Cat Lax is a soft, palatable gel made with cod liver oil and white petrolatum, along with caramel, lecithin, malt syrup, a small amount of sodium benzoate as a preservative, vitamin E as an antioxidant, and purified water. The formula is dispensed from a tube and is intended to help hair that a cat has ingested move through the digestive tract more easily, supporting normal elimination. Many cats accept the gel directly from the tube, while finicky cats can have a small amount placed on a paw to lick off. The tube should be kept tightly closed between uses, with the tip kept away from other surfaces to avoid contamination. No assembly is required, and the product is intended for feline use only. A veterinarian can offer guidance on frequency and amount for individual cats.
