This cat litter seems to be absolutely brilliant for my cats. As soon as fresh litter is refilled, the two of them are already scratching around in the wooden pellets ^^. What’s really great is the excellent odour control (I clean the litter boxes daily, and anyone who visits us has never noticed that we have two cats ;)) and the option to dispose of the clumps via the toilet. Not to mention the "Very Good" rating from Öko-Test. Smelly bins are a thing of the past. Not for me, though, as I’ve been using Cat’s Best Öko Plus from the very beginning and can highly recommend it to everyone. At first glance, this cat litter might seem a bit pricey, but its very economical usage saves money in the long run. For us, there’s no other choice anymore – the cats love it, it’s kind to the environment, easy on our wallets, and keeps our noses and those of our visitors happy ;))

I've been using this litter in the loo for a week now... and my tomcat goes in much more often than he did with Thomson before. It does kick up quite a bit of dust when pouring it in, but it clumps really well. In terms of smell, it's fine; it absorbs well (I did the sniff test on my bag of clumps). The "beach effect" isn't great, of course, but you can't have everything, unfortunately.

At first, my three tomcats and I were really impressed with this cat litter. But after a short time, the litter starts to smell extremely bad, it creates an insane amount of dust (at times I’ve had pure powder and no granules left in the corners of the litter trays), the clumps fall apart when you try to remove them and stick stubbornly to the corners, the granules end up everywhere and my cats carry them all around the house. After one of the three tomcats started to become unclean, I completely emptied all three litter trays and switched back to Thomas clumping litter (which unfortunately isn’t available here). A big plus of Öko Plus is that the litter is nice and lightweight, so even as a petite woman, you don’t risk hurting your back when carrying it. However, I will definitely not be buying this litter again :o(

We have an Exotic Shorthair who is very sensitive with her little nose. I’ve tried many types of cat litter, but she always ended up sneezing, especially the ones with baby powder scent – those didn’t suit her at all. Now I’ve bought this litter, and she has no problems anymore. Now both kitty and owner are happy! The litter clumps really well, smells natural, the price is reasonable, it doesn’t create dust, and you can dispose of it via the toilet or compost bin. For us, this litter is THE BEST!!!

We've been using this litter for years. You can't smell a thing, even after weeks. You don't have to constantly replace the litter, and it lasts forever. My Maine Coon mix cats have no issues with it. The top product when it comes to cat litter.

So, I should probably start by mentioning that I’m a complete beginner when it comes to cats—my tomcat moved in with us last week at 12 weeks old—so I don’t really have much to compare it to. However, I do know all about the annoying litter box cleaning from my friends. Now, about the product: I’m absolutely thrilled! I had imagined the cleaning process to be much more exhausting (which it probably is with other types of litter too)—you just quickly sift through, toss the clumps and such into the toilet—and done... sensational! You don’t even need the special bin—it clumps brilliantly, though it’s a bit dusty.

Dear Zooplus Team, I have been using wood litter for a long time now, and I must say I am very satisfied with it. I have recommended it to others multiple times and have always received a thank-you from the users. I used to always get my product from Schlecker, but nowadays I don't enjoy the hassle of carrying it anymore, which is why I would now like to register as a new customer. Until further notice, I remain with kind regards to the Zooplus team, Yours, Delphin

This is so much better than anything I've used before. It doesn't smell and you can even flush it way.

The litter is coarse enough not to get stuck between the paws. Dust: Minimal Smell: Great (not too overpowering) Clumping: Excellent Even after a week, there's still no need to change it, and the kittens love using the litter box. The tomcat even plays in the litter and digs around just for fun, like Bob the Builder. We're sticking with it! :)

I have a 12-week-old kitten, and it uses the litter tray with Cats Best litter without any problems. It doesn’t smell and clumps together really well. I previously used a different clumping litter that wasn’t as good. This eco-friendly litter is very economical and odourless.

The smell is very unpleasant, even by the next day! As my predecessor already mentioned, absolutely do not dispose of it in the toilet, as it swells up significantly... Also, my cats really dislike it, and the fact that it spreads everywhere in large quantities throughout the flat is just one aspect! Very disappointing, I let myself be guided by the good reviews.

