Lax'aire is a soft, palatable gel formulated from liquid petrolatum, cod liver oil, soybean oil and peptonized iron blended into a flavored base. The formula is designed to lubricate the digestive tract, helping stool pass more easily in dogs and assisting cats in moving swallowed hair through the system instead of it collecting into hairballs. It is packaged in a squeezable tube so a small ribbon of gel can be dispensed directly, placed on a paw or nose to encourage licking, or mixed into a pet's food. No mixing, refrigeration, or preparation is required beyond dispensing the recommended amount, and the tube reseals between uses. It is intended for use in both dogs and cats as part of a broader routine that supports normal digestion. Because response can vary by pet and by the severity of constipation, guidance from a veterinarian is advisable for persistent or severe cases.
