I give my cats Petromalt for hairballs. They both like it and it's effective.
I see from product reviews on sites like Amazon that Sentry changed the formula when they bought the brand about eight months ago.why they would change the formula on something that has worked for decades is beyond me. I guess they thought the name alone was enough and decided to cheap out on the ingredients. They replaced the barley malt syrup with corn syrup and added gums and other thickening agents. The new stuff is runnier and a lot of cats that liked the old stuff hated it.
Apparently there were a lot of returns and consumer complaints and several Amazon reviews mentioned they called the company and were told it was going back to the old formula. According to the reports, the old formula should have started showing up on shelves by now.
My last old formula tube is almost gone. Has anyone bought Petromalt in the last couple of months and can confirm if it's the new or old stuff? The new stuff has corn syrup on the ingredients list, the old one doesn't. The ingredients are not listed on the packaging, you have to read them off the tube.