This litter is absolutely not for me, and our cat was also only moderately to not at all impressed... It gets 2 stars for the pleasant smell (like wood), which, however, only we found nice, while the cat didn’t seem to care... and for its durability—it’s really economical, and the base filling can last for 6 weeks without starting to smell bad... Now onto the negative aspects... which, for me, clearly outweigh the positives... The litter is dusty as hell... it’s just not okay. When filling the litter box, you end up with a layer of dust within a 1-metre radius around the box... Plus, the litter spreads just as well throughout the flat—I’d need to vacuum every 2 hours to keep up. Furthermore, it’s not as soft as described; I actually find it rather prickly... I’ve had some unpleasant experiences with it. I walked barefoot through the flat and ended up with a splinter from the litter stuck in the sole of my foot—pretty painful! I also wouldn’t recommend anyone trying to flush the litter down the toilet... We tried with a very small clump, and the litter swelled up so much that it almost caused a flood. Removing the huge slimy clump from the toilet took 2 hours... So, I can’t recommend anyone to buy this litter!

Great litter the clumping is amazing and 1 bag seems to last ages. Easy to scoop out the clumps so no wastage. Some people say it masks the smell of poop but I wouldn't say it does, no urine smells though like I've noticed with some over litters. Its not to messy although it does get in my cats paws and she always shakes them as she come out of the tray. I use a litter mat which pretty much traps these lose bits. Tried other litters but this is still the best for us.

Unfortunately, my cats also refuse to use this litter as long as there's an alternative available. In four days, I had exactly ONE clump in the litter box with Cat's Best. Both of the other boxes (one with dm litter, one with Golden Grey) were used much more frequently. And for me, this litter doesn't offer enough advantages over our usual litter (the one from dm-drogerie) to justify the higher price. Negatives: Extremely dusty – not just when filling, clumps are relatively large, clumps fall apart more easily, price. Positives: Lightweight, better odour control (as far as you can tell from using it once – at least the one clump smelled more like wood than pee), eco-friendly, can be disposed of via the toilet (provided the pipes can handle it, as this stuff swells up a lot). Conclusion: The litter does its job, but for the same price, you can get significantly better quality elsewhere!

Unfortunately, I can only give this litter a poor rating because both of my cats seemed to find the smell of the litter so off-putting that they no longer wanted to use the litter box. Unfortunately, I had changed the litter in the evening (after the shops had closed), which led to my tomcat standing desperately in front of the litter box the next morning, not knowing where he should go to pee. After changing the litter again, both my cats and I were more than relieved. My conclusion: For cats that are used to ultra-clumping litter (with or without baby powder scent), a natural litter is only suitable to a limited extent. Perhaps instead of a complete change, one should try gradually adding it first.

...is really great! I really like that you can dispose of the clumps with the litter in the household toilet. The price is good. The litter lasts a long time and doesn’t smell! I can truly only recommend it! That’s why 5 stars.

Based on the results from Stiftung Warentest – and the smell from our cats – I bought this litter. I have to say – BRILLIANT. It’s expensive, but absolutely worth it. We’ll only be using this from now on because it’s convinced us 100%.

The litter is very good and doesn’t smell. The cat litter box is easy to clean, and the clumps don’t fall apart like with some other types of litter. However, the litter crumbs get spread all over the flat, so it’s hard to keep up with sweeping. Additionally, the litter is quite dusty. Still, I keep buying this litter because the advantages definitely outweigh the drawbacks, and the value for money is truly excellent. With 5 cats, the 40-litre bag lasts about 1 month.

The litter is very good when it comes to odour control. The fact that you can dispose of it in the toilet is also a great solution. However, what I’ve noticed particularly recently, and very negatively, is that it’s very dusty, and I always have to use a scoop to remove the "sand" from the litter box when cleaning. My cats often end up sneezing during their daily business!

Öko Plus litter is the best litter I’ve tried so far. All clumping litters started to smell after a relatively short time. I have a very large litter box for two cats and used to have to completely replace the litter every day. Now, once a week is enough! Simply remove the used litter daily and, if necessary, top it up a bit. Done! It saves waste, water, and time. Although Öko Plus is more expensive to buy, it’s actually cheaper in the long run... The cats accepted it without any issues. The wood scent is pleasant, and it doesn’t create much dust either. The only downside is that the cats carry the litter everywhere. It sticks easily to their paws, and there’s no spot in the flat where you won’t find wood particles... But as far as I know, there’s nothing better out there. That’s why I’ll stay loyal to Cats Best.
