Pioneer Pet SmartCat Unscented Clumping Grass Cat Litter

We've used clay litter and pine pellets and this one is, by far, our least favorite. My cat has asthma so we were trying to find a low dust cat litter, and while this is definitely that, we're not sure it helped with my cat's asthma anyway since it was grass and he possibly is sensitive to it. I only used this for a month and had to stop, the odor control was not only poor, but it was emitting a constant weird smell that stunk even after the litter was scooped. It's not a pleasant smell and made our house smell bad, it made me nauseous, and I hated scooping it because of the smell. We've since switched back to the pine pellets and it's like night and day.

This cat litter certainly lives up to its name by thoroughly clumping. No more bits of broken mess left behind in the box to soil litter left behind. That part is refreshingly welcome. The part to which I am adjusting is the unscented part. The litter has a natural odor of its own that is released as it is used, and that has necessitated some air freshening aids in the cat box room, an easy solution to the scent issue, while the litter offers a grand solution to the messy box issue. I found my cat litter!

We have used Pioneer SmartCat litter for several years. We rescue senior cats so always have a houseful. The litter is lightweight and controls odor very well. It retains its odor controlling properties for a long time so we don't have to change litter as often. We love the fact that it is sustainable and, even though it is grass-based, we haven't experienced any allergy issues with the cats. The only downside is that this litter does track quite a bit and, because the particles are larger than clay litter, they are more noticeable, but we wouldn't trade this litter for another just because of that.

I was really tired of clay and this stuff smells ok. I've been using it for roughly a year, and tracking is my only complaint. Seriously, this stuff will find its way to the other side of the house somehow. Still better than the other brands I tried

I love how light weight it is and that it’s so easy to scoop out the clumps and no dust! Also my cat is not ingesting or breathing in dust and perfume. I wish I knew about this litter a long time ago. It does seem a little expensive but it lasts a long time.

Really traps urine odor and the clumps stick together really well. Very lightweight and soft on kitty's feet. It does tend to scatter a bit if your cat is overly enthusiastic (as is mine), but it vacuums up in a snap. I use this with the Frisco corner sifting litterbox, which has high enough sides to reduce a lot of that disarray.

this is the BEST litter I've ever purchased! I live in an apartment and my cat's litterbox has to be in my bedroom, so having an odorless litter is VERY important to me. with this litter, you wouldn't even know I had a box in my bedroom unless you saw it. there is NO dust and it clumps very well. my cat loves it. its affordable. its natural. what's not to love? it does track, but so does most every litter, especially with the way my cat loves to kick her litter out of the box.

I was very excited to find a litter that clumps well, but this litter clumps so well that the clumps become cemented to the litter box walls and bottom. I use a scooper that has a long extension pole due to mobility issues on a daily basis since we have two cats.. The clumps harden very quickly.. I have to apply so much pressure to scrape the clumps off the bottom or sides of the litter, that the pole shortens and needs to be readjusted to the proper length. I really need an ice pick attachment to loosen the clumps. If ever I was unable to clean the litter box for a week, I would have to throw the litter box out due to the cemented clumps. I am going back to my old litter.

I absolutely love this litter. It clumps super hard, is easy to scoop. I add to it as needed, but have to change far less often. It controls odors and doesn't have that horrible perfume smell. It also weighs less than most litter. The only downside is it tracks more, but that is a small price to pay for the benefits.

I was previously using Dr. Elsey’s Precious Cat Unscented litter because it is very low dust. It was fine for one cat, but odor became a problem now that I have two cats. I did not want to switch to a scented litter. My search for an alternative led me to this grass litter. It is indeed dust-free, which is the most important aspect to me. I also absolutely love how lightweight it is, too. The 20-lb bag is a comparable volume to a 40-lb bag of clay litter. The odor control seems good for an unscented litter. As long as I clean the boxes every day, it does not stink up the house. I never smell urine, but their poop will be stinky if not scooped every day.
