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.

Love it
1st time user and 5 cats going to buy this all the time now very impressed Oder is reduced the pee is easy to remove to which is a big deal smell wise

What’s changed? Last 2 bags have been terrible?
I usually purchase the 40L bags, as I have 2 indoor cats. The last 2 have been terrible:
🔹More dust
🔹Less absorbent (breaks up)
🔹No longer contains odor
🔹Tracks more
The first time I thought perhaps it was the bag, or how it had been stored, but twice!
At the time of posting this GB was in the middle of a heatwave of 30°. I’m wondering if the climate is having an effect. I’ll try 1 more bag, and if it’s the same, I’ll be looking to change products.

Not what it used to be
We have always used this for our cats as it was the best litter we had tried but the last 2 bags haven’t been the same. It doesn’t clump well anymore and it doesn’t hold the odours in. Don’t know why they changed it. Now I have to find another litter for my kitties. Has anyone found anything to replace this yet?
Doesn't clump anymore
I used to love this product and also recommended to any friends with cats.
However, the last two bags have been very different. It does not clump at all anymore. All the contaminated bits of litter us spreading out to the whole tray meaning I now need empty it more frequently.

Perfect for us
It clumps well and doesn’t create much dust. If you clean the litter box regularly, it doesn’t smell. Some gets carried out on their paws, but with daily sweeping around the toilet, it’s not a problem. Our cats don’t like scented litter, so this is perfect for them.

I always buy it. Good price.
It's just a shame that zooplus packs it in a big box. It would easily fit in a slightly smaller one if the top packaging was bent. And it makes a difference to me, because I prefer to collect my deliveries from the parcel locker.

It's not the same anymore
I’ve seen that other people have had the same experience as me.
I bought it for two years, it was really excellent.
For months now, it’s not the same anymore.
It DOESN’T CLUMP anymore.
As for the smell, unfortunately I’ll have to try again because I bought a similar one, but the bad odour isn’t neutralised.

Lately, it gives off dust
I've always used this litter and been really happy with it, but lately it's been giving off loads of dust. Even when I scoop it, I end up coughing from all the dust—imagine what it's like for the cats. I'm thinking about switching to a different one.

Brilliant
I've been using this litter for a few months now and honestly I don't regret it at all, it's really great. Plus, with a big bag I can fill five litter trays and still have some left over, so it's really good when you have several cats.

Dusty
The sand is very dusty, which is a shame because it goes a long way and clumps well.

Almost dust-free but clumping is mediocre
I previously used cat litter from Lidl and wanted a low-dust option. I'm very happy with this cat litter because it's quite low in dust and absorbs odours well.
However, I'm unsure about the quality of its clumping. It does form clumps, but the pee clumps break apart when I try to clean the litter box. The pee stays fairly wet, which is annoying because it leaves small bits of litter behind that already contain pee. As a result, the litter needs to be replaced more often.

Cat litter
The litter is fantastic, really efficient, clumps instantly, doesn’t get all sticky, and the bottom of the tray stays clean. I’ll only be ordering this one from now on.

The best
Our favourite: it lasts a long time, doesn’t leave dust everywhere (like the stone one), clumps well...
Negatives: it sticks quite a bit—leaves marks and it’s a bit pricey.

Very good cat litter
Great cat litter, the cats are happy, it clumps nicely and smells like wood. The pieces used to be a bit bigger, so now they spread it around the flat more, but it's still good and much better than the original bentonite one.

Excellent!
I've been using this litter since 2011 and it allows me to avoid bad smells in the house because I can flush it down the toilet. It's odourless so it doesn't bother me, and it doesn't contain any toxic substances for my pets. Finally, it's clumping and absorbent.
