National Hairball Awareness Day 2024

Reason to celebrate: April 25, 2024 is National Hairball Awareness Day.

Hairball Awareness Day is really a time for you to think about the grooming challenges in our purr-fectly aristocratic pets. Being beautiful and regal comes naturally to cats, but plenty of personal grooming is needed to keep that exquisite superior look. Newborn cats are groomed within inches of the lives by passionate mother felines, and individual hygiene becomes an ingrained area of the cat’s daily routine ranking above everything except food. Ferocious grooming causes ingestion of fur, and eventually, inside a most unbecoming way, the haughty, dignified feline will hack up a hairball.Hairball Awareness Day is definitely an invitation to keep yourself informed and also to practice preventative measures to assist cat through this nasty process. Practice regular grooming having a pet brush to lessen the quantity of consumed fur, and provide a vet-suggested diet for hairball prevention. Remember that periodic hairballs should be expected, but frequent hairballs could indicate an issue.
