Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Respiratory Relief Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter, 20-lb box

I am super, super happy with how litter has Worked so well for the cat. When we had taken her in the people who had under previously didn’t take care of her she had allergies so she would scratch your face to the point where it would have no hair she has some skin lesions and she was just irritated all the time. All they would do what they would take her to the vet and they were just throw a steroid injection in her and call it good. Being a veterinarian technician I know the causing effects of steroid injections in the past few and steroid injections that she’s received haven’t given her much relief and I don’t like the idea of just throwing steroid injections at something because knowing that I am super, super happy with how litter has Worked so well for the cat.

But if you can solve the problem and try different things and see what they respond too they try. I mean some problems can’t be solved for allergies but it’s worth a try if you can try it. After switching her over to a better higher quality food and switching her over to this litter this hypoallergenic litter has changed her life, she is full of spirit and love again. Her face looks amazing and her fur is back and she’s not as itchy. Only downfall is I wish it came in a bigger bag! … more

When I poured this litter into a freshly cleaned empty box a cloud of dust came billowing up. I specifically purchase this product because it was advertised as being good for respiratory issues in cats with low dust but I don’t see how that is possible when it has more dust than the other brand I was using when pouring it. I am not rating it in its clumping capacity, smell, tracking etc as I’m not using it bc of the dust. So far Boxiecat and Arm and Hammer Cloud Control are far superior to this product.

Decided to try this. My19 year old wont step on it, it IS pretty jagged big pieces compared to the other litters I’ve been using and I guess his toes are soft. I guess it was like walking in broken glass for him! He wanted no part of it so I had to go out and buy litter for him. The other two used it but they have a habit of peeing in a corner... this turns into Instant Concrete! If not caught quick (I scoop 2xdaily)you had to use your back to really “shovel it out of there!” i was worried I would break my scoop! I had to really muscle it! I have 2 boxes for 3 cats. This litter is dusty, it’s tracked all over my house every morning, I can smell the poop (as it happens) 2 rooms away! It doesn’ Decided to try this.

It reminds me of the dollar store litter I used to get back in the lean days. Never again. Going back to Tidy Cat. I was using Slide Litter but it seemed to keep a strange kind of “dampness”. With slide...My cat was sneezing and I was even having runny noses (with an air purifier going all night in there) so it was time to switch! Too bad because I did like it, it just freaked me out. Now the runny nose and kitty sneezes have stopped but this litter is the pits! After using it for 3 days now... I’ve ordered different litter! This is garbage! … more

This is a great lowdust litter..I keep a mat for tracking..but it doesn't track that bad..I dont mind sweeping up little tracking for the low dust relief for my cat snowball n myself..It clumps well...Me n my cat snowball love this litter...Highly recommend

I selected this liter because the fragrance and dust of my previous liter was just too much for me and for my cat who was having asthma. This product clumps very hard and has NO dust! If that wasn’t enough it amazingly traps the odors with out the perfumes. The liter box is adjacent to our living area right now and we can’t even smell a fresh “go”. The old liter not only had strong perfume but that really didn’t even help the odor. I am so so pleased with this liter. It does track but less than even “trackless” liter. I would definitely recommend.

I purchased this litter because of dust and how much my cat sneezes. This litter has a little dust still to it. It is not bad compared to many other litters I have used. I purchased 2 boxes of this (one from a pet store since I couldn't wait for shipping, had to send one cat to kitty heaven this weekend and needed immediate litter box swapping/cleaning). One box was a tad duster than the other, but still not bad. My 14 year old cat took to the litter very well and so far he has only produced pee. The litter clumped very well and it was easy to scoop. I am hoping this will be our forever litter now.

I bought this litter for a box I have in a home office. Working from home I was breathing in dust from the litter I was buying. There was dust everywhere and the cat had watery eyes all the time. When I switched to this, everything was cleaner and better.

I bought this because my cat has serious allergy problems, mostly skin & food allergies. My vet recommended switching to a hypoallergenic cat litter. I did my due diligence & research & this litter consistently came up in the top 3. I liked that it also had “herbal essences” added to the litter which is supposed to help with stress..which my vet said contributed to my cats skin allergies. Since I have multiple cats and multiple boxes I decided to try 2 other top rated hypoallergenic litters in different boxes in different areas at the same time. The other two I tried were Frisco’s multi cat unscented & Dr. Elseys Ultra cat unscented. This one was the worst. 1st: for 99.9% dust free-there’s still I bought this because my cat has serious allergy problems, mostly skin & food allergies.

Lastly this litter is quite expensive, especially if you have multiple cats, but I was willing to pay-if it was worth it. I like Dr. Elseys Ultra unscented much better, it tracks less, smells better, less dust and less money....Frisco’s multi cat unscented is just as good as Dr. Elseys Ultra & even less money & it’s a consistently top rated hypoallergenic cat litter! Hope this helps someone. … more

First of all, I have always thought Dr. Elsey's was a good, trustworthy brand name, but not anymore. This litter is terrible. Not even remotely dust-free, I don't even consider it low-dust. It's also not very effective at odor control. I ordered 4 boxes of this stuff from Chewy to get free shipping, and now I'm stuck with 60 lbs. of litter that is useless for my two asthmatic cats. I guess I'll start experimenting again. BTW, my next experiment took place earlier today. I bought a brand that says "100% dust-free" right on the box. Guess what? NOT! Although, when I poured it, it did seem to release a smaller dust cloud than Dr. Elsey's, but it was still unacceptable, IMO.

Hooray! No dust, no scent and a cleverly designed box that's easy to handle. (the handle is on the side of the box which makes it easier to pour litter into the box). I have bought other supposedly clumping and unscented cat litters in the past that were neither of those things. Happy to find this product.
