Chauncey, Siamese Cat had Hairballs and Shedding

Cat Hairballs and Shedding: How Chauncey the Balinese Found His Shine

Chauncey is a Balinese cat with Siamese bloodlines and three inches of beautiful hair — or at least, it's beautiful now. For almost three years his owner B. Smith of Florida dealt with heavy shedding and large hairballs. She was skeptical when she tried Nzymes Antioxidant Treats. Sixty days later, she wrote this.

What happened after three years of hairballs — and 60 days on Nzymes?

For almost three years I have been fighting shedding and hairballs with my cat. He was bringing up large and long hairballs. Honestly, I did not think the Nzymes Antioxidant Treats were going to work, but they worked great.

My Chauncey has Siamese bloodlines, but the breed is Balinese. His hair is about three inches long. I have now been using this product for 60 days, and my cat’s coat has a shine to it. He does not bring up hair balls or shed anymore.

Why did addressing shedding also solve the hairball problem?

The connection between coat health and hairballs

Hairballs in cats are a direct consequence of shedding — and shedding is, at its root, a nutrition issue. When a cat's coat is healthy at the follicle level, the hair is stronger, grows more evenly, and sheds far less. A cat that sheds less ingests significantly less fur during grooming. Less fur ingested means fewer hairballs to contend with.

Nzymes Antioxidant Treats support coat health by providing the live-food protein that enables the body's own natural production of antioxidant enzymes — the same cellular processes that support healthy skin, hair follicles, and coat quality from the inside out. The improvement Chauncey's owner noticed in his coat's shine was the visible sign of that internal improvement. The end of the hairballs was the practical result.

Tiny Treats are purrfect for cats too.

Chauncey used the standard Antioxidant Treats — the same formula that has supported dogs and cats since Nzymes began. For cats and small dogs, we now offer the same formula in a smaller size: Antioxidant Treats for Small Dogs and Cats, sometimes called Tiny Treats. Same live-enzyme superfood nutrition. Half the size. Much easier to give to a cat. The product page includes a usage calculator to find the right daily amount for your pet.

Does your cat deal with excessive shedding or hairballs?

Chauncey's story is a reminder that hairball problems are often a coat problem in disguise — and coat problems are a nutrition problem at their root. For more on how foundational live-enzyme nutrition addresses shedding from the inside out — in cats and dogs alike — see our article on how to stop dog hair shedding. The same principles apply.

For cats also dealing with joint stiffness or mobility concerns alongside coat issues, see our article on cat joint health and mobility.
