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.

Questions & Answers

17 Customer Questions


Has the branding changed on the Senior bags?

Answer by CatherineJan 03, 2025
Yes. From blue bag to white bag.

How does this help prevent kidney failure?

Answer by ChewyMar 12, 2018
Urinary infections are one of the causes of kidney failure in cats. The litter grows no bacteria and it does not stick to the coat of the cat. By using this litter, the cat is able to keep their genitals cleaner which in turn will decrease urinary tract infections and lower their risk of kidney failure.

I'm used to clumping litter. How do you clean the litter box and how frequently must you completely change the litter?

Answer by ChewyJan 08, 2019
You should remove solid waste daily and rake crystals to ensure freshness. One application of litter will typically last two weeks depending upon use. After two weeks, completely dump the contents of the box and wash with mild soap and hot water.

How do you determine how much litter is needed? I have 3 cats (16, 16, & 20), multiple UTIs per cat, 2 younger in 1st stage renal failure, one of the 2 also has hypertension & hyperthyroidism. Pretty Litter states 1 - 8lb bag/box = 24 lbs/month. Is your product similar?

Answer by ChewySep 11, 2020
Dr. Elsey recommends filling your litter box with 1 inch of litter. A single litter box filled with Dr. Elsey's Senior can handle multiple cats but we recommend using more than one litter box if you have more than one cat. Also, take into consideration how often your cats use the restroom when purchasing this litter.

Please note, I received my car litter OPEN in the delivery box, along with purchased cat food. The entirety of the order was decorated in cat litter, and I was asked to return the open and spilled cat litter in order to receive a refund! The litter should have simply been sent separately. Chewy, please assist with a refund.

Use this in an 'extra' litterbox as an option for my cats. It has turned into the primary litterbox for my senior male cat with early kidney disease and seen more frequent use by my 4yr old female with cystitis. They only use it to urinate, but it is remarkable because they make their potty in the small box! If they use regular clay litter, both of them spray. So something is working! I'll continue to offer them this option.

At first, I thought that this was the answer that we needed for our senior Siamese. However, in order to get an inch of this product in the litter pan, a small one needs to be used. The expense incurred, for me is just not worth it. We ended up mixing this with the regular cat litter and placing on top, but after a few mixing of her dear feet, it just disappears. Not something that we will purchase again.

It caused my cat and myself respiratory problems and it took forever to get our breathing back to normal..I didn't realize at first that was the problem until I went back to our other litter preferences.

Good super-fine grain litter

fine enough that my cat doesn't actively avoid the litter box. I combine it with dr elseys unscented litter to save money

No Oder!!!!

This was recommended by my vet in Rapid City, SD, as I had a cat with an auto immune disease. I recognized that there was no Oder from the litter box!! Amazing!

I can use the litter for a month bit scooping daily. I have 2 cats and 2 large litter boxes. I have no problems with the cats using the litter boxes. I have been buying for close to 3 years. Chewy is the best way to receive my order. I don’t have to drag it from my car to the apartment. Highly recommend!

Litter back

This is like the ad on TV. It’s heavy, sticky, and dusty. This may suit some other cat parent but Definitely not for me. I went back to my crystals.

This worked great for my elderly cat!

My 17 year old cat started urinating outside of the litter box, not all the time just sometimes, so I read an article on chewy about this-and the article recommended this litter, as well as a litter box with lower sides for easy in and out access which I purchased. At first I used some of this litter mixed with her old litter, but I immediately noticed a difference. She started using the litter box again! It is quite expensive for a small amount, but totally worth it. I was spending a small fortune on carpet shampoo, urine smell destroyer, not to mention scrubbing the carpet every weekend! I will definitely continue to use and buy this!
