PUAINTA hairball solution for cats review

At around ₱349 as of August 12, 2026 for 200 tablets. Hairballs are a real nuisance and this is the wrong end of the problem to attack.

The hair gets in through the tongue

A cat’s tongue is covered in backward-facing barbs, which is what makes grooming so effective and why swallowed hair is unavoidable. Most of it passes through. Some of it collects in the stomach and comes back up.

Everything a hairball product can do happens after the hair is already inside. Brushing happens before, and it is the only intervention that reduces the amount of hair there is to deal with.

Two to five minutes every day or two removes a surprising quantity of loose hair, especially on a long-haired cat or during a heavy shed. It costs nothing after the brush, it reduces mats, and for most cats it becomes something they come and ask for.

If you buy one thing for hairballs, buy a brush.

What the products actually do

Most hairball remedies are lubricants, usually petroleum jelly based, which help the mass pass through rather than come back up. Some are fibre-based, which does something similar from the other direction.

This one is described as a hairball removal and B-vitamin supplement in tablet form. The listing does not say which mechanism it uses, what the active ingredient is, how much of anything is in a tablet, or how many to give an animal of a given weight.

For something you would give daily to a cat, that is a lot of unknowns.

When a hairball stops being a nuisance

This is the part worth knowing regardless of what you buy.

A cat retching repeatedly and producing nothing, or vomiting frequently, is not having a normal hairball day. Hair can form a blockage, which is a surgical emergency, and frequent vomiting in cats is more often a sign of something else entirely: inflammatory bowel disease, food sensitivity, hyperthyroidism, kidney disease.

Cats are also very good at hiding illness. Several hairballs a month, weight loss, or a cat going off its food alongside the retching is a vet visit, not a stronger supplement.

What is genuinely worth adding

Moisture. A well-hydrated cat moves things through more easily, and most cats drink too little. A wet food a few times a week does more than a tablet, and the Goodest 24-pack publishes its analysis, which this does not.

Who the hairball tablets suit

Buy this if you already brush regularly, your vet has ruled out anything else, and you want something to add on top.

Skip it as a first response, and skip it in place of finding out why a cat is vomiting.

Where to put the money instead

For the moisture side of the problem, see the Goodest 24-pack wet pouches. For the same brand’s general supplement with a smaller claim, the PUAINTA pet multivitamins are cheaper.
