Fresh Step Multi-Cat Scented Clumping Clay Cat Litter

I am really disappointed in this cat litter. I had 4 cats years ago in 2013 and always used the regular Freshstep clumping litter ir the same just multi- cat. It was wonderful. This is horrible. Sticks to the bottom. If the litter box and clumps heavily. I remember that box lasted forever and was easily cleaned daily or every other day. I have only one young female and this is the pits. I hope that I can still get a Freshstep like the old one. I was always a constant customer and great word-of-mouth advertising. No more. Going to try and get an exchange or refund.

So this is kind of a weird review to write. I have purchased the 25 lb bag (the one in the cardboard box) before and generally find it suitable for my uses. However, I recently bought the 42 lb (4 pack) bulk option to save on money/shipments and I don't think it's actually the same litter? It doesn't have the blue crystals in it and the dust is REALLY bad. There's definitely some dust in the 25 lb container, but the stuff in the bulk option is next level. I changed the litter box and for the better part of a WEEK I could smell litter everywhere and I live in a tri-level. When I pet my cats, their fur was COATED in dust. I'm going to try and get through the rest of the 4 pack, but I'm definitely So this is kind of a weird review to write.

We recently adopted two kittens over the summer. The first clumping litter we bought (tidy cats) was so dusty, my kittens and I both were coughing and did not help the smell at all. It was a mess. I actually saw this brand on a Try Guys youtube video and thought it couldn't hurt to try it out. I don't think it'll be possible to have a completely dust free litter but this is as close as you'll get. & It's low tracking compared to the other brand. I'd say the litter on the floor from their paws has been cut in half since switching to this litter. Even though I'm a first time cat parent, my boyfriend has had cats his whole life and he thinks this litter is the winner out of any he's used before We recently adopted two kittens over the summer.

We are trying to find a litter for our two kittens. Never been a cat owner so I have to do some trial and error. I read the reviews, and most people seemed to enjoy this cat litter... Welp, not me or my kittens like this litter. It was so dusty that my cats would start sneezing every time they used it. I would have to blow the dust away after every scoop I sifted. I clean our boxes 3x a day so it wasn't like i was doing a whole lot of sifting through the litter. My cats would have little dust prints after, it's the worst. And I have little kids...I don't want them breathing this in, my husband has allergies and can't even come in the basement (where our cats room is) to play in the kids playroom We are trying to find a litter for our two kittens.

I just feel like this can not be healthy. I get a little dust is normal but not to the point where I have a freaking cloud of dust I can hardly breath. Do not recommend and will not purchase again. So far the Arm & Hammer Clump and seel SILD is the best for anyone who is picky, likes easy, and good oder control WITH VERY LITTLE TO NO DUST or tracking! … more

I can’t rave enough about this litter, I went from Fresh Step Extreme no clumping and having to do a complete rechange every 3-4 days to just scooping 2x daily and cleaning fully once a month. Also the smell difference! I don’t even notice the litter box is there anymore whereas before it was crazy, I recommend this to everyone

This is the best clumping litter of all time and has a great scent. My cats have been using fresh step for nearly 10 years but there is 1 issue, the litter is NOT dust free. The dust isn’t the worst I’ve seen out of litters but it’s definitely there and I think it has become to culprit to one of my cats asthma attacks. No matter how much I stir it to let the dust go away before my cat uses it which I think helps, ultimately it deff still contributes to her asthma attacks. It’s the only possible conclusion I can come up with. No more catnip and different litter helps for sure. Arm and hammers smell isn’t nearly as good nor does it clump as well but it is 100% dust free so that is what I will be This is the best clumping litter of all time and has a great scent.

As long as your cats lungs are healthy sure fresh step is the best but otherwise until they tweak this with no dust completely, I can’t come back to it. … more

I've used Fresh Step for many years. What I am noticing about this particular one is that my kitty seems to be spreading more litter on the floor as he comes out, as the last four pack didn't leave a litter trail as badly, in addition to the fact this seems to be dustier, even though the packages say 99% dust free.. I'm thinking the last foursome are a bit different than this one I purchased from you. I purchased it locally. Well, just the same, I like that Fresh Step does not leave odors. I try to keep his box clean daily, but even if I do not, the odor is taken care of by Fresh Step.

I've been a Tidy Cat Clumping litter user for 19 years. I kept lying to myself that it was still the best litter. Something had changed and and ti wasn't my cats. It stopped clumping a LONG time ago. I was always left with a muddy mess. I switched to this litter after reading reviews and a recommendation from a friend. Believe the hype. This stuff clumps and grabs hold like an old lady to her purse in a bad neighborhood. There was something I wasn't expecting. It even tracks less! I had zero issues getting my cats to use the new litter. This is my new litter.

I received my box of litter vacuum sealed in plastic. That would be perfect with the exception that there is loose litter sealed outside the box! It’s really going to be a mess to open. That being said, I will still have it delivered rather than shop for it because it’s so convenient. Just be aware, it’s not perfect packaging.

I’ve used A&H before and I find that it leaves an awful odor. Fresh Step, actually any scent is THE BEST! It scoops up nice and doesn’t leave a lingering odor. Fresh Step is the only litter I’ll use!
