Congratulations, Madison and her staff, Cindy, winners of the “Who’s your Favorite Furball?” contest in honor of today, National Hairball Awareness Day. Madison will receive a FURminator DeShedding Tool, courtesy of FURminator, Inc. to keep her coat beautiful and hairballs to a minimum.
Here was Cindy’s entry:
“My favorite furball’s name is Madison. As you can see maintaining a spotless supermodel body and fur coat are hard work for the average Tabby. Madison takes her grooming incredibly seriously as she must look purrfect at all times. You never know when In Style or Vogue are going to call and she is always ready for her next close up.
However, as you can imagine nothing looks worse than a supermodel choking on yesterday’s hair. It just is not very ladylike and it makes you so embarrassed!
Madison says, ‘I want the FURminator as that is the ultimate in grooming accessories and I would love to have my people use it on me every single day (when they are not fixing my dinner or scooping my box)‘ ”
Thank you to EVERYONE who entered, donated money and supported the promotion of the contest. The rescues thank you!
xoxo,
Romeo & Pugsley
In honor of today, I’ve dug into the archives to share with you photos of Pug and moi at our furriest. You’ve probably only known us when we have shorter hair because my female staff manager is allergic and unfortunately, less furry, fuzzy, fabulous fur means less stuffy nose for her. And, honestly, fewer stupid hairballs. But now that we have the FURminator Pugs and I think we might remain a little floofier.
Anyway check out the hairball prevention tips below and share with your friends! AND tune in at Noon today, EST to find out the winner of the “Who’s your Favorite Furball?” contest!
It’s no coincidence we’re in the same wonderful nap spot. When someone finds a good new spot, the other one usually hijacks it. Who do you think does the nap spot hijacking?
Today is the last day to enter the “Who’s your Favorite Furball?” contest in honor of National Hairball Awareness Day! Winners receive a FREE FURminator DeShedding Tool and will be featured here, on www.PeoplePets.com and on blogs across the Internet! Details on how to enter here.
Now, onto the educational portion of today’s post. With peak shedding season underway, we furry guys are in full swing when it comes to grooming ourselves, which means an increase in hairballs.
FURminator has offered the following tips for preventing and caring for those nasty, ooky hairballs!
1. Regular Grooming: Hairballs occur when cats over groom. To help cats look and feel their best, it’s essential to regularly brush them. The FURminator deShedding Tool for Cats is recommended by vets and nominated by Tufts University School of Veterinarian Medicine as the number one product to reduce hairballs in cats. Using the tool on a regular basis, as well as the FURminator deShedding Shampoo for Cats, will help reduce shedding, thus reducing the amount of hair your cat ingests.
2. Home Remedies: Try adding a little butter and canned pumpkin to your cat’s meals once or twice a week. The butter may loosen the hair clod and the fiber in the pumpkin can help move it through the system.
3. Stay Hydrated: Encourage your cat to drink plenty of water by placing various bowls throughout the house. The water will help flush out the hair before it has time to clump in the stomach.
4. Consult Your Vet: If you believe you cat has chronic hairball problems, ask your veterinarian to recommend a laxative supplement to help prevent ingested hairs from forming hairballs.
The photo above is me getting FURminated by my male staff member. This was just at the beginning of the process too! Hooray for hairball reduction!
