  • AMAZING PRODUCT I have 3 cats and I have tried every kind of litter.
    Best litter out there Since we have 5 cats and one of them is extremely picky about a clean litter box I've tried just about every kind of litter out there. This is the very best one I found. It clumps very hard so the clumps are easy to scoop without breaking up. It also is great for odor control. The cats also love it I tried it in one box first as an experiment and the cats ALL abandoned every other box in favor of that one.The only issue I have is that it throws up a lot of dust when you first put it in the box. Aside from that it's great.
    Zero Stars damages health This stuff is horrible. I ran out of my usual litter Costco and got this to fill in. Eeechhh! STINKS! Smells like someone broke a bottle of cheap perfume in the house. I know how sensitive cat noses are and I felt guilty even pouring a little in their box. They must have had to hold their breaths because I couldn't breath around this stuff. Second dust! Again between the strong perfume and dust this was a killer. I was gagging and sneezing trying to pour this. I have asthma so it litterally was killing me.Third and most important I ran across some blogs that warned about the dangers of clumping clay and silica litters. My youngest of my three cats is almost 10they've been using clumping clay all their lives. I lost one two years ago to severe respiratory problems and I never connected it to the litter. I can't prove it anyway.However my other cat developed a slight cough which he never did before so I took him in after Cujo died at age 7 I wait for nothing to take them to the vet. After an Xray is was determined that he his windpipes were so inflamed he was having trouble breathing. The vet told me to switch litters immediately. The benzonite silica in these clumping clay litters that causes the clumping is attracted to moisture and clumps immediately. When you or your cat breathe it it it attempts to clump your lungs my vet told me. Of course it's made worse with covered boxes I have the Booda dome. The damage is irreversible. Additionally the dust from these litters gets on your cat's fur and is licked off. This stuff eventually ends up in the gut where it does not move or dissolve but merely builds up to block digestion. And one more the clay must be strip mined and cannot be recycled or composted or flushedso back to the landfill it goes. I used to toss 23 pounds of clayclumped pee and poo daily with 34 cats. I switched to Feline Pine and now toss about 3 oz. of sawdust and poo daily. Big difference. If I had a garden I could compost it. Or flush it but I would advise anyone against flushing litter especially in CA goes straight to the ocean and there's some big movement about how flushable litters kill sea ottersbut that's another story.
    Good Kitty Litter That Works Well Recommended! Fresh Step Cat Litter works well at reducing the unpleasant scents from the litter box. It clumps as expected and holds together when being scooped out.The cats like it too which is important.
    The best litter. Period. After trying this product I don't mess around with anything else. It has eliminated all cat box odor completely! Even on those really hot humid days if you are a cat owner you KNOW what I am talking about.
    Good for odor but very DUSTY!! I tried this cat litter based on reviews I read online. I have 2 cats 2 litter boxes. My cats were new to my home and had used a clay type litter at the animal shelter. They accepted the Fresh Step easily. I tried the multicat version. The scented litter had a very strong perfume smell. Knowing that cat's noses are sensitive I started mixing it with the unscented Fresh Step. This was better.
    Not good for if you have young kittens I have been using this litter for several years and I love it. It clumps great and has outstanding odor control my litter box is down stair and I have four cats. My house never smells of cat urine or feces and people are surprised that I have four cats and how my house does not smell like I have cats.Note If you have young kittens DONT use any clumping litter because kittens just like human babies put everything in their mouth and when they come across any litter that got tracked onto the floor they will eat it and unless they receive immediate medical attention they will die.
    Hernia Inducing Cat Litter I used Fresh Step cat litter for many years and was quick to tell any of my cat owner friends that it was the best bang for the buck litter. It clumped hard making the chore of cleaning the cat box a relatively easy one. Sometime around 6 months ago that all changed. Now it forms a sludge in the cat box that is nearly impossible to scrape out. The amount of effort necessary to clean the box could easily induce a muscle strain or hernia for those unfortunate enough to purchase this litter. Interestingly after having this experience twice because I thought maybe I just got a bad batch the first time I turned to Scoop Away which I always considered to be a similarly good product only to find the exact same thing. What the heck? Turns out both products are made by the Clorox Pet products Co.
    My dog loves it I have a small dog I've trained to use a litter box. She's taken to it well. I've used this litter for years great stuff. Does the job as advertised.
    excellent clumping litter for your cat's everyday needs I used Fresh Step clay litter for quite a while but I decided to try this clumping litter when it was recently on sale at the store. This Fresh Step Premium clumping cat litter is excellent for your favorite kitty's litter box. The company states that it is very good at absorbing odorsand by golly it's TRUE! The odors are minimal at the very most and it is quite comfortable even for my rather sensitive cat. Moreover I really like how the litter has the capacity to absorb and prevent odor causing bacteria in the litter before my cat even uses his litter box.If you have more than one cat the manufacturer does recommend not surprisingly that you use more cat litter in the box. Otherwise if you have just one cat two or three inches worth of this cat litter spread about evenly throughout the empty litter box will do fine. You should change the entire litter box once a week on average. I change mine about twice a week just for my cat's comfort.It's also a good idea to scoop out any kitty remains every other day or so. If you can do it every day that's even better. Be very certain NOT to flush any kitty presents down the toilet as the manufacturer warns against this. I suppose it could clog toilet pipes. Moreover as you may suspect any kitty leftovers could have some nasty germs that we don't want so wash your hands really carefully after you clean the box or even after you just remove any kitty presents with a scooper.I recommend changing the entire litter box at least once a week.
