The Litter Cats Love

Dr. Elsey’s believes litter can be loved—by cats and their owners. They’re on a mission to help keep cats in loving homes by providing proven, veterinarian-formulated solutions.

They Speak for Cats

Dr. Elsey’s puts heart, soul, and science into every product to solve the complex needs of pets. Every problem calls for a solution, whether it’s bringing a fussy cat back to the box, keeping paws free of dust, or fueling pets’ ancestral dietary needs.

Bring Your Cat Back to the Box

A problem cat is one who chooses not to use the litter box. There are three likely causes: medical ailments, territorial marking, or behavioral issues. Cat Attract helps fight litter box aversion and bring cats back with a natural herb blend.

About Dr. Elsey’s

Dr. Elsey’s is a veterinarian-owned brand dedicated to meeting the complex needs of cats. Founded in 1987 with the first all-natural clumping cat litter, their line has since grown to include a variety of products for cats at every stage of life.

I’ve had cats my whole life and this litter is by far my favorite. No strong odor, clumps good and it’s soft and fine so that it is easy on their paws. And our feet too for that matter. Because as cat parents know, no matter what you do, litter is going to get outside the box. But with this kind it’s gentle, not like some litters where you feel like you stepped on sharp rocks.

REGULAR LUTTER COVERED UP BY BABY PICK PACKAGING, THE WORD SENSITIVE

The granules are just as rough and course as the regular Dr. Elseys litter... it's the same and rather than help my 3 year old sensitive son, whom I love beyond

The granules are just as rough and course as the regular Dr. Elseys litter... it's the same and rather than help my 3 year old sensitive son, whom I love beyond comprehension, it backfired and my son rebelled by not using his litter boxes let alone even go near them... luckily I went through 3 more brands and found a mixture he is slowly accepting... please "Dr. Elsey" a trip to the production line would be wise!

I have four cats and now they won't use the old litter at all. Plus, Lilly never used to cover her poop and now she does. It appears the peeing outside the box has also stopped. Georgie is ten, and her paws were getting sensitive.

Absolute Godsend!

Long story short, our cat has always had issues with pooping in the box ever since he was a kitten. We found out recently he was diagnosed with pillow foot. We have done everything in our power to ensure pooping in the box is an achievable goal for Tito. Late night research led me to Dr. Elsey which has been a real dream come true. Tito has been pooping in the box since we switched out litter and we couldn’t be more proud of him! This litter also benefits our asthmatic cat, Corine as well due to there being no dust with topping off and scooping. Definitely a 10 out of 10 recommendation for this litter. And if anyone is curious what our delicate boy looks like, photo added!

Best soft litter that doesn’t attract bugs

My cats don’t necessarily have sensitive paws; but they LOVE this litter. I was using natural litters like walnut or the Sustainably Yours. The walnut was super dusty and the Sustainably Yours attracted gnats in the summer despite clean their litterboxes 2-3 times per day. I found this litter, and I tested one litterbox with just this, and all the cats only want to use the box with this litter. I know it’s not “eco friendly”; but it’s way less dust than the walnut litter! It clumps very well, odor control is good. The only downside is that it does track, but not too bad because it’s heavier weight. Also, when I do a full clean each month, I can’t dispose of the leftover litter outside in the woods because it’s not biodegradable. Other than those things; this litter gets 6 paws up!

My cat is very particular about the litter he uses. He doesn’t like rocky coarse litter nor anything with a scent. His regular litter was sold out at a chain pet food store. I searched every store within a 15 mile radius and his litter was out of stock. I came across this litter in a Google search and found out that Chewy carried it. I looked at the reviews and most people seemed satisfied so I decided to give it a try. It arrived in a couple of days. When I opened the bag I was surprised how fine the litter was. My cat loved it! Chewy came to the rescue. This is my cat’s new litter from here on out. Good things can come from bad circumstances. Thank you Chewy!

Disappointed

I had higher hopes and expectations. It does not have any odor control whatsoever and it did not help my cat, who is extremely small with her sensitive (toe beans)

I had higher hopes and expectations. It does not have any odor control whatsoever and it did not help my cat, who is extremely small with her sensitive (toe beans) feets. She is always jumping and shaking her feet off. I was hopeful this litter would be round and smooth but its not. Coupled with the lack of odor control its an absolute waste. Oh but it did clump Ok.

IT WORKS!

My cat has been pooping outside of the box for the longest time and is FINALLY going in the box! No smell, no dust, I love this litter so much!
