I have a senior himalayan who used to have a horrible time with vomiting and furballs. Since switching her food to Wellness, Grain Free varieties, she has decreased her shedding enormously and she rarely gets a furball.
I use a fur comb on her about once a week to get out the loose undercoat and brush her daily with a human wire brush. She waits patiently in the bathroom every morning for her brushing as I do it as soon as I am finished doing my hair. It's like "girl time", lol. It gets out the loose fur so she is not consuming it when she grooms herself.
Whoops forgot to mention, that Puddles used to eat mostly kibble, but since changing her to canned, her bowel movements have been so much easier for her, that may help pass furballs to.
