Sickened my cat. Terrible product!, About a week after purchasing Scoop Away's "fragrance free" variety, my cats were losing their fur, having terrible diarrhea, and losing weight. After several unsuccessful visits to the vet, it dawned on me that it might be the litter: that they were overgrooming to get the 'itchy' litter dust off their fur, thus getting it into their digestive systems and getting sick. I decided to try switching to another brand and my cats fully recovered. There should be more information about the health problems associated with this litter - I feel like a terrible owner for exposing my cats to this brand. I will NEVER purchase Scoop Away again.
Not "unscented" or "free of perfume", This litter has a very perfumey odor. If you are looking for unscented litter, don't get this.
Why we like Scoop Away Free, We've been using Scoop Away unscented litter for several years. We love it and the cats like it too! The box is easy to clean -- we just do a little "treasure hunt" for their pee and poo balls with a metal scooper. And Scoop Away's unscented litter is so much less annoying than the nasty scented stuff.
Another benefit of using this type of litter is that we use far less than we used to. We scoop the box daily, and the pee and poo balls stay intact and are easy to remove, thus the litter stays cleaner longer.
My only complaints: the unscented "Free" version can be hard to find as most stores carry only the stinky stuff. And it can be a bit dusty -- but then that's been our experience with all scoopable litters.
(Suggestions: put a 3x5 plastic drop cloth underneath the box to make it easy to sweep up any spill, and use a metal tray (available in restaurant supply stores) as a litter box --metal doesn't absorb odors the way plastic does, and the box will last indefinitely.
14-lb box..
