The BEST litter I've used!
I wish I would've tried this litter sooner! I hesitated because of price. I tried a small blue bag from another retailer. Thinking I'd be disappointed. Then an orange bag. Thank heavens Chewy has it in the big bags!!
It is worth every penny. I've tried countless litters, from all the clay varieties, which I wanted to get away from using. To worlds best(which stinks & does nothing for the urine smell) wood, pellets. This is by far the best! I'm literally amazed!
There's is almost no tracking, I scoop twice daily, there are less crumbles than any other litter I have tried. I read other reviews that said to wait until the urine has dried a bit before scooping. That does help with crumbles.
The ammonia smell that occurs with other litters I've tried, does NOT exist with this. I'm so impressed! My cat took right to it, no more mixing with clay litter. It's softer on his paws, better for environment, it has a faint wheat scent that does not overpower. I never thought I would find a litter that impressed me like this!
I use to clean my litter box completely out wash it & put all fresh litter in every 4 days. Because of the smell, and crumbles with other litters. I've gone 12 days so far & could go more with my twice a day scooping. I prefer the orange bag for clumping.
Not clumping
I was looking for a more eco friendly alternative to clumping clay litter. This stuff does not clump like clay. It falls apart when you are scooping making a huge mess. Smells good, but would never buy again.

Perfect for our older boy
We have a 16 year old cat who is prone to getting in his litterbox with wet paws. We switched to sWheat scoop years ago to help prevent the amount of residue that was getting stuck in his paws. We really like how we don't have to worry about him cleaning out large amounts of clay residue from his paws anymore. It's not the best at preventing odors but we just make sure to clean the box frequently and it isn't an issue. This product works really well for our cats needs.
Light weight
This litter is very friendly to seniors who have a hard time carrying heavy clay litter bags. It's awesome at odor control and is flushable. It make me and my kitties very happy.
Description Doesn’t Match Litter
I bought this because I seen it was all natural, flushable, dust free, and on sale. Also, just wanted to try a different litter. Not good! It clumps, but when you go to scoop it, it falls apart like sand. The litter box smells worse with this litter than any other litter we’ve used. It even smells really bad with baking soda. It’s, also, hard to flush. Sorry, but I won’t be buying this litter, again…

No longer offering cardboard packaging
I have loved this product for many years, but am now not able to have a sustainable cat waste system since sWheat scoop has discontinued cardboard box packaging. The sWheat scoop company's justification is that they pay offsets to save the oceans from plastic, but this is no help at all when the consumer is left with large plastic bags that are not recyclable. I have looked extensively and there is no option other than the trash for these bags. Many pet food companies have "take back" programs where you send the bags back to them but I still don't know if they are just being dumped in the landfill anyway. I'm going to try using chicken wheat as a homemade littler. We'll see how that works. I'm also requesting "World's Best Cat Litter" give us a cardboard box option since sWheat scoop doesn't seem open to offering cardboard boxes again any time soon. All the cardboard box options on store shelves right now are clay-based litters, and that's a whole different set of environmental issues.
They have changed the composition of the litter
I have been purchasing this product since 2010. And have been totally satisfied and happy with it up until my last 2 orders. The company has changed the consistency of the litter. It used to be more dense with bigger bits of litter vs a lot of dust/powder. This last shipment of 2 36 pound bags which I placed within the last 2 weeks are the absolute worst. I won't be purchasing the premium again.
My kit-kat does not dig when using her litter box. She goes on top of the litter and leaves it. Doesn't cover it up whether it's urine or poo. Up until this last shipment, the litter would catch her urine and it would clump before hitting the bottom of the litter box. Not with these last two bags. The litter is less dense and the urine goes right down to the bottom of the litter pan. Causing the pan to smell. I even spread baking soda for the first time ever on the bottom of the box hoping that it would catch some of the smell.
I will try the Green bag version as I have used that in the past and had good results as well. If it turns out that the quality of that product is now the same as these last two bags, I will no longer purchase sWheat Scoop products. I had noticed a slow change in the consistency over the last year, and with the price increase(s) over the last 6-8 months I can't afford to pay for an inferior product.
Don't waist your money
I normally purchase the Green Tea Pellets but this time it wasn't available, so I decided to try this one for the first time. I regret it after cleaning the litter box for the first time, it was Like concrete on the top, bottom and soft in the middle. I wad really disappointed and mad but couldn't throw it away because I bought the big bag, but ill never buy this product again. STAY AWAY, DONT WAIST YOUR MONEY.
sWheat scoop
Having tried many different kinds of cat litter I find sWheat scoop works best. Especially with not having any strong lingering smell, and it clumps well.

CAUTION CANCER
I lost one cat in December to intestinal cancer and my other one diagnosed Friday with intestinal cancer!!
Wheat, corn, and corn byproduct litter can develop a fungus called “aflatoxins.” This fungus can be fatal to cats. Aflatoxins can grow in dehydrated corn or wheat when it gets damp from urine or humidity and transform into mycotoxins, which are deadly. This fungus can get on your kitty’s paw and get tracked through your house. And when she grooms herself, she’s destined to swallow a bit of it. Scariest of all, aflatoxins cause cancer.
So, I considered that maybe mycotoxins are super rare and maybe I shouldn’t worry about them. So, how common are mycotoxins? More common than I realized. One study from 2016 tested almost 480 samples of dried grains and corn like those used for cat litters and 90% of the corn samples contained mycotoxin and 100% of dried grains.
Both corn and wheat litters can also contain harmful herbicides. Some herbicides cause chronic bowel disease and many vets consider them carcinogenic.
