Pioneer Pet SmartCat Unscented Clumping Grass Cat Litter

If you don't want to read my review, then let me just say that I HIGHLY recommend this litter. I've tried every cat litter option that is available for local purchase, trying to find the one that doesn't track, has zero dust, has zero scent, clumps well, is fairly light, and that my cat likes. This litter is the closest, by far, to that holy grail. I don't know if all of those are possible in one litter. I will say there is no dust, no scent (a natural smell yes, but it is pleasant), clumps hard, is very light, and the tracking is low. The only thing that would make this perfect is if it didn't track at all. I doubt that is possible for any litter so I say good job Pioneer Pet.

I have tried a few different cat litters, trying to find which one works best for us. This one clumps the best, if you want clumping. The odor control pretty good. I have 2 kittens and 2 litter boxes. I empty the boxes 1-2 times a day, because I prefer having a clean box for my furry friends, NOT because it smells. The BEST thing is that there's no dust, even when pouring from bag to box. It does track a little, but that's most cat litters. I am pretty sure we have found the one that works best for us! Good luck to those are their cat litter journey, haha.

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 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.

It tracks more than clay, but to me it is worth it for how much lighter weight it is. … more

We have 3 cats and multiple foster kittens at one time. We use this for all the cats and they have adapted to it well. It’s dust free so good for me and my asthma. It’s very good at scent coverage unless you own a cat who doesn’t cover their poop, like some of mine, and if that’s the case not even clay litter will cover that smell. It does seem to track more than clay but it’s also a lot lighter. It’s a little more expensive than the clay litter we previously used but I feel the extra expense is worth it. Bottom line is my cats are happy with it so I’m happy with is.

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 had been on a hunt for the best litter for my cat & saw this litter was rated very highly on All About Cats video so I decided to purchase a few on the list & SmartCat litter really just worked wonders. It makes cleaning the litter box so easy with the way it absorbs the urine, no scrapping the litter box like so other brands I’ve tried. Love this product!

Let me say up front that this litter tracks as baf or worse than anything else I've used, and I've tried a lot of litter products. I haven't used silica, so I can't speak to that. Now that I'm retired and old, I can't handle 40lb bags of clay litter as easily, but I DO I have lots of time for daily sweeping. So I value odor control, clumping, ease of scooping, cats' satisfaction, and easy product handling over tracked litter. I'd rather handle lightweight litter and sweep more. The ground grass seed is light, so it's going to track more than heavier clay, pine, walnut shells, etc. I get good results using memory foam bath mats outside the boxes to keep the litter contained.

The mats with holes that catch litter on the second layer aren't much help with this litter. Plus, my cats jumped over them anyway, so they weren't 100% effective with any other litter I tried, either. I previously wused Dr Elseys litter for multiple cats. It worked well with odor conttol, clumping, lasting a long time, and tracking, until it became inconsistently dusty. One bag would be fine, the next would kick up horrible dust. Enough dust to compromise both my and the cats' breathing. And those 40lb bags! So I tried this grass seed litter. It's eco-friendly, clumps well, easy to scoop, prevents odor, lasts a long time, and has a low amount of very fine dust. I scoop 4 boxes at least daily and only have odor when a cat gets lazy about covering her business. Combined with a Catit litter box, which I recommend for ANY kind of litter, no refuse ever sticks to the box. This product does have a faint aroma out of the bag, something like the scent bread baking from a neighbor's house. But barely noticeable. I have always used unscented litter. The scented stuff makes me ill. Anyway, it lasts for weeks, months maybe-- I've yet to dump a box completely to sanitize and refill. Just top off, and use sanitizing wipes while scooping if needed. This product is not for cat caretakers who value trackless litter above all else. The cats all transitioned easily from the clay to this litter. In fact, when I combined both litters, less tracking occurred. So I might experiment with adding a layer of the Dr Elsey over the grass seed to see if there is significant difference in tracked litter. I have a 40lb bag to use up still! … more

I think it's my favorite litter because it's so lightweight, clumps well, and is dust free. It feels safe to use for my asthmatic cat. I only have 2 issues and it's the odor control and tracking. I'm not sure if it's my cat's poop and pee that smells or it's the litter when it's activated. It's odd to us because we never smelled anything with his previous litter. Also, it tracks more than clay litter. I have to sweep my floor every day. Despite these issues, I plan on sticking with this litter.

A bit more pricy than previous ones I’ve tried, but it met all the expectations! It’s also very lightweight, so you get a much larger amount. I have two cats- so three litter boxes, and one bag is lasting quite awhile- which is also due to great performance. It does clump much better than clay. Very clean removal that doesn’t leave small damp clumps from urine behind (the ones you usually can’t get, or crumble apart, and cause the litter to no longer be fresh). Also doesn’t leave residue that normally sticks to the sides of the litter box. And more importantly; natural, no fragrance (but no horrible odor) and no dust, which can cause respiratory problems. Cats are happy. I’m sticking with it. A bit more pricy than previous ones I’ve tried, but it met all the expectations! It’s also very lightweight, so you get a much larger amount.
