5 Myths About Cat Paste

Dispel myths

• Myth #1. The paste is prescribed for removing hair.

Reality. Hair removal is only one of the problems that are solved with the help of pastes. There are pastes for the treatment and prevention of urolithiasis, to combat stress, to normalize digestion. And also vitamin pastes for every day. They are used as healthy treats: they provide the body with nutrients and keep it in good shape.

• Myth #2. Pasta can only be given to adult cats, according to indications.

Reality. A veterinarian can prescribe a therapeutic and prophylactic paste for a cat. For example, in order to avoid recurrence of urolithiasis or with a lack of taurine in the body. But vitamin treats for every day can be used by absolutely all cats to prevent beriberi and support immunity. In addition, there are special pastes for kittens and older animals.

Pasta is a product for all needs at all stages of a cat’s life.

• Myth #3. The paste stimulates vomiting.

Reality. This myth has developed around problems with hairballs in the stomach – bezoars. When a cat has this problem, they may feel sick. Through vomit, the body tries to clear itself of wool in the stomach. But it has nothing to do with pasta.

Hair removal paste does not stimulate vomiting. Instead, it detangles and “dissolves” the hairs in the stomach and removes them from the body naturally. And if the paste contains malt extract (as in the GimCat malt paste), then, on the contrary, it helps to eliminate vomiting.

• Myth number 4. It is difficult for a cat to give paste, because. she’s tasteless.

Reality. Cats are happy to eat pasta themselves, for them it is very attractive. We can say that pasta is a liquid delicacy, that is, both a treat and vitamins.

• Myth number 5. In the composition of the pastes one chemistry.

Reality. Pastas are different. Pastes from quality brands are made without added sugar, artificial flavors, colors, preservatives and lactose. This is a useful, natural product.
