My cat ended up in the ER after a few days of using this. If ur cat cleans her paws like she has OCD like mine this could kill her. My neighbor took the excess home and said it was the worst as far as odor control and she had paw clay markings all over her house and her bed. She uses it for her small dogs too so she had it everywhere. It needs to be removed from the market. My ER bill was 200$ for them to weight her and scratch they're heads. When she coughed up a clay/ hair ball long and the diameter equivalent of a finger 5 inches approx is when we figured it all out. 2 weeks to her full recovery.

This is the dustiest cat litter I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. It will coat every surface of your home with dust and you’ll never get the smell out. For someone who has asthma, and who has a cat with asthma, and also doesn’t want the whole house smelling like cat litter, this has been a complete nightmare to clean up. Fresh Step used to be great, I’m not sure what happened, but the formula has most definitely changed.

We have three cats and I was really hoping that this was the solution to our problem. This claims that odor is controlled for 30 days but after about 4-5 days we have to change out the litter. We tried getting more litter boxes to see if maybe not having so much waste in one container would help in controlling the odor, but it was the same. I also tried the other variety that said odor control for 21 days and it was the same deal. I don't know if it's my cats' waste that's just super smelly or what. But the search continues....

Works but way too strong scent

It clumps well but way too strong of a scent and quite dusty but that’s typical of all clay litters. Gonna try a different Fresh Step version to tone down the scent

It clumps well but way too strong of a scent and quite dusty but that’s typical of all clay litters. Gonna try a different Fresh Step version to tone down the scent. And it doesn’t last 30 days but I don’t think any litter can do that. I replace every two weeks regardless but I have three cats.

Great camping and odor control

Made the mistake of buying Dr. elseys, whole house smelled like cat box within one day. but the stuff without doing any proper research on it and I can’t say that

Made the mistake of buying Dr. elseys, whole house smelled like cat box within one day. but the stuff without doing any proper research on it and I can’t say that I have any complaints. We have three cats, one with IBS,three litter boxes that get scooped once a day, and the cat room definitely still smells like cat box but much much less than before, and it is only to the cat room which the air purifiers clean up most of the smell. It’s not 30 day odor control, but I do a full litter reset every two weeks and it holds out with no loss of performance in that time. We feed exclusively wet food, which means a lot of urination and this litter clumps perfectly.

Our new fav

It’s hard to find a litter that our one isn’t allergic to and another has IBD (IYKYK) so we need the fullest odor control for him without upsetting her allergies

It’s hard to find a litter that our one isn’t allergic to and another has IBD (IYKYK) so we need the fullest odor control for him without upsetting her allergies. I think we have tried every litter out there and this is the new favorite to satisfy both problems.

Perfect! The litter is great; my cats are happy to use it, and no dust problem. Bonus for people with a bad back: it comes in 7-pound bags, so I open the big package in the car and carry the separate bags to the litter box separately.
