This cat litter is perfect for multi-cat households and those cat parents with sifting or mechanical litter boxes. With its superior odor control, you can be sure your home will always smell fresh and clean.
Key Benefits- 99.9% dust free, hypo-allergenic natural litter to keep your surfaces clean and perfect for families who suffer from allergies.
- Hard clumping, medium-grain clay makes it the perfect clumping litter that helps prevent moisture.
- Multi-cat formula and superior odor control keeps your home smelling clean and fresh day in and day out.
- Ideal for sifting and mechanical litter boxes so it’s easier for you to dispose of your kitty’s waste.
- Forms hard clumps that don’t break down making easier to scoop up and clean the box twice daily.
Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling used cat litter, as cat feces may contain Toxoplasma gondii—a parasite that can cause toxoplasmosis. Pregnant or nursing women, as well as children and anyone with a weakened immune system, should avoid handling used cat litter. Always handle litter in a ventilated area to avoid inhalation. Keep contents and packaging out of reach of children and pets. Seek medical help in case of accidental ingestion.

I've periodically tried different litters just for the heck of it. It wasn't until I purchased a bag from a different brand that neither of my cats would use that I really appreciated this particular Dr. Elsey's Ultra Clumping litter. As an experiment I put a different litter in each of the 3 litter boxes (2 had Dr. Elsey's litter). The Ultra Clumping Litter was hands down their favorite. Dr. Elsey's Touch of Outdoors was their second favorite. The World's Best Litter they wouldn't even step in the box! All the litters were unscented, regular litter... not pine, wheat, corn or any other kind of unusual litter. They preferred the boxes with days old Dr. Elsey's litter (cleaned several times throughout I've periodically tried different litters just for the heck of it.

I was looking for a litter with less dust that still clumped well. This product had great reviews so I decided to try it. I was very pleased with the clumping ability and low dust, but the smell from my litter box was simply intolerable. It wasn’t a poo or urine smell, it was a very odd, terrible smelling odor that was created once my cats urinated on the litter. I tried using litterbox odor control products, but they did not help at all. I have 4 XL boxes for my cats and clean them daily. I’ve never had such a weird smell come from my litterbox so I’m positive it’s the litter itself causing the odor. I switched back to my old litter, and the dust is back, but the odor is completely gone.

...But it works nice! The pitch is the corny "Ye Olde' Doctors" schtick, which I feel is very outdated...so I was primed to hate it. But nevermind: despite the advertising, the clay clumping litter does as a it should just as the many reviews say. It's clay. It clumps. It tracks less than some do. It doesn't smell bad. Cats don't sneeze. Only complaint? It uses up super fast! With huge,hard clumps, designed to get u to buy more? 2x as fast as most:and a small bag weighs 20#. ++Chewy as always is fast and friendly ++

This is the best litter that I have ever used. I have tried others that are a little less expensive but I keep coming back to this one. It is unscented so my cats and I love that! The clumping is good and so is the odor absorption. The best part about ordering from Chewy (beside the fact that it is the least expensive) is that this litter is delivered to my door! I don't have to load it in the cart, put it in my car, and then unload when I get home....It is delivered to my door, I get the dolly and bring it in the house, unload other items and use the dolly to carry the litter to the garage. Saves my back!

I have used this cat litter for the last several years. I switched from Scoop Away to this after reading the positive reviews. I have to also say that I purchased the Frisco cat litter several times and at first liked it, but then it went downhill, so I went back to Dr. Elsey. They must have changed the litter ingredients as it is now full of tiny pieces of clay, instead of small like grains of sand. It doesn't clump the way it used to and the urine smell was so strong whereas before I never had an issue with the odor. So something has changed. Now I am buying Arm and Hammer Double Duty, hoping that it does the clumping job and keeps the odors at bay.

So sorry Dr. Elsey's but you have lost a customer due to your litter not cutting it anymore. … more

I wanted to like this, based on the reviews, but it's not much better than most disappointing clay litters. It does seem relatively low dust, but the liquid settles on the bottom of the box and it's like trying to "scoop" cement. I'm always fearful I'll break the litter scoop while basically scraping it from the bottom, sides and corner of the litterbox, and then it hangs onto the scoop in a wet glob. I think I need to go back to World's Best. I wish I hadn't purchased the 40-lb. bag. I just hate clay litters. But thank you, Chewy, for the always speedy service.

I have 1 ragdoll cat and I've been using this litter since I got him almost a year ago. Chewy sent me the wrong litter one time (frisco scoopable cat litter) and I went ahead and used it because it was time to change the box. I have always had trouble with the odor control of Dr. Elsey's after a couple of days after changing the whole box, but thought that was how it was with litter boxes because this is the first time owning a cat. I scoop the box every day. However, when I used Frisco's I realized that I wasn't smelling the odor anymore. It is lighter weight than Dr. Elsey's so there's a little more tracking, but I'd rather deal with that than the odor.

I must have tried 10 different types of litter in the last few months (luckily, my cat didn't mind it). I was looking for something that was scent-free, dust free, and clumped well. None of the other brands that I tried really delivered what they promised. Except for this one. Dust is minimal and clumps so well that sometimes is hard to scoop, but I don't mind it. I only wish it was lightweight (it's hard to move the bag around).

I have the Litter Robot mechanical litter box. It rotates like a cement mixer and drops the waste into a drawer below. In order for it to work properly it needs good clumping litter. Dr. Elsey’s fits the bill. It forms hard clumps that easily fall into the waste drawer. It rarely cakes on the walls making my job alot easier. All I do is knot the waste bag, replace it and I’m good to go. This will be my forever litter.

Our kitty Pablo struggles with sensitive skin and severe allergies. After developing a horrible rash from using a cheaper litter with overpowering artificial scents, we needed to find a better option. Research (and a vet visit) introduced us to Dr. Elsey's, and we will never go back. The litter does everything we need from a use perspective--it clumps well, does a good job with odor guarding, and best of all, it's safe for our cats. No more irritations, allergy flare ups, or trips to the vet. It's pricier than some of the other options out there, but definitely worth it for the benefits for our kitties.
