that was having constant hairballs and it was getting to the point where I was ready to throw in the towel after trying SO many different types of hairball remedies and foods, when I contacted my breeder who I purchased the cat from and she recommended Royal Canin. She said they are a little more high priced, but after you use it-you will understand why and just how worth it it really is. After 2weeks on the Royal Canin Intense Hairball dry food my cat has only had 3 hairballs in 2years! (Compared to at least 1-3 a week that was the norm for him) I was amazed and have been hooked on the brand ever since! I know also use the Royal Canin Ragdoll dry food as well! And recommended it to my friend who had a similar issue with her kitty! She is now also a believer! I wouldn’t waste my time with any other brand ever again! Royal Canin truly is the best and has exceeded my expectations! Thank you from me and my handsome kitty!!

My long haired, indoor feline could have made hairball hacking an Olympic sport if there was such a thing but I didn’t like watching her suffer a few times per week. We tried the long-haired version and the indoor version of Royal Canine and it was not successful. I decided on “Hairball” and it was the fix she needed. We use it with a hairball gel a couple times per week and she stays healthy and happy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At one point, we had 3 cats, two of which who struggled with hairballs (litter mates, apparently genetic). Immediate reduction of issues found with this product. All three found it inviting and the overall well being noticeable in all 3 cats – by far, magic! One of the littermates is still with us, continues to struggle if presented with alternative formulas, we ALWAYS return back to RC Nutrition HC! Thank you!

I have been feeding this to my babies, (my cats were my kids) for over a decade. I now feed this to the 13 I have sanctuaried. They all like it very much, eat it over wet food when it’s out and, as expected, ZERO hairballs which is great because we have carpet! Can’t express enough how much I love it. Please never change the formula or flavor Royal Canin!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an 8 cat household, some more prone to hairballs than others. Since starting with the Intense Hairball formula, I have seen a major decrease in the amount of hairballs. And, they seem to really love it…better than the Urinary SO, which they still currently have available in some dishes! I would say that we are all very pleased!

We’ve been using this brand since the summer of 2021 for our indoor Longhair kitty with great success. Not only is she long haired but she also has a sensitive stomach and this is the only brand that helps keep the fur down. She loves to wash! When she starts shedding, massively, in the spring we know she’ll be in good hands with this kibble. Pricey but worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our boys have been eating this formula for years. Two of our three American Shorthair cats love this dry food, and will get a hairball maybe once a year. The one who will not eat dry food has a couple of hairballs every week. All of our cats have moist food several times a day, but even with being “spoiled” with the moist food all day long, they still manage to go through a big soup bowl of Hairball Care dry food every couple of days. I would say, this product is a great success and they love it.

Let m start by saying that I have been feeding my seven year old kitty the original Indoor Intense Hairball 34 for the past eight months. The original formula was wonderful. My kitty loved it and went from having constant hairballs, to having basically none. Unfortunately last week I purchased a bag of the new formula. Within two days of feeding it to my kitty he had a SEVERE allergic reaction. He was vomiting non stop every twenty minutes to the point I had to take him for an emergency visit with my vet who confirmed it was a severe allergic reaction. My kitty is an indoor kitty and the only change was the food. Please be careful when trying this new formula. Fortunately my sweet boy will be ok. I just hope no other kitties have to suffer like he did.
