Ingredients

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.

I'm still experimenting with litter, but this is a current favorite, especially for the price. Truly unscented, light to moderate dust (which is to be expected with clay litter), and decent odor control. I find this to form normal clumps that are not super hard like others mentioned, so maybe this is a cat by cat or climate issue. The dr elsey litter in the blue bag actually was a pain to use for producing sticky messy clumps but version this has solved that issue for me.

We bought this to try bc of the low price. The litter did what it advertises and that is hard clumping but it was more than I bargained for. It was like concrete hard and did not scoop away from box easily. It was much more physical effort and time consuming. It was also not fresh after one day, it would start to smell like a cheap litter. We did not like it at all unfortunately for our needs/desires.

not sure why my experience is the opposite of everyone’s, however this litter was not good. it would constantly get stuck to the bottom of the pan (stainless steel and plastic) and then i’d have to scrape it off. when i scraped it off, tiny parts would break off and i’d have to spend an extra 20 minutes getting all of it out. does not live up to the hype online.

It's good

We use this in the litter robot 3. For the cat that pees normal it's great because it clumps into a perfect ball. For the cat that does acrobatics in the litter

We use this in the litter robot 3. For the cat that pees normal it's great because it clumps into a perfect ball. For the cat that does acrobatics in the litter robot it doesn't clump the best.. Sometimes there is no odors and other times there is . Minimal tracking and no dust.

A friend that has her own Foster for animals suggested Dr. Elsey's litter. In two days- I knew I would never buy another brand again. It clumps very well and there is very little to no smell - period. Easy to scoop. Hits 100% for us.

We switched to this litter after previously using freshstep multi cat. I like that this is fragrance free. It clumps the best out of all litters we have tried, no broken pieces that get left in the litter when scooping. So in that way it does make it much longer lasting. Low odor, but I do find I have to add a litter deodorizer (Frag.Free w/ zeolite..) Price is good. My only complaint is the packaging. Not super convenient if you don’t use up the whole bag at once.

Am i the only one struggling to move or pick up the 40 lb bag of this stuff? Lol. The weight aside, this litter works well to cover the smells, is low dust and low tracking, and clumps hard... Very hard. When i clean the box in the morning and evening the clumps are like concrete and hard to scrape off my plastic box (you definitely need a stainless steel box for this clay litter) which is why i took a star off. Aurora didn't have an issue with this litter, but ClawDia didn't like using it. I think it hurts her joints, as she has arthritis. For that reason alone i will probably be trying a different, softer litter. This is the best and healthiest brand of clay litter, though.

I love that this litter is basically smell free to my nose. I had a friend come over and ask where the litter box is because she couldn't smell anything. It's in a spot that is not hidden and she had walked past it a couple of times.

Concrete clumping

Great product, we were using the crushed walnut style litter but it has been underwhelming lately so we tried this, it clumps amazingly, turns their waste to concrete

Great product, we were using the crushed walnut style litter but it has been underwhelming lately so we tried this, it clumps amazingly, turns their waste to concrete. I could pave roads with this stuff, probably work better.
