Dr. Elsey's Multi-Cat Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter

My girls is uber picky about her kitty potty. It took me quite some time to find the right litter for her. My boys had no issues. I tried Dr Elsey's at someone's suggestion. Immediate difference. Prior to Dr Elsey's she would poop on the floor after just 2 days with a freshly cleaned box, and scooping. No issues now. My boys would even use her box over their 2 until I completely switched.

Clump: here's where the problem lies. When the cat pees, the litter doesn't clump quick enough so the urine is able to reach the bottoms and/or sides of the litter box. Then it sticks and creates almost an adhesive to the box. When you try to remove the pee clump, you literally have to saw the clump off because it's stuck to the sides & bottom (I don't use liners). If you're lucky to get it out in one piece, that's a good day. Mostly, the urine clumps will come out in tiny pieces, slowly getting smaller & smaller until it's not able to be picked up by your scoop, so you wait until the litter box is dirty enough will all these little clumps before changing the entire litter.

It's a mess and so not worth it. Tracking: as with all litter, they pretty much track slightly depending on how your cat exits the litter box & what kind of box & mats you have. This is no different than other clumping litters I've tried, although maybe slightly better than the blue crystal gel litter (which gets everywhere). Smell: covers smell well, but only if your cat covers. If it's partially covered or not covered at all, the smell will carry. Dust: more dusty than other dust-free litters. If you're trying to stick to Dr. Elsey, I recommend another litter. This one makes me cough. Final thoughts: I recommend Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Ultra Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter (blue packaging). Combine this with a top entry litterbox and a good mat for the excess and there is barely any cleanup on a daily basis. I have 2 cats & one box & I clean it twice a day with minimal sweeping. … more

I would give it 5 stars had I not used Dr. Elsey's Respiratory Relief beforehand....I would recommend this product , though. Odor control is excellent, so is clumping, however as far as dust and tracking is concerned, I prefer Dr. Elsey's Respiratory Relief.

This litter is definitely unscented (I've bought some unscented that were definitely scented) and camouflages the smell well as far as I've experienced. It also doesn't track as much as most litters I've tried and it clumps well. I'll be sticking with this for a while.

Don't waste your $$$. This litter isexpensive, so I expected it would actually be good, no. It mushed and made such a mess. Not happy.

There is no perfect litter. At least not yet. I need low dust, and this litter fits that bill. It's also very low on tracking. But it's heavy. One of my cats has heavy urine output, and it makes the litter stick to the box. I had to change out the box sooner than with other litters, which means it adds a few cents to the cost. But I will continue to use it for the low dust and low tracking.

I love this litter and so do my cats! I had been using Tidy Cats Free and Clean for the last couple of years . Another great product but that one tracks like mad . I just assumes all litters did ? Then I tried this on my friends recommendation . I don’t think it’s clumps quite as well as the tidy cats but it does what it says .. a lot less tracking so I’m not constantly cleaning up . Both products are clumping litters and dust and fragrance free which is good . But the no tracking benefit trumps a little less clumping power in my humble opinion . So this is our new litter

I have to say I have tried using many kinds of litter, but all three of my cats preferred Dr. Elsey's. My really picky one, Buttercup, refused to use the litter box - -she did her business everywhere else but the box - took her to the vet, she had a little bit of UT, gave her antibotics and it cleared up but she still would not use the box --- until I used Dr. Elsey's litter!

I haven't been using this long enough to really know, but so far it seems like good stuff. Definitely no scent. It tracks a little more than the Clean Paws I had been using, but I like that this comes in a bag instead of an impossible to break down for recycling box. I wish it were a paper bag instead of plastic. I don't notice any dust when pouring, and the tracking is just around the litter box--I am not finding litter in my bed upstairs from sticking in the paws, like I do with some brands. It clumps hard, does not stick to the box (partly because I have the excellent CatIt box) and is easy to scoop. I am not sure, but I think I may be going through it faster than the Clean Paws brand, possibly I haven't been using this long enough to really know, but so far it seems like good stuff.
