What Is Petrolatum and Why Is It Included in Some Cat Supplements?Updated a month ago

We believe pet parents deserve clear, honest information about every ingredient

in our products — including why it’s there.

Petrolatum is a highly refined ingredient that has long been used in veterinary

hairball and digestive support products for cats. In our formula, it’s included in a

small amount for a specific functional purpose as part of the overall supplement

design.”

In some cat supplements, petrolatum may be used in small amounts to help:

•  Maintain a smooth texture
•  Support consistency during manufacturing
•  Improve palatability or product stability
•  Help keep ingredients evenly blended
•  Eases passage of ingested hair through the GI tract
•  Reduces frequency of hairball vomiting/retching
•  Provides mild relief for hairball-associated constipation

Cats can be especially sensitive to texture and mouthfeel, so carefully selected

supporting ingredients can help create a supplement that is easier to administer

consistently.

Every ingredient in our formulas is selected with purpose and evaluated for

quality, functionality, and intended use.
