However, recent changes in the formula have led to complaints about increased dustiness, poor clumping, and tracking issues.

Amazing
Really pleased with this, being using catsan for 10 years as nothing else really kept the smell away from as long (max 2 weeks). Was always sceptical about clumping litter but this stuff is the business. The cats seem to love it too and they are far quieter in the box. So far the odour has been far better than catsan - it smells a bit like a hamster cage, but I'll take that every day of the week over urea / ammonia smell that usually surfaces after a week or so.

Easy to Use
I have been using this litter for a while and I like it. I like the fact that it's a natural, plant based product. It clumps well and doesn't smell so I find the litter tray easy to clean. I have a covered litter tray and track mats and this keeps tracking to a minimum.
Clumps well but tracks so use with other litter
Been using this litter for a while with our DSH cat and not much tracking until we bought our 6 month old Mainecoon kitten who's very furry tail and paws were tracking litter all over the house! I then bought a 10L pack of Breeder Celect paper litter to try (http://www.petsathome.com ). Sprinkled a thin layer of the recycled paper litter on top of the ‘Cats Best’ litter and both work well -very little if any tracking and great clumping. No odours, we clean daily and replenish fortnightly.
It WAS cats best!
Have purchased this product for years. It was Oko Cats Best but name changed as did the product. Last 2 40lt bags were a great disappointment. Different colour, texture and odour control. Also my four indoor cats track litter all over the place. Why did they change the original formula? I do not recall any notification of when they did this or any reason why! Am due to order more cat litter but it will not be Cats Best sadky

Absolutely fantastic!
After reading some bad reviews. I brought the £7 something bag to try. And i can actually say its a really good litter. I had brought numerous ones to try as i have 3 cats. And one is unwell with very bad bowels! So the litter is always getting changed. But this has really held up great and i have now brought the 40l+20l saver pack. Not much waste. Dont really have a smell to it but does not smell bad. Honestly one of the best litters i have tried. Tracks abit but they all do ! 5stars

Was premiership level, now Sunday league
With 2 young ragdoll boys, found this litter perfect for the job of clumping well, preventing any bad smells and lasting very well. But WHAT have they done to the formulation. It’s useless at clumping up wees and mixes too easily into the unused litter, smell retention is measly. I would urge that Zooplus contact the manufacturers to find out if, why, when they changed the “magic recipe” and show them all of the recent reviews to see if they can change it back.
great cat litter
Looked for an alternative litter when my supermarket discontinued their own brand wood pellet litter. This is expensive but because liquids clump together and are easily removed it can be used for weeks & doesn't smell at all. I wouldn't risk flushing down the toilet but compost the used litter when changing.The only downside is it sometimes sticks to paws and gets scattered but this was mostly solved by using a hooded tray and I feel is a small inconvenience compared to the effectiveness.
Messy
This litter is not totally terrible. It clumps nicely. I've seen worse. But it's so light that it gets stuck to cat's paws and furr and gets everywhere. Half of my house is covered in it every tim the cat uses it. Benek is so much better.
Clumps well but tracks
Have been using this for our DSH for over a year and not spotted any major issues until we got a long haired cat and this litter tracks everywhere, gets into his paws, his tail etc.
On the plus side it does clump well if you leave it for a while and is easy to scoop out -not to heavy.

what a mess
It clumps well but I have to keep brushing the floor every time the cats use the tray as the chips get caught in the cat's fur and they trace it around the house.

Worse cat litter ever!!
This litter is a total nightmare, it literally gets tracked everywhere and I mean everywhere. Have never used a worse litter. I can’t comment on whether it’s actually any good as I binned it after 6 hours as I couldn’t cope with the tracking. Back to tigerino

What's Happened?
used to use this a lot but recently seems to have changed. smells bad, no longer clumps properly and seems to be made differently. used to be made of wood pellets and it smelled like fresh sawn wood now it just crumbles to dust and smells horrible. Won't be buying any more

Very great product
Had no probblem with the product at all been buying this cat litter for 3 months been great. As been using from 4 week old kittys know they 4 months. All good told friends and family
Awful Cat Litter
I bought this to try after reading reviews.
It smells awful like urine all the time the worst thing is it tracks all over the house from my 3 cats so is really messy.
Unfortunately I bought 40L so a total waste of money and not cheap.
When used will go back to my clay clumping litter.

