Amazing results!
My cat Pooka, was having trouble for weeks with a hairball. Our vet suggested Laxatone and we got the tuna flavor. Pooka was NOT excited, and I would have to sneak up on him and practically shove it in his mouth.
Even though it was traumatic for both of us... I continued to do so because it was definitely helping.
I looked Laxatone up online and found it on Vet Direct for less money than it cost through my vet.
We decided to try the maple flavor, and it was like night and day! He now licks it off my finger instead of having to be force fed. The hairball he was struggling with for weeks finally came up and he's been happier ever since! 😻
We will continue to keep it for emergencies and/ or as a preventative. Thank goodness I found this site!

Pretty good stuff
Works well, though some experimentation needs to be done to find the right dose, caution, don't overdo the dosage. the cat doesn't lick it like a treat, but does lick it off his paw with little fuss.

Laxatone/Laxative works on Furballs
From UndisclosedComments about LaxatoneLaxatone helps my cat move hair balls through her digestive system instead of making her throw them up all the time -which can be difficult for her. She prefers the Maple flavor over the Tuna. I wish it came in half the size and half the cost. A little goes a long way! I also wish she liked the taste more... but it's up to me to get creative! Meowwwww!-

Q & A

Have a cat that just doesn't like it. Put some on her paws. 2 hours later it was untouched and dried to a crust. While using warm water to remove it I thought perhaps I could dissolve it in warm water, allow to cool and then syringe it into my cats mouth. Since my cat is reluctant to lick it off my finger, her paws or her nose is there any reason this method might be ineffective??
-
According to the manufacturer’s directions, it is recommended to place a small amount of Laxatone on the cat's nose or paws to stimulate taste interest. If you are having difficulty administering this product to your cat, you may consider speaking with your veterinarian and seek their advice on the best way to give this to your cat.

I have always used regular flavor Laxatone but you are showing it out of stock. Is it no longer going to be available in the regular flavor??
-
Laxatone is still available in the regular flavor, the packaging has just been renamed to call it maple flavor. To be clear, we are currently out of stock of the 2.5 oz maple flavored laxatone, but do have 4.25 oz maple flavored laxatone.

Is it safe to take with Renaplus??
-
Yes, laxatone is a petrolatum-based product that can be safely given with Renaplus for potassium replacement. If your pet is using laxatone for constipation, be aware that pets with constipation should not receive the tablet form of Renaplus. If your pet is constipated, speak with your veterinarian about the safest method to replace potassium.
