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.

Turns to "cement"/hard to scoop

This litter is awful. I gave two stars instead of one because it does what it says and "clumps". However, urine+this litter turns sticks to the bottom of the litter

This litter is awful. I gave two stars instead of one because it does what it says and "clumps". However, urine+this litter turns sticks to the bottom of the litter box so hard I have to use significant force. I'm thankful I'm using both a stainless steel scoop and a stainless steel litter box because I fear I would crack or snap plastic ones with how hard this litter gets. Also, I probably need to wear safety glasses now when scooping the litter box because it feels inevitable with the amount of force required that I will eventually also shoot myself in the face with feces and urine-filled litter one of these days. The clumps are more the consistency of really sticky wet clay than the hard clumps of most litter so small pieces also glop off and go through the sieve of the scoop. Overall this litter makes the already unpleasant task of scooping a little box much worse.

We’ve been using Dr. Elsey’s Unscented Litter in our home and cattery, and it has been an excellent choice especially for kittens and multi cat households. The unscented formula is a huge plus. There’s no artificial fragrance to irritate sensitive noses, and it allows you to actually monitor litter box habits without odors being masked. It clumps well, making daily cleaning easy, and helps keep boxes noticeably cleaner with less waste. Dust control has also been impressive. With kittens and adult cats using the boxes frequently, minimizing dust is important for respiratory health, and this litter performs very well in that area. Overall, this has been a reliable, consistent litter that supports a clean, low-stress environment for cats of all ages. It’s become a staple for us, and we feel confident recommending it to families bringing home a new kitten.

Disappointed

I finally, after what seems like forever, find a litter that works good for me, and now it seems you've changed the formula you use for making it. Before the pieces were bigger but now it's just like sand. The clumps break apart so easily now and the tracking is off the charts. I always buy a 40 lb bag and my litter box took anywhere from 36 to 38 lb. This time it took all 40 lb plus some. It seems like every time I find a decent litter this happens and I honestly do not understand. When you have a good product that works well why would you change it into something that no longer does? If it's to save money then you're stupid because you're not going to save anything when you start losing customers. You've already lost one today!

I'm always looking for a good deal with 17 cats to caretake for. Dr. Elsey's has never let me down in all the years I have been using them. And, ALL the cats are willing to use it. Easy clean up and extremely good at trapping smells. Best part is that they have also maintained their low price across several years while others have raised theirs to stupid levels. This company actually cares about giving all of us a chance to care for cats.

Money Loss

I have bought this litter twice in different occasions and it’s not my favorite. I have two cats (a female and male, one shared litter box) 1 full bag lasts me about 3 weeks before it starts to smell, with a good amount still in the bin. Approximately, maybe 1-2 weeks left of usage. The smell is outrageous. The litter itself doesn’t hold the smell and more like airs it out to the rest of my home. Side note: it does clump great. It does last 3 weeks in a multi-cat home before starting fresh again, Which is better than other brands in my trials. But again, not my favorite.

Switched Litter for the first time

Overall, I'm pleased with Dr. Elsey's Ultra Unscented Clumping Clay Litter. I switched from Scoop Away because litter was forming clumps in my senior cat's toes as she's not grooming herself well. I tried Dr. Elsey's based upon my vet's recommendation- I really wanted the Senior formulation but was unable to find it- and so far, it has worked well. I still monitor my cat's paws, but I have noticed less clumping between her toes. The bag is heavy and awkward to pour from. It would be nice if boxes were available.

Dangerous

We highly do not recommend this litter to those who have the hunch that you may have a sensitive cat as this litter carries dust heavily. Not only did this litter

We highly do not recommend this litter to those who have the hunch that you may have a sensitive cat as this litter carries dust heavily. Not only did this litter cause frequent sneezing from out cats, but it gave our Anakin a pink eye infection that we must now treat. Do not purchase this litter if you do not want to risk infections in your cats.

I love it! No dust, nothing getting in my lungs. No icky perfumes. My cats won't go in the litter box with Dr. Elsey's though! Only the one with Slide Litter - which I've used for years. Dr. Elsey's is a larger grain than the Slide litter. I have high hopes they will use it. I am going to try mixing some Slide in Dr. Elseys

It really is dust free!

We just switched over to Dr Elsey’s Ultra Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter when we moved and we have been absolutely loving it. This litter truly is dust free!

We just switched over to Dr Elsey’s Ultra Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter when we moved and we have been absolutely loving it. This litter truly is dust free! I suffer from asthma and our old litter was causing so much dust whenever we would refill it or when our cats would be digging in the litter box. If it affected me I could not imagine how it affected our cats. We have been really focused on our cat’s health. When they tried pine pellets they absolutely hated them. We wanted an alternative that would be healthy and as dust free as possible. We have three cats and they all love it. We don’t experience “litter box smell” in our house and guests have reported the same when we have asked. I like that the litter grains are bigger so it makes cleaning up the litter around the litter box a lot easier. I would highly recommend making this switch!

Tracks all over my home

I bought this litter with high hopes that this would not track, and it is low dust. Within a couple days I seen dust on both my cats paws, and MAN does this stuff track ALL OVER my home. Yes, I’ve even trimmed my cats fur back on their paws as well. I’ll be going back to the finer “sand” type litter. Never buying “gravel” type litter again. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to sweep all this stuff up out of my floor.