Manufacturers Ruined its formulation!!!
You had a winning product. Clumping ability now poor. Odour control now poor. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE...REDUCED QUALITY WILL NOT MAKE YOU MORE PROFIT...WATCH AS CUSTOMERS WALK AWAY!!!
Fantastic litter
This litter is honestly amazing, both in terms of value and quality. I have seven litter trays, eight cats, five of which are permanently indoors with the rest being indoor/outdoor. I bought 60l of this, and it's lasted for 5 weeks in 6 trays without needing to be binned, and I'm only scooping daily. It comes in small clay like granules, so the transition was easy. It has quite a strong paper smell, which may put off a fussy cat. Clumps well and has good odour control. Won't go back to clay
Dissapointed
Have used this litter for ages, now it has changed, doesn't clump as well and turns to dust. Use to be great value not now. Will now have to find another litter.
Stopped clumping
Just to add to the recent reviews, have been buying for a number of years but last bag just didn't clump at all, bits just falling apart when cleared out. Shame as was really good before.

Never again
So we thought we’d try a new litter for the cats, what a disaster!
It smells awful all the time even when cleaned out, gets absolutely everywhere And we are using more than we ever did!!
Back to the trusted Biokat we go!!

Changed formula?
Can only agree with other recent reviews. The last bag was terrible, it doesn't clump and the wet litter disintegrates into the clean so you need to use twice as much. This has suddenly made it very bad value where it used to be good value. I have requested a refund and will not buy again unless Zooplus confirms that the previous formula has been reinstated.

Excellent product
It absorbs pee really well and forms a nice clump.
It also does a great job with odours.
Excellent product.

No dust at all
I love this litter, and so do my pets. There's hardly any dust, but I've noticed that when I buy the same amount split into two bags, it's sandier and creates more dust.

Everything's fine
After reading the reviews, I went with another brand, but I came back and it turned out the reviews were lying. It clumps nicely, the cats like it, there are no problems with it, it doesn’t create dust, and it doesn’t hurt their paws.

Lower quality
I've been using this litter for 4 years, and it was the best quality-wise. I never even tried to compare the price because it suited my needs perfectly.
But the last two bags just aren't the same, it doesn't clump anymore, the litter just spreads everywhere. I'll give it another month, but unfortunately I'll have to give it up.
I have 5 cats -> 3 litter boxes, and cleaning has become more tiring and less efficient.

I'm disappointed with the cat litter
Hello, I've been using this cat litter for over 14 years. Since my last order, I'm really disappointed. The clumps are soaked all the way to the bottom. The clumps are way bigger than I've ever seen before. Obviously, a lot more litter is needed now. Has the product been changed or is it a production error with this batch?

Terrible
I've been using it for a long time, but lately it's just getting worse and worse. It creates a lot of dust, and the litter itself falls apart. I won't be buying it again. I'm really disappointed—I'm having the same issue with the food, it crumbles apart. I'm thinking of buying elsewhere. The quality leaves a lot to be desired.

Terrible!
What a terrible cat litter! It's incredibly dusty! My cat comes out of the litter box short of breath and coughing. The whole house is covered in a white haze. Whenever I scoop the box, a cloud of dust hangs in the air. I've tried many types of litter, but this one is by far the worst.

Worsened quality
The granules have changed to being big and sharp, so now my cats don’t like using the litter box filled with this litter anymore. Even when you step on it yourself, it’s really uncomfortable, so imagine how it feels for a cat’s paws. It’s a pity, because it used to be great.

Has gotten very bad
I've been using this litter for almost 10 years, but the last 3 batches have been a disaster. It smells terrible. I even contacted Cats Best to ask why, but they just said they hadn't changed anything. It's a shame they don't take this seriously.

Totally gone downhill
I've been using this cat litter since 2020, basically since I got my cats. It was recommended to me and I was absolutely thrilled with it. But for several weeks or even months now, I've noticed that it doesn't clump well at all, and the worst part for me is that it starts to smell bad really quickly!! I never had this problem with the litter before. It's such a shame because it's really hard to find a new, good litter.

Very practical, my cats like it
It's really practical for cleaning, since you can put the clumped pee straight into the toilet. After a few minutes, the pee dries and forms a ball, making it easy to remove. My two cats use it without any issues.

Change in composition?
I've been using this cat litter for over a year now for my three Maine Coons and I was always super happy with it. The new bag I ordered now is useless. All the clumps from the pee fall apart straight away when I scoop and end up scattered all over the litter box. Really annoying. I'd like to know if the formula has changed or if it's still the same and I just got unlucky with my 40-litre bag.

Disappointment
Years ago, this was good litter, but the problem is it isn’t anymore. The quality has dropped a lot, it doesn’t even clump or anything now. You’ve lost a customer who used to buy this litter for years, but I just can’t put up with it anymore. Not giving it another chance, it’s terrible, honestly don’t buy it. Anything is better than this.
